The Marilyn Monroe we didn’t know: Bendigo exhibition has surprises in store

Her first name is all we need. We know who Marilyn is — or we think we do. Half a century after her untimely death, her image is as potent and ubiquitous as ever. So is there anything new to learn about Marilyn Monroe?

Bendigo Art Gallery has a major exhibition opening in March that is devoted to her. And its discoveries come not as sweeping revelations or reversals, but in the surprise of small details and unexpected insights.

There are, as you would expect, images and film clips, musical numbers, newsreel footage, archival material, posters and publicity items. There are costumes from her movies, striking, spectacular garments that have become familiar in their own right. There are also pieces from her personal wardrobe, garments that represented another facet of the self she wished to project.

    ❤️ HAPPY 7OTH BIRTHDAY "NIAGARA" ❤️ Maril ❤️ HAPPY 7OTH BIRTHDAY "NIAGARA" ❤️

Marilyn Monroe enjoyed a good working relationship with her co-stars, in particular with her leading man, Joseph Cotten: 

“I enjoyed her company. I enjoyed working with her,” Cotten said  about working with Marilyn Monroe in her first starring role. He said  she had an appetite for laughter and was aware of her sense of humor  describing her as a “pretty clown.  Cotten recalls hearing about her  death and receiving a phone call from the Associated Press for a  comment. “At first I was sure it had to be an accident. Such buoyancy  of spirit, such sparkling anticipation, such a happy and comic attitude  would deny support to any theory,” he wrote. “But she had such moments  of fear and insecurity….As to all the other furtive theories-cover-up,  murder, etc. – I have no knowledge or interest in such sordidness. I  knew and acted with Marilyn Monroe. I am proud of having that  privilege.”

    ❤️ HAPPY 70TH 'NIAGARA' ❤️ "Do you walk i ❤️ HAPPY 70TH 'NIAGARA' ❤️

"Do you walk in real life the way you do in 'Niagara?' "

Marilyn: "I never think about the way I walk.  But since I was playing a certain type of girl in the picture who was not myself, and since the way I walked helped emphasize her, I walked as I did.
I'm sure my real-life walk is not exactly the same."

    Everyone at Marilyn Remembered is very sorry to he Everyone at Marilyn Remembered is very sorry to hear of Lisa Marie Presley’s passing. Marilyn and Elvis are frequently grouped together as icons of the 1950s as well as the pinnacle of celebrity. Lisa Marie was made up to look like Marilyn by the great Kevyn Aucoin book Making Faces 1994.

This fashion genius popularized the punk look in the 1970s and went on to great success with her own clothing line. Her collections typically reflect her rebellious personality and combine punk with feminine aesthetics. For our purposes, one of her looks from the 2008 ready to wear line bears a striking resemblance to Marilyn’s Bus Stop costume—a nod to Marilyn’s timeless appeal and Vivienne’s excellent taste.
