On August 5th each year a memorial service is held at Westwood Memorial Cemetery 1218 Glendon Avenue, Westwood California, in rememberance of Marilyn Monroe, who is buried there. People from all around the world come to pay their respects to her memory. These people include not only fans, historians, and the press, but also people who knew Marilyn personally as friends and co-workers. The marble on Marilyn's crypt is very worn and dirty from so many 1000's of people touching it over the years. Looks like people have even carved out chips of the stone to take as souvenirs. All the other crypts around it are clean and unscratched so the contrast makes it really stand out. There's talk about restoring it soon. In a way though, I think it's condition is a testimony to MM's popularity. Still, Marilyn deserves the best!!!

I really need to get new frames for all of my Marilyn pictures.....

I watched The Seven Year Itch AGAIN.....the dress blowing around her is so classic!!!!!

I wanna be loved by you

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
but diamonds are a girl's best friend.

She comes out of the dressing room Norma Jeane. When she stepped in front of the camera, she was Marilyn.

Marilyn's need to be desired was so great that she could make love to a camera. Because of this, her lust aroused lust in audiences, sometimes even among women. There was nothing subtle about it. She was no tease. She was prepared, and even eager, to give what she offered.
William Manchester

I took her as a serious actress before I ever met her. I think she's an a great comedienne,
but I also think that she might turn into the greatest tragic actress that can be imagined.

This is a little kid who wants to be with the other little kids sucking lollipops and watching the rollercoaster, but she can't because they won't let her.
She's frightened to death of that public which thinks she is so sexy. My God, if they only knew.

I got a cold chill. This girl had something I hadn't seen since silent pictures.
She had a kind of fantastic beauty like Gloria Swanson, when a movie star had to look beautiful, and she got sex on a piece of film like Jean Harlow.

Also in that apartment she had a large, nude, black metal statue by William Zorach.The year of her death, she purchased three paintings from the Byrna Art Gallery in Mexico City for her Brentwood home.

Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow, Ginger Rogers, Marie Dressler, Joan Crawford and Olivia de Havilland were Marilyns favorite actresses. But Jean Harlow was the one she favorited the most. Jean Harlows life was like a blueprint of Marilyns life.They were both raised as christian scientists, they had complicated relations with their mothers, they married their first husbands at age 16 and dropped out of highschool to do so, both married 3 times, posed nude, wore no underwear and very revealing clothes, they were the most popular blonde bombshells of their time, and their last films before they died were co-starring Clark Gable.
