Donald Spoto in a 1993 interview on Marilyn Monroe
What needs to be said is that Marilyn Monroe was a decent and honorable woman who was not a woman of easy virtue and, as a matter of fact, was never a sexual plaything to be passed around for anyone.

In fact, she was intelligent, she was loyal. She spent her whole life making a series of moves in which she tried to better herself, to struggle against a difficult childhood and against almost impossible odds of being typecast as a sex symbol in Hollywood.
