Reluctantly Admiring

I never was a big Marilyn Monroe fan, as I didn’t think she’d done anything all at interesting aside from be voluptuous, but the more I read about her, the more smitten I am.

“Even though I was born [in Los Angeles], I still can’t think of one good thing to say about it.  If I close my eyes and picture LA, all I see is one big varicose vein.” 

~From “The Beautiful Child,” published in the book Music for Chameleons by Truman Capote
