I think that has become the definitive Marilyn Monroe clip. <br /><br />I was never a Carol Channing fan; I could only take her in small doses.<br /><br />This has nothing to do with movies, but when I was younger my grandmother would sketch pictures of animals and ladies; she was pretty limited. She said she couldn't draw the guys correctly, and she didn't do cats, just dogs. All the ladies looked like Rosalind Russell. She must have been a fan.Cherdohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264612202714933480noreply@blogger.com
