As for aliki - if you were to stand in the middle of rome and say the name sophia loren, or paris and say the name catherine deneuve or brigitte bardot, or l.a. and the name marilyn monroe, it's like standing in athens, or anywhere in wide-flung greece, and saying aliki vougiouklaki. a huge star - and so little known elsewhere in the world.

More From Ali Smith

I admire so many women, it's hard to choose, but i've always loved marilyn monroe, brigitte bardot, and mia farrow.
Mia Admire Hard
Every time i look down on this timeless town whether blue or gray be her skies. whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears, more and more do i realize: i love paris in the springtime. i love paris in the fall. i love paris in the winter when it drizzles, i love paris in the summer when it sizzles. i love paris every moment, every moment of the year. i love paris, why, oh why do i love paris? because my love is near.
Summer Cheer Fall
I wrote a novel called "blonde," which is about norma jean baker, who becomes marilyn monroe, which i called a fictitious biography. that uses the material as if it were myth - that marilyn monroe is like this mythical figure in our culture.
Blonde Bakers Culture
I owe marilyn monroe a real debt … she personally called the owner of the mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. she told him – and it was true, due to marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild. the owner said yes, and marilyn was there, front table, every night. the press went overboard. after that, i never had to play a small jazz club again. she was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. and she didn’t know it.
Real Night Play
My style icons would be people like brigitte bardot and old hollywood actresses who always look so stunning, cool and chic. i like classic and timeless looks.

Yes, i've kissed a lot of guys. i like to kiss, but that's it. i don't go home with anyone. i sleep with my animals, like my baby monkey, brigitte bardot.
