She was born under the astrological sign of Gemini,  "The Twins". And she was always two people, nearly opposites. She so expertly played a dumb blonde that many people believed that's what she was. They made fun of her whenever she would talk about art and literature. And she was always, inside Marilyn Monroe the expert creation, a little girl named Norma Jeane.
