“I’ll never forget the day Marilyn and I were walking around New York City, just having a stroll on a nice day. She loved New York because no one bothered her there like they did in Hollywood, she could put on her plain-jane clothes and no one would notice her. She loved that. So as we we’re walking down Broadway, she turns to me and says ‘Do you want to see me become her?’ I didn’t know what she meant but I just said ‘Yes’- and then I saw it. I don’t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic. And suddenly cars were slowing and people were turning their heads and stopping to stare. They were recognizing that this was Marilyn Monroe as if she pulled off a mask or something, even though a second ago nobody noticed her. I had never seen anything like it before.”
- Amy Greene, wife of Marilyn’s personal photographer Milton Greene

Vintage women being badass. You’re welcome.
Don’t fool yourself into thinking ladies were demure and silent in the past.
I would like more female characters being this open

Today is 50 years.
omg the fear she must have felt
this makes me so sad
wow
A picture says 1000 words
she wore the bloodstained chanel suit she was wearing when it happened for days after cause she waned people to see what they had done to her husband (x)
that’s crazy^
They are literally keeping it in a vault and not letting anyone see it until it’s not going to cause riots
Lets talk about this
Jackie Kennedy was a wife that knew her husband was cheating on her. Not just with one woman either; there were quite a few.
Jackie Kennedy decided to stay by her husband because she loved him entirely and wanted to fix things, even if things weren’t fixable.
Jackie Kennedy was sitting right next to her husband when he got shot in the head and immediately put her hand up to his head to maybe stop the bleeding.
Jackie Kennedy held her husbands brains in her hand and then reached back for help.
Jackie Kennedy wore that blood stained suit because she was broken and traumatized.
Jackie Kennedy stood outside the little operating room while everyone tried everything to save her husband, while she sat in a blood stained suit; not just any blood, it was blood of the man she chose to stick by even though their marriage had completely fallen apart.
She sat in the fucking waiting room knowing that there was nothing that could be done, because she had her husbands brains in her hands in the car that was supposed to be safe for both of them.
Jackie Kennedy is a fucking goddess and she endured more with JFK than any woman ever should and I adore her and no one will ever convince me otherwise.
