Larry Schiller has spoken to Peter Howell, movie critic at Toronto.com, about his new book, Marilyn & Me.
“I think there’s another reason (why she succeeded). I think Marilyn didn’t offend women. Women were never insulted that their husband and boyfriend were looking at a picture of Marilyn Monroe. You can offend a man and get away with it. You cannot get away with offending women.
She was instinctively the kind of woman that women understood. She was a sympathetic figure to them, because of her miscarriages and husband problems. Her sexuality didn’t offend women.”
