Scary, it's spot on with me *shudders* wow. I've always felt an affinity with MM, not with looks, obviously (I wish) but certainly with personality type. I used to have pictures all over my room as a teen girl.

for all i know, mm was the opposite of responsible. i read she used to always be late on set, was irresponsible, had a very excessive lifestyle etc.

Mariyln suffered from Endometriosis and anxiety and was precribed uppers and downers drugs that messed with her mind terribly.She also drank but It was a time when these things we're not as understood as they are today and she had a terrible chilhood that left her very insecure. It doesn't mean she wasn't a responsible person in other ways.
