*** All those incredible interviews were filmed by the Television Academy. I highly recommend checking out their website as they have been working on interviewing and recording the memories and careers of the biggest names in the business so we can all cherish and learn from the people who shaped this industry.
Some interviews had to be resynced by myself as the original upload wasn’t matching audio to picture. I only compiled clips relating to Marilyn Monroe. To check out the full interviews, go to: interviews.televisionacademy....
One of my friends was a kid when MM was filming the rodeo scene in Phoenix for Bus Stop. At one place she was sitting on a bleacher and dropped her purse to the ground. My friend got under the seats and got her purse for her. She smiled, pulled out a dollar bill and autographed it for him. He still had it till his death in the 1990s. I assume someone in his family has that autographed dollar now.
😱😱😱😱
Another MM fan from Phoenix- I bet there are more than us two🤣
That dollar bill is probably worth hundreds of thousands now.
Oh cool
@@richardmardis2492 I think you're right. I can't imagine anyone meeting her and NOT liking or even loving her 💖
Stories from people with nothing to gain giving an honest description of Marilyn, reveal a lovely young woman who had a few self-image concerns. Poignantly, none of them had a bad word to say about her, and felt protective towards her. A lot of people still do.
I love your comment bc it's very true and genuinely thought through. You said what u wanted to so nothing more to say. Except maybe.. We all love Marilyn and appreciate her for her truth and of course her work and achievements, fought hard for in a sometimes very cruel and cold life❤🌹❤🌹✨🕯🕯
@@Gigi1111Layna If I can add my 3 cents worth here. Although she was marketed, whether intentionally or not, as a sex symbol, there was nothing in her films that was too explicit; no bedroom scenes, no full nudity-unlike now. She retained a certain child like quality within her. That was changing towards the end. there was a certain mental instability there too and she became friendly with the wrong people. You can go in any corner of the world and her image is there. You cant say that of too many other actresses ...🌺
A truly wonderful contribution from Mitzi Gaynor. I am glad she said Marilyn was very talented because she was and that is not always realised
marilyn needed the right people in her life. she didnt have that. sadly.
Many people don't have the right people in their lives but it's got to be especially daunting when you are beautiful, funny, and talented.
I think she just loved everyone especially men it got her in trouble at times unfortunatley
Sinatra&Co. were the worst🫤
She didn’t, but she also didn’t stick around with people to long. She would be around people for a while and then move on to the next
It really sucks how not many celebrities do have the right people in their lives.
Marilyn, the icon that transcends time
talking about marilyn seems to bring these people to life
i think she had some kind of magic
I agree i can't get enough of her she's just so amazing
Thank you for putting this all together. Norma created the persona of Marilyn Monroe and either never knew her true self or lost herself in that.
I wonder if Norma thought she'd be happy as Marilyn when she created Marilyn - from what I've heard I don't think Norma was ever really happy.....
As a lifelong mm fan, this was pure gold. Great job!

I wish there were so many more hours of interviews of these Golden Hollywood People. I would listen to them read a phone book, I would appreciate every story they told! Now I believe most of them are gone now, accept for Mitzi.
Thank you for such a great half hour!!! ❤️
If the scars from anyone's childhood are left unheald, you can be sure they will somehow affect many decisions you make in adulthood, even if you're unaware of it!🙏
Great, real time stories, all tell a similar story of a beautiful, shy, kind, simple lady. RIP.
Adore Mitzi Gaynor, so kind of her, interesting insight into how Marilyn felt due to set treatment.
Marilyn is timeless
Mitzi Gaynor's comment on how Marilyn opened the door and did her Marilyn burlesque to her boyfriend was priceless. I bet she really did marry him quick-like after that, LOL.
Bette Davis was asked about people that fell victim to the hollywood machine such as MM and Garland. She answered that you really had to be tough and grounded to survive it.
Marilyn was wonderful on the screen, a real winner.
Rip Marilyn Monroe 🕊️🕯️
What amazing interviews! Hollywood GOLD! I admire how everyone loved her and how "Hugh O'Brien" protected her! He was just as handsome as Marilyn, was beautiful back then! Thank you for posting! I just loved it!
❤ ❤ ❤ 👏 👏 👏
In these people’s eyes , we really get a sense of her gentleness , vulnerability and her magnetism ! Bless her 🙏 RIP . Thank you for sharing this 🙏
Thanks for this! :)
Oh my God, hadn't seen this, marvelous video.
Thank you, this is
Heartwarming to
View. Thankfully, my editorial genius.
Thank you for you. You're my friend and loving ❤ 💕 all you do. I 💘 you
Thank you Silver Technicolor, this was so good to see and hear these people speak of Miss Marilyn Monroe.
I would give anything to have met Marilyn
Poor Marilyn was absolutely used and abused by so many. She deserved so much better.
She had the same choices we all do. She did what she did to get where she wanted to be. She got what she was after, but maybe not completely the way she imagined it. But here we are still talking about her so many years later.
She was an enigma A beautiful one
Marlyin Monroe was Beautiful on the inside out just looking to be loved truly....So sad Ive always loved her and my heart always went out to her because of her difficult life poor sweet girl...Wonderful she was.
I love Marilyn Monroe! This is great! Thanks for posting this👌🏻🤩💕👏🏻
Marilyn. 💗
Very nice. The REAL Marilyn by those who actually knew her - lucky dogs! Some of Marilyn's friends and aquaintenances may surprise a few like Jack Lord, Martin Landau, Joan Rivers, Connie Francis., Bob Crane.
Love you baby love you!!!!!!☆❤❤❤❤❤☆
Joan Rivers? When/how
@@titanicsosroblox Marilyn and Joan met at a cocktail party in NYC in early 1962 when Marilyn was 35 and Joan was 28, tho in a book written about this encounter Joan claimed to be 17. I can't find the book right now or I'd pass along the authors name. The book is about Marilyn's association with many celebrities many would not associate with Marilyn. Of course NYC was Marilyn's home for 7 years, to her death. In the interview Joan describes the encounter with Marilyn and their conversation. She says Marilyn was very modern in her look, attire. She complained to Joan about men, and all they cared about were boobs. Arthur Miller happened to be at the same event. Joan was at the time appearing in some off Broadway show.
@@neildickson5394Joan is gone now but she was known for her tall stories and outright lies so l wouldn't take anything she said seriously. No evidence to back up anything she said. It's highly unlikely she met Marilyn.
I love this compilation. It’s the first time I heard most of these interviewees speaking about Marilyn. Thank you!
Marilyn lives on way after her death, and we savour every word said about her, as if she is still alive. She is the one woman who fascinates me most, for reasons I simply cannot explain.
She is an eternal icon who withstands the test of time.
Amazing. Alan Young. A great performer. A wry comic genius.
Thank you for sharing this 😍 such a great opportunity to hear all these people talk about Marilyn 🤍
Fascinating interviews!! Thanks so much!!
20:48 This guy will explain how we used to be available by phone in the old days before cell phones. :)
She remembered Allan probably because he was one of the only men that treated her decently on a date.
True, but hopefully there were others.
What great stories about Marilyn Monroe! Thank you
Very interesting! "Thank you ever so"
This compilation of interviews was excellent and gave a great first-hand anecdotes and perspective of people who knew MM.
She was so much more than just her body and pretty face. I wish people would've worshipped her more for her soul that was just as perfect.
No one that is so beauifull is just body and face , it must have something feeding it so people cant take of their eyes of that person , someone that is actually only face and body you forget him a minute after you see him.
That's exactly what I find so disturbing, the amount of idol worship around this actor., no one really knows. Exactly why she seems so lonely, used, and abused.
@@edie4321 It's not so much Idol worship, more an appreciation of Monroe's talent and sadness for her. She had / has a confused persona that people can't get their heads around - how can someone who was so beautiful and talented be so sad? Doesn't make sense, does it. So people are drawn to her to see if they can find an answer to the Monroe puzzle. No one's solved it yet. Well, it can't be solved.
@@BattleBecause , Maybe she wasn't that good of an actor. People should know that there's a high price to be paid for being famous, it's called your soul. In knowing what Hollywood is truly about, there are plenty of reasons for the sadness.
@@edie4321 Maybe she was a better actor than people thought. Of course, a person would actually have to watch her films to see. Most people have never seen a Monroe film.
I didn't realize you were an expert on Hollywood stars and what every one of them had to do to become famous. What more do you know about the personal lives of famous people you've never met?
Fantastic!!! Thank you very much for sharing this🌞
So happy to see you enjoyed it!
Great stuff, thank you.
Very interesting to see these interviews
It seems (per Doris) that MM suffered from extreme insecurity or imposter syndrome which made her self conscious. There are quite a few people like that. It isn’t as rare as people might think. Doris isn’t the first person to convey how MM gave off helpless vibes. You can see it in many pictures how sad her eyes were most of time. Any gala and show that was put on was where MM could soar because she knew no one would question her abilities when it came to that.
Doris Day?
@@barbarawebb7185 Doris ROBERTS
This is wonderful!
Wonderful to hear these people who knew her as Norma Jean just kids all together.
Great interviews, fascinating hearing their opinions.
I love this it’s the true story on a beautiful women.
Damn! Didn't even know Doris was gone. Lovely woman. It's just a feeling when you realise a great number of these personalities are departed. What else is life?
What a wonderful video with great stories about lovely Marilyn.
I LOVE MARILYN MONROE..
I AM A FAN.
I LOVE ALL HER QUOTES.
U THE BEST. -------------- THX 4 THIS VIDEO.
Wow. Could you imagine what kind of person gets the kind of unanimous adoration and respect from so many? Makes her story even more sad.
Lou Gossett lived around the corner from my family in Brooklyn, NY.
Not all these people are stars--some are with the talent agencies or writers or other behind the scenes jobs. Third person interviewed, Alan Young, was the male lead in the TV Show Mr. Ed. I couldn't place the face but his voice still sounds familiar. He still has that same "regular guy" energy here too.
Ah mr Ed the one with the talking horse? 😂
@@no1nestandsalone387 of course of course!
I get the impression there was never anybody in Marilyn Monroe’s life who really loved her. I think if she’d had somebody who loved her, she’d have made some better choices, had a happier life and would have perhaps lived a normal lifespan.
I'm related to norma jean/ marylin monroe I think she was amazing person besides the acting and singing she was intelligent and a good person just Hollywood and her childhood broke her emotionally
wow at 5:00 who could tell a story about a date with Marylin Monroe this surreal!
her half sister described this date with danny , he was a young actor and studio wanted them to go out together, it was just business
All her foster dads “made a pass” at her?!?
4:33
She was abused, bro.
Thank you.
MM shows how people around you can be wild and careless about humanity when you r alone
I dont know why Mitzi's part made me tear up. And laugh at the end too.
What I have always thought was that she was really a great comedian.
Imagine being the Queen and beloved figure😍😍of Fox Studios lot. That everyone loves you and adores you… she must he something in real life😍
Absolutely amazing to hear from these people that actually knew her. 👍
I think the constant glamour and attention maybe took its toll on her. It was a nice thing to experience for a while but after a time you just want to be normal or you again and I think she realized that she was too deep into the persona to ever escape it
Exactly..,best comment about MM I’ve read in awhile.., I also wonder if she had had children if it would’ve made a difference for her. But then again, I wonder how life would’ve been for her children. I also think she was taken advantage of.
I ❤️you Norma Jean.
Hugh made me cried
If MM is in the sentence being spoken I'm listening,
Wow.
I wonder why they publish such interesting podcasts with such bad sound. Too low! Each one speaks at a different pitch, while others speak to themselves. If they raise the volume while recording, we can lower it, but not vice versa!
Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe intrection 😢
Hey hey hey :0
What did the 3rd guy mean by bagpipes!!? 😶😶
Actual bagpipes. There are pictures of Marilyn and him holding them on his show. There’s a link in the description.
💜💫
she was special
😢❤😢❤😢😢😢❤❤❤
She had no sense of herself?? My word.....she was THERE....everywhere she was going.
@Sophia W.: No, Marilyn didn't. She was always a lost soul. She had determination like no on else I have known or read about, but she had no "sense of herself". Had she had that, she never would have become a pill or alcohol addict. People who know themselves, do not become addicts. She tried, though. How she tried, and she is actually more lauded for that than for anything. Her fans, the world, people who worked with her, all saw the lost Marilyn, but wanted to see her WIN and be HAPPY. Sadly, that did not happen.
@@Missditabomb Your opinion. I have mine.
@@sophiaw.7356 I agree with you, based on everything I have read and seen concerning her, she was very aware of who she was, she was 2 people, the thing ( sort of speak) Marilyn Monroe, movie star, goddess, and Norma Jean, looking to be loved and give love . Too bad she couldn't merge them both, as the world only wanted to see Marilyn Monroe, and less Norma Jean. I have always thought she was captivating, I think had she found a real true love and had children, she possibly would have had a much longer life. I do remember a qoute she said about herself that I read in a book years ago, " Big tits, big ass, big deal". Lol, love her sense of humour, and if that quote doesn't let you know, HOW aware she was of herself, nothing does.
@@TIGGYY1 She certainly exactly knew how to play the role of famous sexy movie star:) Many times she exaggerated her role so obviously....as for example in the singing for " mister president". It was FAR too much...on purpose. The ridiculous puckering of her lips. She knew what she was doing. As if she thought: is this what you (males) want? You can get it.
After all...she was not a blonde but a brunette. 😂 It is a paradox that a world famous sex symbol was not able to get children. Because in fact the biological purpose of sex is to make children. And you are right. She should have been a great mom. And should most certainly have been the most happy in that role. She was a very sweet person.
@@sophiaw.7356 Again I so agree, about her iconic and unforgettable performance singing "Happy Birthday Mr. President", it was pure 100% Marilyn Monroe, the sexpot, the blonde goddess, everything (men) wanted and desired, and women envied. Lol. Arriving late, breathlessly, skintight sheer dress, etc, all this was expertly excuted by a very clever and smart woman who knew her star power and in control of her image and brand ,,and in this performance it all worked!!!
Love you mommy mm 💕
Who’s here from her/his insta ?😽
Mee
Hmmm.
He taught her to play the bag pipes? Is that an innuendo !??!?!
He did: there are pictures of her on his show and they’re both playing bagpipes.
@@SilverTechnicolor how sad, yet good
She playing. God
Bless her, she was
Precious ❤ 💖 just
Needing to be accepted, needing 😪 love. We love you, Honestly, we do. So many cruel to you, they were
Selfish, ignorant,
Jealous too.
🙏 ⚰ 🙏 MILLIONS STILL 💘 YOU.HONESTLY
She was Norma Jean baker…….or mortensen in some instances……….she was not Dougherty until she got married……….
Maybe he married her after she got divorced. Her ex husband stated Marilyn wanted to stay friends, but his wife was very jealous.
Cute story by Mitzi Gaynor.
Mitzi is still a beautiful woman.
i n'y a pas moyen de traduire tous ces reportages en Français, c'est inutile
Désolée que vous trouvez ça inutile. Je suis moi même française et j’ai passé beaucoup d’heures à compiler ces moments gratuitement… Cette plainte serait probablement plus utile en étant adressée à TH-cam qui contrôle les outils de traduction sur les vidéos.
@@SilverTechnicolor ce n'est pas le reportage que je trouve inutile c'est l'intérêt qu'ils devraient avoir pour tous les lecteurs de façon à pouvoir les lire ces vidéos
Hugh O'Brien. Class act
I was hoping this would be more juicy. Lol
Well when you have no real sense of your self and personal being, then people take advantage of you and she is proof. Awm
19:27
She needed protecting ..
No one and I mean absolutely no one is a star in Hollywood
How dare they compare themselves to a star in the heavens?
Stars are unreachable, stars constantly shine bright. Hollywood does not. Stop comparing yourselves to the stars in heaven, because trust me none of you absolutely none of you can compare yourself to the stars that are up in heaven.
Settle down....
doris roberts & lou gossett jnr 😃
what a ~sublime~ set of a beautiful people to be surrounded by.!
✌🏻🇦🇺
Often wonder I'd she had metsoeone nice in her hometown. She married that guy.. who joined the army. If she had met a better husband and settled down did a bit of modelling on the side..she might have had a happier life
