Whoopi Goldberg is the latest celebrity actor to add curator to her CV with an exhibition due to open next week on another star of the silver screen: Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn: Character Not Image (25 September-22 October) at the exhibition space Mana Contemporary in Jersey City, New Jersey, will feature works of art and poetry by the late legend, the dress she wore when singing her sultry “Happy Birthday” to John F. Kennedy and photographs of Monroe—some never before exhibited—by Milton Greene and Weegee. “The image of Marilyn Monroe the icon endures and strengthens as time goes by, but her personal life remains a mystery,” Goldberg said in a statement. “With this exhibition I wanted to show a glimpse of the woman behind the icon.”
