I don't think it's a very good likeness of Marilyn at all. Looks like it was done by a tattoo artist. | ||

I drew a charcoal of the Art Kane photo of her wearing a beautiful sequin dress - and not to boast, but it had way more likeness(no tracing or projector used) than this one on the fridge. Personally, I would have sprayed over it or removed it altogether if I couldn't get a better likeness.
Is this a great fridge? Because if it isn't, there's another reason not to use such a movie icon on the front door. Not that I could airbrush - I can't…so in other ways, just thinking aloud here. :-) Phil | ||

CircleW -. It's interesting that you thought it Marlene. Hope you don't mind me just commenting, nothing to do with your perception or impressions.
Marlena was born in 1901..big movie star before Marilyn, could have been her mother. My parent's talked about her being as big as Marilyn Monroe in a different way. When I see Marlene, I hear her saying, "I want to be alone!". (oops Greta Garbo (sorry, thanks Sandy)…but still ..Marlene. Such a sober individual in her photos. Ok, back to refrigerators..talk amongst yourselves. (I better be on my movie toes and finger tips with Sandy watching). :P)

Bad Example....
....Of what I call Synthetic Fifties.
You've seen it in magazines or on the Net - those people who have tricked out their homes with blonde boomerang coffee tables, a jukebox, chrome diner stools and maybe a breakfast nook made out of the rear ends of a couple of '57 Chevys. Nothing like that was ever seen at the time. Very few people with a proclaimed love of the '50s seem to have the effingest idea of what the decade was actually like. Phil, I think you're thinking of Garbo with the "I want to be alone" line. She spoke it in several movies, notably 1932's Grand Hotel, where she played ballerina Grusinskaya. The line became so famous that Garbo herself parodied it in 1939's Ninotchka, where Garbo is asked if she wants to be alone. The Swedish Sphinx's reply? "Nope!" | ||

No, Ralph,
The conversation just drifted a bit, which can happen when friends are talking.
The Norge is an example of "over-retro," something I had to fight very hard during the years when I was at Modernism Magazine. People were absolutely convinced that their snapshots of a house full of '50s kitsch and the family dressed in a manner straight out of Grease qualified them to get a magazine layout in a publication devoted to serious midcentury design and architecture. | ||
