Marilyn Monroe slept with Einstein?
Adam
Sounds almost....no - exactly like a Mary Whitehouse Experience
sketch. It ends when the Einstein lookalike leaves the room,
falls to his knees and shouts "Oh no, blown a definite sh**".

I don't have a clue as to the truth of the story, but it made it
into a film called "Insignificance" by Nicholas Roeg.

I actually heard this back in high school, I don't know why I haven't posted it
before. I was told by one of my friends, that Marilyn Monroe slept with
Albert Einstein because she wanted to know what it was like to have sex with
the smartest guy in the world. This seems like it's probably untrue, but it
could lead to something more interesting. A new type of UL- X did Einstein.
Has anyone heard this story, or another version where someone else sleeps
with Einstein? (besides his wife)
Daniel Bradshaw
I have absolutely no idea whether this story is true or not, nor
do I even believe or disbelieve it firmly. However, I really hope it
is true. As a physics major, I know it gives me some hope for a
brighter future.

In her first autobiography, Shelley Winters claims she and Marilyn once
made lists of the fellas they'd like to sleep with and that Marilyn put
Einstein on her list. She further claims that at a later date she
noticed a photo of Einstein at MM's and it was cryptically autographed
"With many thanks."

I'm hunting the cite: it's not in the Oxford Dic of Quots, so was

Could this rumor come from the famous story about "My beauty and your
brains," which I'd always heard told of Einstein plus blonde bimbo, but
which I recently read about G.B.S. and Isadora Duncan?
Just curious,

The chronology is a bit tight: Marilyn reached what you could call
star status (thanks to "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes") only two years
before Einstein died. Still, she did envy intellectuals and I'd like
to think my old hero got a treat... rj

Here's how I heard it:
Monroe meets Einstein, begins flirting.
Monroe: Just think if our kids had your brains and my looks.
Einstein: But dear lady, suppose they get your brains and my looks!

.. well, just because I have a photo of Kelly LeBrock on my desk saying

that mean I'm King Stud of the Universe, or does it mean that I have a

You may be thinking of the Nicolas Roeg movie "Insignificance",(1985)
with Teresa Russell, Gary Busey, and Tony Curtis. Four notables of the
50's, including Monroe and Einstein, spend the night in a hotel room,
discussing sex, the universe, and everything. Very strange movie, very
talky, but no sex that I remember.

It seems like people saw this movie and didn't realize that it was
fiction.. (They very very blatantly state at the beginning of this movie
that it's ALL MADE UP.)
I thought it wasn't a very interesting movie either. IQ, while
not a _great_ movie either, is better. (and is fiction involving Einstein.)

On my bookshelf (well, two-thirds of him, anyways), but I don't think
it's her. For one thing, GBS and Terry didn't meet in the flesh until
she was almost fifty (though still toujours gai). Secondly, GBS thought
Terry was extremely talented as well as beautiful--he thought she wasn't
reaching her potential because she stayed in Irving's shadow, but he
would never have suggested that she had no brains.
Perhaps it could have been another actress (I've never read the bio
through and through) but the line doesn't sound much like Shaw anyways.
It's too damn cutesy. It's so much more appropriate to Monroe and
Einstein: pretty and stupid (at least by persona) vs. smart and ugly, and
both celebrities in a way Shaw never was.

I've heard two versions of the above story...neither involved Marilyn
Monroe and/or Einstein. One was Ellen Terry, the actress and George
Bernard Shaw. The other named Shaw and Isadora Duncan.
Einstein-Marilyn must be an "update."

I have this attributed to Shaw re Isadora Duncan in a 1946 compilation
published by Simon & Schuster. (Same one I used to annihilate the
"played the ace" review that should have been attributed to Eugene
Field.)

rather odd collection of quotable quotes and 'Who said that?'s, has the
mot occurring in a letter of GBS's replying to a correspondent, name not

Kent, who worked with Monroe, called her 'grubby' and said:

"a personal bodyguard... of stalwart... and virile... young men."
The chips flew, but then suddenly ceased flying and the perspiring
