I do wish I could find a transcript of their actual interview - spiked apparently because the person who'd commissioned it had hoped Sitwell would be really snooty and rude about Monroe, instead of which she treated her with interest and respect and they had a proper conversation.zmkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972549292961948240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-74363909330702021742012-09-27T04:27:35.210+02:002012-09-27T04:27:35.210+02:00The article gave the impression that she was a kin...The article gave the impression that she was a kind patron to quite a few people but did not always receive kindness in return. zmkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972549292961948240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-54678726844822189452012-09-27T04:25:01.296+02:002012-09-27T04:25:01.296+02:00There was a reference in the review I read to comp...There was a reference in the review I read to comparisons with TS Eliot's work - but the reviewer was sniffy on the subject.

Not many people read her these days, but I like to hope she's primed for rediscovery.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482868994424241935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-58287292697836037392012-09-25T21:57:03.061+02:002012-09-25T21:57:03.061+02:00What a delightful woman.

Most famous people are disappointing in the flesh, but I suspect that she would have been wonderful company.Steerforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627936539372313828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-21233296977368575962012-09-25T17:08:14.575+02:002012-09-25T17:08:14.575+02:00Dame Edith's directness is beatiful ["bea...Dame Edith's directness is beatiful ["beatiful?" almost right on beatific grounds] beautiful - because she's so utterly confident in what she's going to say. <br /><br />Marilyn Monroe in private was so much more than a sex symbol. You can't include her in a blog piece and expect me not to put my spoke in. <br /><br />I loved those photos of other celebrities on the same page as well. John Lennon looks totally disembodied. Grace Jones and Andy Warhol jogging together? Wow. I suspect the conversation wouldn't be in the Sitwell league but I wonder what <i>they</i> talked about.Denis Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786035137418348609noreply@blogger.com
