So here's some background information for ya....When people have a stutter, they sometimes find ways to avoid a stutter, which can consist of a multitude of ways....
anyway...
Marilyn Monroe had a stutter and the reason why she had that breathy vocal quality was because that helped her to not stutter!!!
Cool, huh?
and it's true too, no lie here! Professor Lofton would not tell a lie!

Yes, I knew that. You can find a list of famous people who stutter or have overcome their stuttering on the web site for The Stuttering Foundation at www.stutteringhelp.org. They also have a poster with 16 of them on it.

You can also teach yourself to speak slowly during a conversation. Fast talking does not help the person with this condition. It may take years for some and less time for others to learn this but it works. My neighbour told me she had it bad as a child growing up and taught herself not to speed talk no more and she is proud of herself that she was able to control this. I'm a fan of Marilyn Monroe. Told on my good days i look like her. But a slimmer one. Was not aware she had a stutter problem. Ok thats cool. Guess we learn something new everyday.
Take care.

I have the same birthday as Auntie Marilyn (June 1st). I never read she stuttered, what a magnificant way around that! Who was the country western singer who couldn't speak without stuttering, but sang smooth as a dream?

I did. And I also understand that James Earl Jones stuttered, Forrest Whittiker does...-& that it's SO common, it just goes to show it's no big deal!

I did not know that! That's really interesting because I was born on Marilyn's birthday, and studied about her life. It is very cool.

James Earl Jones also has a studder and he has the strongest voice in the world. So much for your theory.
