Marilyn Monroe from Mercedes King's 'A Dream Called Marilyn'

We’re thrilled to be talking to Marilyn Monroe from Mercedes King’s, A Dream Called Marilyn . It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Marilyn.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? I’m 36 and I’m an actress. Maybe you’ve seen some of my movies, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Seven Year Itch, Some Like it Hot, The Misfits ? I’ve been in movies for a while now, and there are times when it’s a struggle. Most people tell me I’m wonderful, but I’d like to try more challenging roles. What would I hate the most about you? I have heard people say such things about me. They complain that I’m late or hassled, that I don’t know my lines when I’m on the set. That’s not always true. I’m not perfect, of course, but I work with Paula (my acting coach) so I can be a better actress. People also say I drink too much and take too many pills. To be honest, I’m not taking any pills at the moment. I ju...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Jesse Tieter, M.D. from Paul Flower’s The Redeeming Power of Brain Surgery . It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Jesse. Can you tell us your story? Look, I’m a pretty busy right now. I’d rather not, to be honest. Really. So, okay, fine. Whatever. Here’s the short version. I’m a brain surgeon in Chicago, where I run one of the top practices of its kind in the country. My wife and I have a beautiful young son and the house of our dreams in Evanston. We’ve just finished a new vacation home in southwest Michigan, in my hometown. Something pretty, well, awful happened in that town when my twin brother and I were kids and, frankly, I’d just as soon not talk to you about it. It’s been worrying me a lot lately. But it’s my problem and I have to handle it. And frankly, it’s nobody’s business but ours. I shouldn’t even have told you that much. But you asked. Can you tell us about one of ...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Jamie from Russ Colchamiro’s sci-fi comedy Genius de Milo , the sequel to Finders Keepers .  It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character! Q: Thank you for your interview, Jamie.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? A: The age thing is a little tricky, but by Earth standards I’m about 27 years old, give or take. As for how I pay my rent … I’m a clerk at the check-in desk at The Rubicon , a new five-star hotel in Eternity. It has this crazy rain forest theme, with birds, and flowers, and waterfalls right in the lobby! We get lots of celebrities and powerful executives who stay there, most of them involved in the galaxy design, construction, and maintenance industry in one way or another. The Rubicon is owned by Brigsby, who has this famous talk show Breakfast with Brigsby . Everybody watches it. He also launched B , a lifestyle magazine, and now he’s a hotelier. He lives in the pen...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Steve Janson from Doug Cudmore’s Super Steve.  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Steve. Can you tell us your story? I guess. Alright. But just between you and me. Remember a couple weeks ago, there was that story about some guy being shot at the Sav-N-Lo, but they couldn’t find the body? You remember that? It was online. I’ll Google it for you. Wait … here it is. Anyhow, that was me. Yes, I was shot. Seriously. It gets weirder. Yes, it does. See, the reason they couldn’t find me was, well, there was this doctor there who saved my life. In the back of his van. I don’t know, I can’t tell you the science, he got the bullets out and left me in the park. Yes, the naked guy in the park the neighbours are talking about. That was me, too. It gets worse. So, to save my life, this doctor also shot me up with some purple serum. Healed me in seconds. It also … well, it did some other...
