You’re one of my favorite writers and definitely the Marilyn scholar. You most likely don’t remember, but i once asked how you’re able to create even with depression, and you told me it’s supremely difficult, but you do it. I’ve struggled with suicidal feelings, too. But i haven’t ever been able to fully embrace the madwoman like you have, Angelica.

Thanks for your review and this newsletter. I was always fond of Marilyn. The Misfits was one of the first movies I had seen, and her work left me breathless. The way she and Monty Clift, another troubled soul, interact is just...mesmerizing. Thank you for recognizing Marilyn’s artistry and humanity 💖

Thank you for this. Hate the way Monroe has been conceived as Trauma Barbie instead of the complex, intelligent, *skilled* artist she was.
