5. Marilyn Monroe: More than just beautiful?
Episode description
During this episode Yo is joined by author, Holly Butler, to discuss Holly’s new book: Me, Myself, & Marilyn, Travails of a Love Hungry Look-alike. We explore the question: Would we consider Marilyn Monroe a leader?
We explore and reference the following:
· The CNN original series: Reframed Marilyn Monroe (https://cnncreativemarketing.com/project/marilyn/)
· Holly’s book that integrates quotes through-out her book and captures quips we can hear Marilyn saying.
· We recognize Marilyn’s power and ability to succeed in Hollywood through her magazine articles (Redbook magazine, “Wolves I’ve Known” article), calculated publicity events, and establishment of her own production company.
· Was she a victim, exploited, or caught in her own persona – you can decide for yourself as you listen along.
· We conclude she was certainly a powerful leader given her millions of followers today.
We hope you’ll enjoy listening to this episode and walk away with a new understanding of Marilyn Monroe as someone who was not only beautiful but a leader in her own right.
More about Holly:
Actress/songwriter/author Holly Butler had been living in Los Angeles, working as an actress and Marilyn Monroe impersonator when she first felt the burning desire to write a novel. She put her book writing dreams on hold at the time to focus instead on a new career as a songwriter -- relocating to Nashville in 1998. Having worked as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator for 25 years in California, Nashville, and around the world, it became clear to her to weave her knowledge of Marilyn and her look-alike adventures into a fictional tale of a young woman searching for love & meaning while channeling the blonde icon. This is Holly Butler’s debut novel.
