[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 285381, member: 5079"] There have been various speculative fictions written about what Marilyn's life might have been like if she had lived past 1962. These always seem to hinge on the notion that Marilyn would have turned her life around, but that seems wildly optimistic given that her entire adult life was basically a calamity. Even if she had made it past the events of August 1962 -- whether they were accidental or intentional -- I find it hard to imagine her life turning out as anything other than a tragedy. Her death at the far too young age of 36 was, of course, a great loss, but also enshrined her legend. Her image was spared the follies of middle-aged stardom and the ignominy of getting old and fat like Marlon and Liz. [/QUOTE]
