Upon her death, Marilyn’s personal effects had been boxed up and placed in storage, and there they had remained for 37 years. I was present in the Christie’s offices the day they were unpacked.
It’s an old image, but I still love it.

Marilyn Monroe’s Two Secrets
What I learned about the icon by folding her capri pants.

Paging Tutankhamen!
Unpacking Marilyn’s possessions was a surreal and extraordinary experience. I touched her Pucci blouses. I folded her black capri pants. I found myself holding crackly, dried-up old shopping bags—JAX of Beverly Hills—filled with stockings, slips, and brassieres. I touched hairbrushes with blonde hairs in them. I sniffed the Mexican wrap sweater she wore in the famous beach photo shoot, and detected a whiff of perfume.
The process of cataloguing and displaying Marilyn’s bits took months. During this time I learned some crazily illuminating stuff about the breathy blond bombshell. Brace yourself for some next-level revelations.
Right away, I discovered that Marilyn was shockingly and unimaginably slender. She was sort of like Kate Moss but fleshier on top. Didn’t see that coming, did you?
When it came to finding mannequins to fit her dresses, I simply couldn’t. M.M.’s drag was too small for the average window dummy. Smaller “petite” mannequins existed, but I could not bring myself to place Marilyn’s iconic garments on these perky fiberglass dollies. The frocks seemed too important and historic. For the public installation I decided to give them the Shroud of Turin treatment.”

Everytime I see this dress, I want it all over again.
There just aren’t any words to describe how perfect it is.

On Unforgettable, I play a woman who has a real ability called highly superior autobiographical memory. So basically she can remember everything. But my memory in real life? That depends. If I’m out drinking, it’s terrible.

Poppy Petal Emma Elizabeth Deveraux Donahue. My mother and father just didn’t stop. They were like, We can add this and we can add that. We owe this person and we owe that person. So I just got all of ‘em.
I want what she’s wearing.
