YeezusChrist Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 She's an artist while the other 2 are actresses. What's the connection? Quote Link to comment
The Exhale Psychic Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I would not say she reminds me of marilyn but deffinitley Judy. the reason is both Britney and Judy were used. they were forced into the industry at a very young age. if you do not know about Judy then i would suggest looking it up. its very scarily simmilar to Britney 7 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Hooked-On-Knee Posted April 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2021 The reason with the Marilyn connection is because they're (likely) related (We don't know who Marilyn's father is, but if he's the man who he's speculated to be, then they are cousins) and looked a bit similar, particularly when they were teens. Both had brunette hair that was eventually dyed blonde for their career, one could argue, "Original Doll", would have been Britney's equivalent of Marilyn Monroe Productions with their struggle to break free from any creative constraints that came from working with their label/film company, both were generally assumed to have taken on a more breathier voice to make them seem as more of a "commercial" act, both had what have been reported as very, "lonely", childhoods, and their behaviour that arose from mental health struggles seem to have somewhat mirrored each other just going off by what has been said about Britney's creative process during Blackout and Marilyn's during her final few films. Also the whole thing about the true love thing. They both had the whole destined true love romance that ended in heartbreak (Marilyn with Joe DiMaggio, Britney with JT.) Both of Britney and Marilyn's marriages ended in divorce after short periods of time. 8 4 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post phareezy Posted April 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2021 It's not so much the area of entertainment, but the way they were/are treated. Judy and Marilyn were incredibly famous during their time and like Britney a lot of that was about *** appeal and youthful charm. Judy and Marilyn were also both victims of their fame, which thankfully, hasn't happened to Britney as tragically as it happened to those ladies, but one could argue the conservatorship and stripping of her freedom is up there and sort of a modern day equivalent. All 3 were put through the media wringer and pretty much left to dry. Judy and Marilyn never really got any vindication while alive, but Britney thankfully has in a way thanks to the NY Times doc which highlighted just how cruel the media was to her allowing people to realize Britney didn't deserve any of it and is truly an icon of our time. Those are the big comparisons people like to draw. All 3 were/are enormously famous and were elevated super high only to be torn down publicly when they dared to show cracks of being human beings. 14 Quote Link to comment
Brit52 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I'm not as familiar with Judy's story but the snippets I've heard tell me they endured similar levels of extortion Marilyn I'm a bit more familiar with and I think that Britney was the next Marilyn in terms of being an international s** symbol. Marilyn is iconic and always will be just as britney is 4 Quote Link to comment
colormefresh Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 She’s Marilyn without having to do Playboy and change her name and her entire face/body to be Britney Spears. Plus she has talent. Plus she has a personality. Plus her body is snatched. Plus plus plus. I’m glad that history will show that Kim K is Marilyn’s cheap knockoff. Britney is up there with Micheal Jackson. Never heard anyone compare Brit to Judith Garland lmao. 8 Quote Link to comment
Cherry Delilah Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 All three are very iconic women, perhaps the most iconic female entertainers of their respective times, and were unjustly harassed and ***ualised by the media. It's a compliment for Britney though, she's up there with the biggest icons 6 Quote Link to comment

Also just about Judy, this is unrelated but Judy was an actress-singer at the same time and ended up just doing music in her final days. I've heard people around her claim she would have much rather have just done music as opposed to being a move star. Quote Link to comment
warioaddams Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 If you watched the Judy movie you can see that she struggled to do her show due to medication just as Britney did and her children were taken away by her father similiar to what Britney. As for Marilyn both were iconic and **** and they were painted as untalented. 8 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Look But Don't Touch Posted April 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2021 Because of HUGE charisma, beauty, talent and tragedy of both of them Weren't they both put in mental facilities against their will? 11 1 Quote Link to comment
I'mNotTheAverageLady Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 It might be silly, but I actually think Britney is a reincarnation of (I wanted to say Marilyn, but there are so many similarites with Judy also, so...) one of them, I go with Marilyn, because there are so many parallels, starting with the looks. I think Marilyn's off screen personality, her way of speaking in interviews, laugh, love for children, open s**uality, 'dumb blonde' type-cast, public scrutiny, controversies, controlled artistic freedom, love for singing, acting, dancing are so like Britney's. Like watching the same person in different eras, sort of 5 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes, Marylin was. It's always the same tragedy. As soon as a lot of money is involved, some people tend to overpower their boundaries. I hope next generation of pop stars will learn from Britneys situation. 2 minutes ago, I'mNotTheAverageLady said: It might be silly, but I actually think Britney is a reincarnation of (I wanted to say Marilyn, but there are so many similarites with Judy also, so...) one of them, I go with Marilyn, because there are so many parallels, starting with the looks.

I remember sometime ago a respected psychic saying Marilyn had already reincarnated and thinking of Britney right away. But yeah she has a LOT of similarities to both Judy and Marilyn. 5 Quote Link to comment
Crabo Lavender Turmeric Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Well, in her youth Judy actually kinda looked like Britney too. 1. Both had stage parents 2. Both entered showbusiness at a young age and lacked a normal childhood 3. Both became massive stars in their teens. 4. Both had great deep voices (We know the situation with Brit's voice, but Garland was seen as an exceptional singer; she was an actress which was the greatest thing to be maybe till the 60s - mainly starred at musical films) 5. Both were excellent dancers 6. Both had an innocent image 7. Both worked more very very hard. 8. Both had a breakdown in their mid 20s 9. Both had no access to their money (Judy had much of her money stolen + there was a tax mess; Britney's money are also being stolen in a way) 10. Substances ? Judy had drug issues during most of their life (some sources say that the movie studio prescribed Judy the drugs while others say that it was actually her mother who started that; but it is certain her drugs were always prescribed by doctors - uppers and sleeping pills); Spears is also no stranger to drugs/meds allegedly, but fortunately her situation is not like Judy's 11. Both had some terrible men in their lives I really hope Britney's is a happy one 9 Quote Link to comment

She also had that magic on screen/it factor. There was a creative control issue in old Hollywood too.. the same issue that has affected Spears as a singer-songwriter. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Super Mods Puppy Posted May 23, 2021 Super Mods Share Posted May 23, 2021 Marilyn had always wanted to be a mother so glad Britney got her chance at having kids. I can see the similarities. Seems Hollywood likes to prey on broken people so let’s hope Freebritney forces Hollywood to change 5 2 Quote Link to comment
