Dorothy Parker, at her craft

…

Known within the New York City literary circuit (and further flung)

for her scathing wit, sharp remarks and barbed retorts-

she was a woman of fierce talent and spirit.

She wrote and said what she thought/felt.

Admired by friends and critics alike, her writings/comments were

provocative, never sugar coated, sometimes bitter to swallow

and worth a moment to ponder.

"She said what?!", Marilyn Monroe, quotation, quote on women's equality

 

‘She said what?!’

a new item to meappropriatestyle

featuring statements from outspoken women:

opinions, outlooks, observations

which they were more than willing to share.

 

…

She was born on 1 June 1926.

At birth she was given the name Norma Jeane Mortensen.

 

…

She never knew her father.

Her mother suffered from mental illness.

As a result of these unfortunate circumstances,

she spent much of her childhood in foster care.

…

Raped at the age of eleven, a high school drop-out at fifteen

and desperate to escape a childcare system,

which was anything but-

she wed her boyfriend at the age of sixteen.

At twenty, she was divorced

 

…

She signed her first movie contract in 1946-

the same year of her divorce.

She dyed her hair blonde and styled herself “Marilyn Monroe“

…

She would go on to study acting under Lee Strasberg,

at the prestigious Actors’ Studio.

She would become an international movie star.

…

She was known for her breathy voice,  screen sex appeal and curvaceous figure.

…

She married baseball great Joe DiMaggio –

a marriage which lasted only nine months.

She wed famed playwright Arthur Miller-

a marriage which lasted five years.

…

She was known to have an offbeat sense of humour

and a lively, sharp wit.

Many famous quotes on life, men and career are attributed to her.

…
