A polite reminder before reading this blog entry of mine š I will not tolerate any insults or negativity towards my subject or any of her films in this post. This blog entry is strictly for dyed-in-the-wool Marilyn Monroe fans like myself or fans in general. Any negative comments will be deleted. So once again, please be kind š
Even though it actually falls on January 29th, I would like to wish Marilyn Monroe impersonator Suzie Kennedy a very happy 48th birthday. The reason for me doing it so early is because on January 28th, I will be taking part in a blog-a-thon regarding Italian cinema (read here). Back to Kennedy though š As many of my dear readers are aware, I am a huge fan of Classical Hollywood era icon Marilyn Monroe (read here and here). In fact, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes ranks as my 8th favorite American/English-Language film of all time (read here and here). Well, this blog entry is dedicated to who I consider to be one of the greatest Marilyn Monroe impersonators of all time. Her name is Suzie Kennedy. She may be more familiar to UK audiences then American ones because the English entertainer lives in the former, though she reportedly holds both British and American citizenship (read here). As a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, Kennedy captures her mannerisms to a t and also understands that the icon was more than just a sex symbol. For her and dyed-in-the-wool fans like myself, Monroe was also smart and compassionate. Not unlike other Marilyn Monroe impersonators, Kennedy is immensely talented. She also played her in a play about Marilyn’s life entitled Making Marilyn, which premiered on the stage last year in the UK (read here).

I read about her performing in the play in Brighton. If I still lived in london I might have gone to see that, but it is too far from Norfolk to make it practical. I also watched a video of her sing DAAGBF, and she is very good.
Best wishes, Pete.
Interesting Pete š I would have loved to have seen her perform as well because Kennedy understands everything about what made Marilyn Monroe so iconic. In addition, she goes beyond her iconic status and is interested in who she was as a person. I also agree with you that her rendition of Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend is phenomenal š Like Monroe herself, Suzie Kennedy is truly a national treasure š
Where have I been?! I’ve never heard of Ms. Kennedy. She’s amazing! I saw the clip of her doing Diamonds and some of the interview, so I saw her face close up. Holy cow, she’s almost a dead ringer, isn’t she? I think Marilyn would be pretty impressed herself. I’d be amazed if I came back to life and found people impersonating me, lol. But maybe people like Marilyn and Elvis would just take it in stride… š
I agree with you completely Stacy š You could tell the audience was having a great time too with Mrs. Kennedy regarding her rendition of Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend š Also yes, Mrs. Kennedy is a dead ringer for Marilyn Monroe as you so eloquently state š Stacy really does understand everything about Monroe not only as an icon, but as a person š
