Marilyn Monroe
June 1, 1926
Norma Jeane Mortenson
“I was very, very drawn to her. To me, she was like a golden child. She radiated light and vulnerability. She used to gravitate to me at parties because she knew I was not very secure either. She was fragile. I was very touched by her.”
- Jane Fonda
“I think Marilyn is bound to make an almost overwhelming impression on the people who meet her for the first time. It is not that she is pretty, although she is of course almost incredibly pretty, but she radiates, at the same time, unbounded vitality and a kind of unbelievable innocence. I have met the same in a lion-cub, which my native servants in Africa brought me. I would not keep her, since I felt that it would in some way be wrong…I shall never forget the almost overpowering feeling of unconquerable strength and sweetness which she conveyed. I had all the wild nature of Africa amicably gazing at me with mighty playfulness.”

Isak Dinesen
“Marilyn was a field of wild flowers, a gamboling puppy in the back yard, a pink sunset in June. She was glorious, and we had to look. Is that talent? I don’t care. It was magical.”
- Marlon Brando
“She was the realest person I ever met.”
-Evelyn Moriarty
“Well, I thought she was wonderful. She was a gal who was late on the set, but at the same time, she was getting ready for Marilyn to be on the screen. She wanted her to be perfect at all times. Once she was there, she was cooperative. She was wonderful. She never gave anybody any trouble. ”
- Donald O’Connor
“Fifty years on, we’re still watching her movies and talking about her. That’s not a dumb woman- trust me.”
- Lauren Bacall
“A warm human being, impulsive and shy, sensitive and in fear of rejection, yet ever avid for life and reaching out for fulfillment.“
Lee Strasberg
“She always was for me what every woman, not only me, must dream to be. She was gorgeous, charming, fragile.”
-Brigitte Bardot

HOUSE 1 by Alexis Dornier is a 500 m2 private residence in Bali, Indonesia.
From the architects:
Designed around three historic ‘centerpieces’ of traditional javanese ‘joglo’ building style, the steel structure becomes the contemporary continuation of the structure. Skylights and a floating mezzanine level highlight respect the 3 artifacts as ‘objet trouvé’. The person can explore these artifacts like an archaeologist, from every angle through a 3 dimensional experience. Under the loft like living room are two master guest suites with bathrooms - accessed through a suspended spiral staircase.
