“There were seventeen thousand soldiers in front of me and they were all yelling at me at the top of their lungs. I stood smiling at them. It had started snowing. But I felt as warm as if I were standing in a bright sun… I’ve always been frightened by an audience - any audience. My stomach pounds, my head gets dizzy and I’m sure my voice has left me. But standing in the snowfall facing these yelling soldiers, I felt for the first time in my life no fear of anything. I felt only happy.” - Marilyn Monroe (speaking of her time performing for US troops in Korea in 1954)
