Re: Marilyn Monroe, Lousy Actress

No, you're spot on.

Sexy woman, terrible actress. A young Marilyn also had a brief cameo in the otherwise excellent John Huston noir The Asphalt Jungle (despite being featured prominently on the movie poster, she's in the film for about 5 minutes). She's playing a breathy airhead (which seems to be the limit of her acting range) who's having a fling with a man old enough to be her grandfather, and she's so wooden and obviously conscious of the camera that it's embarrassing.
