"My impulse to appear naked and my dreams about it had no shame or sense of sin in them. Dreaming of people looking at me made me feel less lonely. I think I wanted them to see me naked because I was ashamed of the clothes I wore - the never changing faded blue dress of poverty. Naked, I was like other girls and not someone in an orphans uniform." - Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe Misquote:
