“What I really want to say: That what the world needs is a real feeling of kinship. Everybody: stars, laborers, Negroes, Jews, Arabs. We are all brothers. Please don’t make me a joke. End the interview with what I believe.” — Marilyn Monroe
Monroe reportedly pleaded with an unnamed interviewer near the end of her life for him to end the interview with her beliefs about the change she felt was needed in the world. This was never published by the reporter; rather, it was remembered and shared by her press secretary later. Perhaps her beauty betrayed her: though it brought her to great heights, it may have prevented her from being known as anything more.
