The Cheat Sheet

Life has a very pretty gallery of early unpublished photos of Marilyn Monroe. (Quote added because I felt inspired.)

“I certainly gained a tremendous amount of sympathy and understanding for why Marilyn would be as late as she often was—or not show up,” Williams says. “The energy it takes to put your face on, put your body on, put your game on, and transmit that energy to the world, and to be what everybody wants you to be—to give joy, to give pleasure, to give your body, to always be putting out and not getting back—is exhausting in a way I can’t describe.”
