Marilyn Monroe
I've read all of Shakespeare and practiced a lot of lines. ... I am going to do Juliet first. Don't laugh. What, with what makeup, costume and camera can do, my acting will create a Juliet who is 14, an innocent virgin.
Marilyn Monroe
I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit I never get bored with raw carrots
