Quote:

“What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course”

- Marilyn Monroe, responding to a reporter’s question.

In a recently discovered audio interview with French magazine Marie Claire, which was never published at the time, she was recorded as saying about the above statement:

'You know, they ask me questions. Just an example: "What do you wear to bed? A pajama top? The bottoms of the pajamas? A nightgown?” So I said, “Chanel No.5," because it’s the truth. And yet, I don’t want to say “nude”. But it’s the truth!'
