Today in history.....

1926-1962

“Hollywood is a place,” Marilyn Monroe once said, “where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul."

45 years ago today, in Brentwood, California Marilyn Monroe was found dead by her housekeeper. She was 36 years old.

I've always, like many people, had a facination with Marilyn Monroe. I've visited the home she lived in when she died (only up to the front gate!), and her gravesite multiple times. She was such a beautiful woman who died long before her time. Her life was full of tragedy, and triumph. She was someone who was almost as, if not more, famous after her death than she was while she was living.

Rest In Peace, Norma Jean!!!
