There is a MM project I just found out:

Marilyn Monroe, how do you remember her? No more details. Mail to Henk Van Ooijen, Vlinderveen 258, 3205 EJ Spijkenisse, THE NETHERLANDS.

Henk has also an ongoing project on cows.

The tragedy of The Misfits is that the horses are mirrors of the people and vice versa. The scene in which MM becomes angry and mad, shot by Huston from a long distance, so you only see MM’s rage fit by body movements is for me one of the best cinematographic shots of all times.

An accidental photo, shot in the dark yesterday evening, from kitchen to garden, thru window of closed door.

Amazing lucky shot, called it THE FUNERAL, so apt for this group, I think.

Part of my face in the right corner, herbs in bloom are chives, white traces are water residu stripes on window of door.

That scene where Marilyn calls the cowboys murderers.  Gives me chills every time.

Comment by Guido Vermeulen on July 13, 2012 at 12:53am

Absolutely Theresa! The Misfits is absolutely !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For me there is this fascinating opposition:

MM thought she was a bad actress (and she was soooo good!!)

MM was a sex symbol (and that for me is her least attractive side, for me she is ugly even!! But she was a beautiful actress and it is so sad she did not see that side in herself; that for me is the real tragedy of MM, the distorted image struggle which is still continuing 2day).

The other collage I made is one I shall keep in my own collection:

THE FINAL SPLASH: WHEN MARILYN CARESSED DEATH

(nobody thought os juxtaposing MM with images by Klimt while for me this is quite obvious to do) The Kennedy brothers are even more decadent than Gustav. For him it was play and commenting on Viennese society. The K’s were just ******************   (censored or self censored).

Image again! Why do so many still think that the K’s were saints?

We will never tire of Marilyn Monroe, will we?  Ever so often, I pop THE MISFITS into the DVD player and am amazed.
