Norma Jean & Marilyn Page #3

He would't have to bring me candy

or toys or anything.

Just come say hello.

Come on now, little lady.

We're gonna have a good ol' time.

Just you and me and Gracie.

Come on. Up!

What do you say

we go pick up your things?.

And then,

what does Harlow say to Ben Lyon?.

She says,

"I wanna be free, be gay, have fun!

Life's short,

but I want to live when I'm alive."

And "Dinner at Eight."

What does she say in "Dinner at Eight?. "

Um, to Marie Dresser?.

Dress -- ler.

She says, "Do you know

machinery's going to take the place

of every profession?. "

And then, what does Marie Dressler say?.

"Oh, my dear, that is something

you need never worry about. "

Oh, that is so good. That is perfect!

Just perfect!

Baby, your mama's here.

Can you say hello?.

Gladys?.

Alright, here we go.

Oh, oh...Oh, my God.

Easy, Gladys. That's alright.

It's alright. It'll be alright.

Now,

we'll just set you down right there.

Oh, my back.

It's okay. It's okay.

Isn't she pretty, Gladys?.

Tell your mama what'ch you're gonna be

when you're all grown up.

Say, "A movie star, baby."

Tell her you're gonna be a movie star.

Gonna be our own Norma Jean Swanson.

Or maybe we'll call you

Norma Jean Stanwick!

How'd that be?.

Let's face it girls.

That wonderful guy in your house

and in mine is building your happiness

and the opportunities that

will come to your children.

Split-level homes may be in style,

but there is simply no roomfor split-

level thinking.

So when my Jimcomes home

from a hard day at the office,

our Family Room

brings us closer together...

Is there more?.

What was your name again, Miss?.

Dougherty. Norma Jean Dougherty.

And who sent you to us, Miss Dougherty?.

The Blue Book Modeling Agency.

Have you ever auditioned

for radio work before?.

No. Not before. No, never. No.

Well, Miss Dougherty,

you are to go back to

the Blue Book Modeling Agency

and tell them they should send you out

for print ads, and print ads only.

Under no circumstances

should they put you up for any job

that entails reading, speaking,

moving or anything

that might vaguely be construded

as acting because you do not have even

the slightest aptitude for it.

What?.

Blonde hair photographs better.

It can be made to look light, medium,

or dark just by controlling the light.

That's why my biggest demand is

for blondes.

If you wanna go places, honey,

you've got to bleach.

But Emmeline, it won't look natural.

What's so great about natural?.

The good Lord spreads it around, child.

You've already lost the hair lottery.

It's going to look gorgeous.

You'll see.

You'll feel like a different person.

You know,
