En 1948, Marilyn Monroe, aún conocida como Norma Jeane, vivía una etapa de transición clave entre el modelaje y el cine. Aunque el mito popular suele atribuirle un coeficiente intelectual de 165 (un dato sin registros oficiales que lo avalen), la realidad es que su mente brillante no necesitaba cifras inventadas para destacar.
Era una lectora voraz e incansable, dueña de una biblioteca personal con más de 400 volúmenes que incluía obras de Dostoyevski, James Joyce, Sigmund Freud y Walt Whitman. Lejos de la etiqueta superficial de "rubia tonta" que Hollywood le colgó, Marilyn era una mujer autodidacta, muy reflexiva, que tomaba notas detalladas, escribía poemas y se relacionaba con círculos intelectuales profundos (estuvo casada con el prestigioso dramaturgo Arthur Miller). Su apetito cultural voraz contrastaba fuertemente con los papeles que la obligaban a interpretar. Una mente brillante y compleja que el celuloide nunca terminó de reflejar del todo.
Watching Michael Che hand Colin Jost a joke he’s never seen before on Weekend Update reveals how much safety we buy with rehearsal.
Real connection usually starts right where control ends. The most magnetic people aren't the ones who never stumble; they're the ones who smile before reading the punchline.
One of the most beautiful stories I've ever read was when a scientist discovered a new butterfly species and named it after Iryna Zarutska.
The butterfly is called "Iryna's Azure."
"Her name will be forever immortalized as a butterfly," he said.
She will never be forgotten ❤️
The audience applauding might be the most outrageous part of this entire joke.
Colin Jost deliberately takes an extremely uncomfortable news story and disguises it as a wholesome conversation about male friendship. The audience goes along with him, laughs, and even applauds before he reminds everyone what the actual story involves.
Then comes his reaction: I cannot believe you clapped for that.
I love comedy that makes the audience realise they've been caught participating in the joke.
But be honest, did the punchline get you, or did the audience reaction make it even funnier ?
Check the voice change here when they start to discuss the Walton's and Walmart. She switches over at 29 seconds in. It's pretty remarkable #elizabethholmes
