Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I am a Paul Kinsey, extremely self-satisfied because this proves that my subversive ideas were way ahead of their time.
Heh…I came out almost completely even, so I’m either confused, Uma Thurman, or perhaps Audrey Meadows. I’ll take Audrey Meadows for $50…
If anyone tests out as Anne Bancroft, give me a call.
Jackie by day. Marilyn by night.
I’m Jack Kennedy — I have both of them.
The quiz says Marilyn, but my horse says Jackie; she was a terrific horsewoman (unlike our Betty!).
I just took the test, and I”m a Marilyn, but it was only off by one! So I guess I’m both.
I have Marilyn’s figure, sense of humor and insecurities but I would give my eyeteeth for Jackie’s wardrobe.
Gertrude Stein.
The quiz shows Jackie winning by one point. I do think that I’m more Jackie than Marilyn, but both are present.
Jackie. If I could dress like her and be like her every single day of my life, I would.
I’m Irene Dunne.
Eve Arden.
Jackie
Oh, count me in! This book looks amazing! I think I am definitely a Jackie. I love that tailored timeless look she has, and am much more lowkey than a Marilyn. Also, Betty’s season 2 riding look that is so Jackie? I LOVE it, and it is so in style this season….
Jackie
Jackie, darlings!
Took the quiz and was very surprised to learn that I’m a Marilyn!
I’m a Jackie.
I’m a Jackie!
Surprisingly, Marilyn–by far!!
Jackie.
Quiz says I’m a Jackie, but I’m really a Peggy.
Jackie, but by a VERY small margin! (I’d rather be Rosalind Russell than either Jackie or Marilyn, though!).
I would like to be a Jackie. But of course, I’m more like a Zelda Gilroy.
Most of the quiz answers for me were “none of the above”
I looked at the quiz, but couldn’t answer any of the questions.
Should my number be selected, I defer to a more suitable candidate.
The quiz says I’m Marilyn. Style wise, though, I would guess I’m more Gertrude Stein, lol.
Jackie!!!
Marilyn, darling. Manolos and champagne sans underwear all the way! ^^
Can I be a Philip Roth? Angsty, Jewish, literate & from NJ…
Based solely on body type, I am a Marilyn, but I see myself as more a Peggy/Jacqueline Susann.
Marilyn!
The quiz says I’m Jackie, I guess it right, I couldn’t be a Marilyn, I wear Christian Louboutins
. I don’t mind having a curvy, Marilyn like body, just as long as I can have the Chanel, the Dior, the big sunglasses, the Gucci bag…the classic and timeless.
I’m probably more Jackie than Marilyn, but honestly, most days I’m channeling my inner Agnes Morehead.
Jackie!
Humphrey Bogart
Jackie, but only by two questions.
Jackie
Jackie, just by one!
Apparently I’m a Marilyn – news to me! I would have thought my childhood in DC and my Seven Sisters pedigree makes me a shoo-in for Jackie …
I only answered one question as Jackie, so I guess I’m MM… though I’d like to think of myself more as a Jackie. Oh well.
Marilyn!
Jackie, Jackie, Jackie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was so amazing. Who wouldn’t want to be her?
Oh My. Liz Z & others, calm down:). Who wouldn’t want to have had that pretty awful life? Me. Her childhood was hideous (not as bad as MM’s but still).
Um, let’s see – it’s about 1/2 & 1/2 but I’m not Uma. So I say, uh, I’d rather be…Myrna Loy.
Cheers.
Jackie!
Sally Draper
Jackie by day, Marilyn by night…(or at least I would like to think I am)
According to the quiz, I am equal parts Marilyn and Jackie, which pretty much confirms my suspicion that I am neither.
Hello, Jack, it’s Frank.
Sinatra, Chicky-Baby.
I am Oleg Cassini.
Marilyn definitely.
Total Marilyn! I think it’s because I love drinking & men so much!
I was a Marilyn but converted to Jackie.
I’m a Marilyn. I’ve got the uh, natural equipment, if you know what I mean. When I visited Los Angeles, I went to Grauman’s Chinese Theater like everyone else, to look at the stars’ hand and footprints. I discovered that my hand fits Marilyn’s handprint perfectly.
A Marilyn….with a touch of Kate Hepburn and Roz Russell
Jackie! With a dash of Marilyn thrown in.
Megan Drapper
The quiz says I’m overwhelmingly a Marilyn, but really she’s more of a Sarah (borrowing crudely and in jest from Harry Crane on that one). : )
Marilyn. By more than I wish.
You know how some people remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard that Kennedy was shot? I remember the day Marilyn was found like it was yesterday. My little girl self was in our car with radio on waiting for mom to bring the beach hamper out for a day at Ocean City. The radio news announcer noted that Marilyn had been found dead and I sat there shocked and crying when mom finally made it to the car. The screen Marilyn was so beautiful and sweet and I couldn’t believe something like that could have happened.
I’m a Lena. Horne, that is.
I’m Marilyn! & I’m Norma Jean!
I grew up in the country, on a farm. I had nothing but big dreams to lead me away from the simple life! To become a Marilyn!!!!
I’m still figuring out who I am, but my mom (who I would give this book to for Xmas) is a Jackie with the soul of a Marilyn. Her name is Jacqueline Lee (just like one Jacqueline Lee Bouvier), but she has always declared that her “soul is blonde,” and continues to keep her hair a lovely sunny hue well into her 60s.
Hands down, Marilyn.
Ty Power, is that good thing?
according to the quiz, I’m a Jackie… and I’m a little surprised.
Jackie by 1 point (but answered some questions none of the above). However, I think I’m more of a Katharine Hepburn or possibly Sissy Spacek.
