"I’ve never gone out with a man I didn’t want to."

“I think I had many problems as the 次 starlet keeping the Hollywood オオカミ from my door. These オオカミ just could not understand me. They would tell me, ‘But Marilyn, you’re not playing the game the way あなた should. Be smart. You’ll never get anywhere in this business 芝居 the way あなた do.’ My answer to them would be, ‘The only 芝居 I’ll do is for the camera.’ I was determined, no one was going to use me または my body—even if he could help my career. I’ve never gone out with a man I didn’t want to. No one, not even the studio, could force me to 日付 someone. The one thing I hate もっと見る than anything else is being used. I’ve always worked hard for the sake of someday becoming a talented actress. I knew I would make it someday if I only kept at it and worked hard without lowering my principles and pride in myself.” (Marilyn Monroe)

Gabri3la “It’s a matter of public record that Harry Cohn, the monstrous head of Columbia Pictures, tore up Marilyn’s contract because she wouldn’t get on her knees for him. This makes me very angry. And it’s a matter of public record that Groucho Marx in his own autobiography told of having spent $8,000 wining and dining her, and couldn’t get her into bed. And I’m not saying she never went to bed with anybody, but it’s a real cheap shot to say happy birthday to Marilyn by saying she dropped on her knees, Mr. Curtis.” — James Haspiel to Tony Curtis’ slandourous remarks on Marilyn “sleeping arpund”, 2001

Gabri3la Extract taken from Maurice Zolotow’s Marilyn Monroe Biography. Chapter 7; The Wolves, The Foxes and The Lovers. “Marilyn has never co-operated in studio-managed romances. She almost never went out with a man who she didn’t want to go out with. She would not exchange sexual compliance for a line in Hedda Hopper or Louella Parsons or a story in Photoplay Magazine. And she never submitted to sexual advances even if they could help her career. I’ve been told this many times, often by persons who had tried to seduce her in bygone years, men, often who were in a position to put her in good parts if she went on a weekend with them to Palm Springs, Tia Juna, or Las Vegas. The conclusion of these men is summed up in this statement by a producer, “Marilyn never slept with a man who could do her any good.”
