Which I believe was my original point, except that people may have perfectly pleasant personalities, and yet not be talented actresses and intelligent too.

But if she doesn't have a nice rack, then who cares?

True, but then physical attraction probably has little to do with the persons achievements, at least not for heterosexual men. A lot of men do just care about the boobs, but that's pretty dumb.

I once introduced a women to a friend of mine. He asked me what she was like. I didn't really know her very well at all, so I could only tell him about her physical attributes. So I said, "well she has big boobs." His eyes lit up. He ended up marrying her, but she is a total *****. He's very unhappy.

molly bloom,

How does the fact that she was intelligence (that's actually new to me), dispute the fact that she was so frickin' hot?!

By today's standards she'd be considered to be too fat and wouldn't stand a chance to ever "make" it.

IIRC we studied one of his plays at school...can't remember which one or much about it.

I think that says more about today's standards than it does about Marilyn.

And I think it's also a bit amusing that while most people did remember to also praise Miller's work, half the posts so far have been more concerned with Marilyn.

Including this one. We may inadvertently have given the answer to which of his to major fields of achievement was the most impressive.

Ohh, certainly, wasn't implying otherwise.
