"Hollywood didn't kill Marilyn Monroe, it's the Marilyn Monroes who are killing Hollywood"
- Billy Wilder
About this Quote
This quote by Billy Wilder is a commentary on the state of Hollywood and the movie market. He is suggesting that Hollywood is not accountable for the death of Marilyn Monroe, however rather it is the existing stars of Hollywood who are eliminating the market. He is suggesting that the current stars lack the charisma and talent of Monroe, and that they are unable to capture the public's attention in the very same way. He is likewise suggesting that Hollywood is not producing films of the very same quality as it once did, which the current stars are not able to bring the exact same level of entertainment to the screen. Wilder is recommending that Hollywood needs to look to the past for inspiration, and to bring back the stars of the past in order to restore the market.
