I read in one book about Sinatra that when he and Marilyn first got together in 1954 it was just a platonic relationship since Frank was still in love with Ava Gardner (and he was for a very long time) and Marilyn was still in love with Joe. Not sure if it's true.

I don’t think Marilyn dated Frank Sinatra in 1954. She was with Joe at that time and they married in mid-January of 1954. Officially divorced later that year in October. Frank also went with Joe to try and catch Marilyn with another man - the famous “wrong door raid.” Marilyn and Frank did date briefly in the early 60’s but, surprisingly, we don’t know many details about their relationship. It seems they always remained friendly, though; even after their romantic relationship.

Do you know if Marilyn ever met Ava Gardner? They both dated (in Ava's casa married) Frank Sinatra and worked with a lot of the same people.

I only know of one time off the top of my head where they were at the same event, but I don’t know if they actually met and spoke. They both attended Sam Spiegel’s New Year’s Eve party in 1948. Marilyn was just a starlet at that time - not a huge star at all. I don’t know much about Ava Gardner, including when she became a huge celebrity, but I believe she was quite famous at the time. I have a feeling they wouldn’t have had much to discuss, but who knows?

I’ve seen at least two people steal your images and content on Instagram.

I’m sure I’ve seen it as well. It’s very irritating since I put time and effort into finding great images and then I will edit basically every single one. They just save the picture they find here and…that’s about it. But what can you do?

It seems strange that I hit exactly 37,000 followers on the anniversary of Marilyns passing.

Anyway, thank you so much! Every follower means a lot to me. It’s nice to see that number grow as I feel I put quite a lot of time and effort into my page. The fact that this many people enjoy my page enough to give a follow is very flattering.

Thank you! 💋

A beautiful human who left us much too soon. RIP, Marilyn.

I hope she somehow knows how loved she is ♥️

This is my favorite picture of Marilyn.

I became a fan of Marilyn’s around 2009. I didn’t know a thing about her other than she was super famous in the 50′s, sang about diamonds, and once wore a white dress that soared up from the wind below.

I wanted to find out why she was still so popular and relevant today, despite having passed away so long ago. I definitely found my answer - quite quickly too! But putting it into words has always been hard to me. It’s like there isn’t one perfect word to describe her and how much she fascinates me along with how much she means to me. I wish I could thank her somehow for just being who she was: a truly beautiful human, inside and out. Caring. Loving. Sensitive. Down to earth.

I think this page and my Instagram page are my way of saying “thank you” for the affect she has on me. I didn’t get to be one of the lucky people who met Marilyn, but I feel like I know her somehow. I feel I relate to her in many ways. 

She is, and will always be, greatly missed.

RIP Marilyn Monroe.
