Marilyn was a great actress, not a dumb blond bombshell. She was very smart, very astute and a good businesswoman.

I knew Marilyn over a two-year period. I met her first on a movie called 'Let's Make Love.' I photographed her at that time on and off through the time of her death. I was 22 years old and she was 34 or 35.

When you've experienced the real Marilyn, it's difficult to watch a movie about her.' I didn't want to have the memories of my experience tarnished in any way.

It's so nice after 10 years as a blond actress in Hollywood to have people let you do smart things.

I think Jennifer Lopez is a phenom. And as far as I'm concerned, she's really a very smart businesswoman.

I really can't complain about actresses who get paid to be dumb. Most of us can't get paid to be smart.
