Forever Norma Jean

Siempre me encantaron sus películas. Con 7 añitos ví "Con faldas y a lo loco" y "La tentación vive arriba" y me cautivó completamente. Años más tarde leí su biografía y me gustó aún más.
Norma Jean y Marilyn, las dos caras de una moneda. No sé quién de las dos es más digna de admiración. Norma Jean, la mujer sencilla, inocente, sensible,insegura, con afán de superación, buscando ser aceptada, querida y valorada.Y Marilyn, la rubia de bote, la que disimula su miopía,la que duerme con solo unas gotas de Chanel nº 5, el símbolo sexual, la mejor amiga de los diamantes, la más envidiada, la más imitada, la que empuja a Norma al suicidio.

A mí siempre me gustó más Norma Jean, y aunque siempre se mantuvo en segundo plano, a veces asomaba a través de los ojos de la rubia.

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
