Los Angeles, Jan 17: Actress Megan Fox, who recently began the process of removing a tattoo of Marilyn Monroe from her arm, says the late actress' life was difficult to think of.

"I started reading about her and realised that her life was incredibly difficult. It's like when you visualise something for your future. I didn't want to visualise something so negative," contactmusic. com quoted the 26-year-old as saying.

Fox also compared Monroe to actress Lindsay Lohan.

"She wasn't powerful at the time. She was sort of like Lindsay (Lohan). She was an actress who wasn't reliable, who almost wasn't insurable ... She had all the potential in the world, and it was squandered," she said.(IANS)
