For the 44th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death, LA Observed contributor Deanne Stillman imagines a first rendezvous between the ultimate California girl and the Kennedy men.
Jack arrived first. Marilyn was at her most vulnerable, with marriages to Arthur Miller and Joe DiMaggio having recently failed. To the world, she was the beautiful ex-wife of famous men. To herself, she was Norma Jean, the name her mother had given her, a little girl who never knew her father...
“Who is it?” came the breathless call.
“It’s, uh, me…the, uh, President,” replied the President in his distinctive patter.
The whole post is at Native Intelligence, along with Denise Hamilton's blog report on seeing Culture Clash present "Water and Power" at the Mark Taper Forum and what it's like at David Rensin's house when he reads the morning paper. It isn't pretty.
