Actresses and models often pay homage to Marilyn Monroe—but did Marilyn Monroe ever pay homage to the Hollywood idols of yesterday?
Depicted here are her impersonations of Theda Bara, Marlene Dietrich, Clara Bow, and Lillian Russell. Photos by Richard Avedon, 1958.

ONCE UPON A TIME…SPACE (1982) was a French sci-fi series, and one of my first TV memories.
It had an educational side: it explained concepts such as the rings of Saturn, or black holes. Whenever I’m bored I sometimes talk like Maestro (4), who had this wobbly old man’s voice.
