A few months ago, my brother PJ went to Hollywood on holidays. He took a few pictures, including this one, of the star of Marilyn Monroe. Maybe the greatest star there ever was he said, commenting on the picture on social media. I think he is right, and there is no need for any maybes. She used to be my favourite actress, not so much for her acting skills, which to be very honest I think were rather limited (but very enjoyable nevertheless, what she lacked in acting abilities, she made up for in charm), but for her iconic status. Now, I have another favourite actress (you know which one), but I still think Monroe's movies are great fun to watch. Not always because of their intrinsic qualities (although she did play in genuine great films), but because they are freaking Marilyn Monroe movies.
