[post_page_title]Marilyn Monroe[/post_page_title]
Poor, beautiful, tragic, and understatedly talented Marilyn Monroe. For the blonde bombshell, who is often referred to as the most beautiful woman who ever lived, her personal exploits and dark addictions overshadowed her accomplishments as a performer.
If the Academy ever took the time to consider Marilyn’s professional feats, then she easily could have been handed an Oscar nod before her untimely death. Marilyn was a subtle, comedic genius who could beat Doris Day if she had been nominated for Some Like it Hot in 1959. However, it was only Jack Lemmon who would get tapped by the Academy for his performance in the movie.
