MARILYN’S BIRTHDAY FLOWERS

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Because of your generosity, we were able to raise OVER $1000 for Marilyn’s birthday fundraiser! Thank you to EVERYONE who donated money for Marilyn’s birthday flowers on behalf of Marilyn Remembered. This beautiful spray is from Parisian Florist, the same company Joe DiMaggio used to have roses delivered to Marilyn’s grave every week for over 20 years. Below is a snapshot of our birthday card for Marilyn, listing everyone who contributed money for this cause.
Extra proceeds from our fundraiser for flowers for Marilyn will be used to buy toys this Christmas for at-risk youth currently participating in programs at Camp Hollygrove/Uplift Family Services. Kathleen, our contact at Hollygrove, has let us know that the toys Hollygrove provides to their students are often the only toys the children will receive at Christmas. Your contributions truly matter. We will follow-up with everyone as we draw closer to the holiday season when we’ll be buying toys for Hollygrove’s children.



Happy Birthday Marilyn from your longest running fan club in existence today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARILYN

June 1st 1926 a legend was born.

June 1st 2018 would have been Marilyn Monroe’s 92nd birthday, it is hard to imagine what Marilyn would look like at 92, or indeed how her life and career would have progressed as the years went on.  We will never know, we can only speculate.  What is unquestionable though however, is the love and devotion her legions of fans around the world still have for her to this very day.  To them and us, she will always be Marilyn, young and beautiful and frozen in time at 36.  An inspiration to millions.

June 1st is a day for celebration and joy and “Marilyn Remembered” fan club members took to Facebook to share their love for this incredible woman:

I will be having steak and salad for dinner soon as it’s 9 pm. here in Finland. Overall, it’s been a great day. I needed a new Marilyn boost and I think I’ve got it now.

REMEMBERING HOWARD HAWKS

Remembering director Howard Hawks, born on this day in 1896. Hawks directed Marilyn in “Monkey Business” and “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” He also directed such classics as “Bringing Up Baby,” “His Girl Friday,” “To Have and Have Not” and “Red River.”

Speaking of Marilyn, Hawks once said:
“She was the most frightened little girl who had no confidence in her ability. There wasn’t a real thing about her. Everything was completely unreal.”



On the set of “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.”  L-R Howard Hawks, Jane Russell, George Winslow and Marilyn Monroe.
