Is it better to be ridiculed or forgotten? Almost everyone is forgotten eventually. Even when they're turned into a marketing commodity, like Marilyn Monroe, the name lives on, but the person is forgotten. In Marilyn's case, the person never existed. Maybe that's why she killed herself, to complete the nonexistence. It isn't Marilyn who's remembered; it's the image of Marilyn that's loved.
Are you talking about Princess Diana? Go see "The Queen". Very good movie about the reactions within the royal family to the media circus over her death.
