Marilyn Monroe’s movie career spanned only about 16 years but she made an indelible impression on pop culture still felt today and a worldwide celebration is marking what would have been her 100th birthday. The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures opened a new exhibition “Marilyn Monroe: Hollywood Icon” featuring some of her on-screen costumes, photographs, and personal items. Meanwhile in Palm Springs, fans shattered the world record for the largest gathering of Marilyn lookalikes. NBC’s Joe Fryer reports for TODAY.
Nancy Sinatra: Holding a good thought for my forever idol, Marilyn Monroe, on the 100th anniversary of her birth. Long before “girl power” had a name, Marilyn showed the world what it looked like: confident, vulnerable, funny, determined, and completely unforgettable. She was far more than a beautiful face. She was a gifted actor, a cultural phenomenon, and a woman who worked incredibly hard to be taken seriously in a world that so often refused to see beyond the image. A century after her birth, new generations are still discovering the magic that made her unlike anyone else before or since. There will never be another Marilyn. Her films, her timeless spirit, and the fascination she inspires continue to endure. Thank you, Marilyn, for showing us that strength and vulnerability are not mutually exclusive, for inspiring generations to embrace their power and individuality, and to never stop believing in themselves.

New Book from Whatfinger’s Own: “Time’s Orphans” – A Must-Read for Every Patriot
Folks, if you’ve been with Whatfinger from the beginning — back when we were calling out the lies, fighting the woke mind virus, and standing up for truth while the mainstream media sold their souls — then I’ve got something special for you.
“Time’s Orphans” – Book 1 of the Medieval Future Series — written by our own Michael Anthony — just dropped on Amazon.
This isn’t some generic sci-fi novel. This is our story.
- Whatfinger crew members (Beth, Ben, Pat, and others) are on Elon Musk’s first Ark, carrying humanity’s last hope across the stars.
- Elon himself is in it — the man who actually built the damn thing.
- Trump gets the respect he deserves as the leader who fought for America when it mattered most.
- The crew makes the hard calls patriots understand: protecting the future, rejecting the lies of Big Pharma, and refusing to let the next generation be destroyed by the same evil we watched unfold on Earth.
The immortals on the Ark vote to hide the truth about resets so their children will actually have families and build something worth fighting for. They carry the weight of that decision across centuries… only to reach a new world full of dragons, ancient secrets, and the same old human struggles between freedom and tyranny.
It’s packed with everything we stand for:
- Unapologetic truth-telling
- Love of real America
- Rage against the machine that lied to us about the vax and everything else
- Hope that humanity can still build something great even after the fall
If you’ve ever wanted to see a story where the good guys are the ones who backed Trump, backed Musk, backed free speech, backed real science over corporate lies, and refused to bow to the globalist reset — this book is for you.
Time’s Orphans is the beginning of something big. A series that blends hard sci-fi with epic future history, written by one of our own.

Leave a review if you love it. Share it with your friends. Let’s push this one up the charts and show the establishment that real Americans are still creating, still fighting, and still dreaming big.
The fight continues — even among the stars.

Book II goes serious Game of Thrones style with even more politics, America love…. Surely will be destroyed by the Left in comments/reviews once we advertise the books. – Mike – CLICK HERE for Shadows Of The Ark
