She listen, wants, cares. Marilyn has amazing intuition - and her perceptions are razor sharp. Out of those damned responsive eyes of hers flickers thought after thought. She and I talk a lot about New York, which we both love. Like me she lives there between pictures. Hollywood is a world of self-strokers, where sanity depends on a sense of humor. Marilyn has it - in spades. No subtlety of humor escapes her. I catch her laughing across a room and I bust up. Every pore of that translucent skin is alive, open every moment - even though this could make her vulnerable to being hurt. I would work with her than any other actress. I adore her.

“ I have the same problem as Marilyn. We attract people the way honey does bees, but they’re generally the wrong kind of people. People who want something from us - if only our energy. We need a period of being alone to become ourselves.”
- Montgomery Clift

" Marilyn was an incredible person to act with…the most marvelous I ever worked with, and I have been working for 29 years. "
