“When I was really young, I think I was six years old, I found this book on my parents’ book shelf and it was these pictures, I hadn’t seen movies of her – and I got really mesmerised by this beautiful deep soul,” she told W. “And then I started to see the movies and listen to the records and I listened to her singing. And we never speak of how great a singer she was. She had an amazing voice. Everyone always talked about her beauty, her dramatic life. She had an amazing jazz voice. She was the one for me and she still is.”

The former ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress is a huge fan of the late blonde beauty as she just oozed beauty and sex appeal.

She said: ”Marilyn Monroe had that certain something. She never changed her look, and even after her death that blonde hair with the red lips is still glamorous and beautiful. But it’s also what she exuded – she was electrifying and you couldn’t wait to see what she did next and who she was with. She just had this essence about her that was beautiful.”
