[on Marilyn Monroe] Marilyn was an incredible person to act with, the most marvelous I ever worked with and I have been working for 29 years.
Montgomery Clift
Everything Marilyn [Marilyn Monroe] does is different from any other woman, strange and exciting, from the way she talks to the way she uses that magnificent torso.
Clark Gable
[on Marilyn Monroe] There were two entirely unrelated sides to Marilyn. You would not be far out if you described her as schizoid; the two people that she was could hardly have been more different. She was so adorable, so witty, such incredible fun and mo...
Laurence Olivier
[after directing Marilyn Monroe for the second time in Some Like It Hot (1959)] I have discussed this with my doctor and my psychiatrist and they tell me I`m too old and too rich to go through this again.
Billy Wilder
Nobody can imitate me. You can always see impersonations of Katharine Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. But not me. Because I`ve always drawn on myself only.
Joan Crawford
I was the first home-grown sex symbol, rather like Britain`s naughty seaside postcards. When Marilyn Monroe`s first film was shown here [The Asphalt Jungle (1950)], a columnist actually wrote: `How much like our Diana Dors she is`.
Diana Dors
I played the Marilyn Monroe role of "Loco" in "How to Marry a Millionaire" (1957), though I didn`t consider myself as that kind of actress, I approached the role more as a character.
Barbara Eden
I always thought it would be fun to play [Marilyn] Monroe. But who could play her, you know? You can`t do it right out, you can`t do her story without letting yourself for all kind of criticism. Candy Cane is like a lot of women were in the 60s when Monro...

Sherilyn Fenn
I think I was 8 or 9 when I had a f*cking mad thing for Marilyn Monroe. I used to leave Smarties, the Irish equivalent of M&M`s, under my pillow with a little note saying, `I know you`re dead, but these are very f*cking tasty, and you should come have a f...
Colin Farrell
[on working with Eddie Murphy on "Trading Places"] His effect was dazzling. There was a "ding!" when he walked on, almost like Marilyn Monroe.
John Landis
It stirs up envy, fame does. People you run into feel that, well, who does she think she is, Marilyn Monroe? They feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you, you know, of any kind of nature - and it won`t hurt yo...
Marilyn Monroe
There`s nobody in the world like me. I think every decade has an iconic blonde, like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana and, right now, I`m that icon.
Paris Hilton
I have fame on the level of a Marilyn Monroe or an Elvis Presley, but part of the reason I didn`t go the way they did was because of my beliefs. People make judgments about Scientology, but often they don`t know what they`re talking about.
John Travolta
I think it will be helpful to people because I know the expectations that are put on you as a sex symbol, and how Marilyn Monroe suffered and so on, and I was able to get free of that.
Kim Novak
I`ve never liked the name Marilyn. I`ve often wished that I had held out that day for Jean Monroe. But I guess it`s too late to do anything about it now.
Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe wanted to be this great star but acting just scared the hell out of her. That`s why she was always late - couldn`t get her on the set. She had trouble remembering lines. But none of it mattered. With a very few special people, something hap...
Richard Widmark
I picked that (Marilyn Manson) as the fakest stage name of all to say that this is what show business is, fake. Marilyn Monroe wasn`t even her real name, Charles Manson isn`t his real name, and now, I`m taking that to be my real name. But what`s real? You...
Marilyn Manson
Look, there`s nothing wrong with my tits, but I don`t go around throwing them in people`s faces! (Crawford, criticizing Marilyn Monroe .
