I think this month must have been her birthday or anniversary of her death or something b/c there's been mad documentaries & remembrances of her life...
And, they all say the same thing..."oh, she had an innocence about her"

, "she was IN LOVE with JFK, his brother, Joe Dimaggio, and every Tom, Dick, & Harry at the time"...or, that's what they CALLED it, apparently, when you slept around (in those days)

.
I mean, don't get me wrong, her childhood may NOT have been the best & she died a sad, lonely, & unnatural death...but, dag...she was living FOUL (I mean, she REALLY played herself at JFK's birthday party).
What you dish out is almost ALWAYS guaranteed to come back to you! And, she had the nerve to want to be taken seriously as an actress....ACK!
Sorry...I had to vent...cuz she didn't add one iota to the betterment of the world (other than T&A, as many men will argue)

...
Why don't they go on & on about Paul Robeson?? Sheeeesh!
