[01] What Marilyn Monroe has said for the Greeks
Marylin Monroe, the famous American actress, was born on June 1, 1926
in Los Angeles. Greek journalist and author Alekos Lidorikis met her
twice, in 1947 and in 1953, during his stay in the US where he worked
in the studios of 20th Century Fox.
In one of her interviews to Lidorikis, Monroe referred to Greece and
the Greek people.
"I would love to have been born in your country. The Greeks are
beautiful! And I am not only referring to their looks, although
the eyes of the Greek people are always sparkling so strangely and
so...lustfully. I love their guts and their light-heartedness as well
as their spirit to always seek the best even in difficult times. One
day I was playing with a boy in the 'dirty' and disgustful LA. It was
a boy from Greece that had the obsession to collect shells... I called
him Apollo...he kissed me once... then we lost each other...Now he must
be a perfect and handsome man."
