Happy Birthday, MM

Today marks what would have been the 85th birthday of Norma Jean Baker, known to the world as Marilyn Monroe.

I once read a column, can't remember who the author was, that postulated that in some cases it might be a good thing that our icons and heros sometimes die young. Would we really want to be seeing a Today Show interview today with an 85 year old Marilyn Monroe, or is it best that we remember her as the pre-eminent sex symbol of the 20th century?

You tell me.
