“Marilyn was the beautiful bad girl in that tight, rose-colored dress. The character she played was strong and taking control, which I unconsciously knew at that young age [12] was a necessary quality for a woman. I can understand the photographer Bernard of Hollywood’s [Bruno Bernard] statement, ‘it took a superhuman effort to be Marilyn.’ I identify.
“People in their mind have created who I am and act as if there is no real person inside of me. Just like Marilyn. Marilyn never wanted to be just a celebrity. Neither do I … I had always thought that movie stars were in films that would last forever in your mind. But now the films don’t. I don’t want to be remembered as someone who just wanted to be photographed, who goes out at night, and gets in trouble.
“Heath Ledger once said to me, ‘It’s built you up to knock you down and that’s all it is.’ Marilyn said she had no foundation. But she said she was really working on it. I’ve been trying to do the same thing … I believe in myself and I’m a good actress.”
– Lindsay Lohan wrote a forward for a new Marilyn Monroe book, Marilyn: Intimate Exposures, and, predictably, made it all about Lindsay.
I don’t even get why Lindsay was asked to write a forward in the first place? Is it because of how often she tries to convince us that she’s as glamorous and as beloved as Marilyn Monroe? Is it because the drugs are really fueling her creativity? I don’t know, but either way, Lindsay needs to check herself.
To be fair, I’m not all that familiar with Marilyn Monroe – I know all the general things, I’m just not some Marilyn buff who could explain what, if anything, makes Lindsay think she’s on that level – but I do know one thing. In 50 years, ain’t NOBODY gonna be sporting a Lindsay Lohan tattoo … right?
I love how Megan Fox is removing her Marilyn tattoo because she realized Marilyn was a negative person and is trying to distant herself from her and Lindsay is doing the exact opposite.
Lindsay is such a train wreck. I also like how she name drops Heath Ledger.
Well most of us know things subconsciously, but maybe for Lindsay unconsciously is more accurate. Anyway the thing that made Marilyn Monroe an icon was the glamour and mystery involved in her simply living her life. She wasn’t going around trying to convince people of it. If you feel the need to tell people you are on the same level as Marilyn Monroe then there’s a damn good chance you aren’t even close.
How can she think she is like Marilyn Monroe? For one thing, she isn’t dead…yet. She isn’t anywhere near being iconic…unless being drunk and getting away with stuff that would put us dirt people behind bars for more than a few years…I think she could aspire to being the female O.J., however.
oh em gee, i just love how she drags heath ledger into this. “yeah he said something extremely original especially to me! i’m important!”
fuck this bitch. i was rooting for her for so long, because i always found her to be so beautiful. well, she has fucked herself up for good, damage done. go home,kid.
and why is she dressed like lara croft?
OMFG!
She should kill herself too. Heh, no I keed.
I wish this friggin bitch would meet the same fate as Marilyn, but only slow and painful.
What a dumb bitch, obviously heath ledger never said that to her, shes full of shit and she made that up. How dare she disrespect his spirit like that, making up fake quotes. Lindsay Lohan youre such a joke. No one thinks youre cool.
