HAPPY BIRTHDAY NORMA JEAN

Someone said it's Marilyn Monroe's birthday, or the anniversary of her birth, today. The impact she had was so universal and lasting I'm sure it surprised many who survived her. At any rate, here's just one minute of her responding to the press on returning to Hollywood after being away for awhile in the mid-1950s, and as uneven as the sound is, and the quality of the print, the power of her charisma still transcends time and medium to charm the heart once again. At least mine.

Do you still have that telescope thing with pictures of Marilyn Monroe? As I remember you were a hit on the Altar boy, Rye Beach outing.
