As an artist who appreciates classic films, I admire Marilyn Monroe for her captivating presence and the emotional depth she brought to her roles. She transcended the "blonde bombshell" image, revealing a woman of great emotional complexity, which resonates with me as an artist.

Her relationship with JFK, shrouded in mystery and controversy, adds a tragic element to both their legacies. The connection between two iconic figures highlights the tension between public and private lives, and the personal cost of fame. I'm drawn to the way Marilyn balanced her glamorous persona with the vulnerability behind the scenes, which makes her story, and her link to JFK, all the more fascinating.
