Marilyn Monroe once spoke of her deep admiration for Abraham Lincoln, describing him as the ideal figure in her life. In her own words, she said, "My father is Abraham Lincoln. I mean, I think of Lincoln as my father. He was wise and kind and good. He is my ideal, Lincoln. I love him." Monroe, known for her vulnerability and complexity, often sought inspiration from historical figures she admired, and Lincoln stood out as a symbol of wisdom, compassion, and strength. This connection between Monroe and Lincoln speaks to her yearning for stability and guidance, qualities she felt were embodied by the 16th president.

The 1954 photograph taken by Milton Greene, featuring Monroe alongside a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, is a powerful visual expression of this admiration. The image captures Monroe’s reflective mood, with Lincoln’s portrait looming behind her as she gazes towards it. This intimate moment serves as a reminder of how Monroe sought comfort and inspiration from those who had shaped American ideals, as she navigated her own personal struggles in the public eye.

Marilyn Monroe’s connection to Lincoln reflects more than just a passing admiration; it speaks to her deeper desire for wisdom, love, and guidance. The image and Monroe’s own words reveal a side of her that was more than just a glamorous movie star. She was a woman deeply influenced by the great figures of history, searching for ideals and role models to guide her through the complexities of her own life. Monroe's reverence for Lincoln endures as a reminder of her vulnerability and quest for personal meaning beyond the fame she achieved. Kuva vähem
