“Marilyn was frightened, insecure – trusted only her coach and was always late […] And yet I couldn’t dislike Marilyn. She had no meanness in her – no bitchery. I had met her a few times before, and liked her.”- Lauren Bacall on Marilyn Monroe #lauren bacall#marilyn monroe#monroedit#old hollywood#vintage #golden age of hollywood #classic hollywood#1950s#icon#actress#celeb#outtakes#quotes#mine](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1e87d4dc61188580f973e1a4a6146baf/93c92db7d0d1f981-ee/s540x810/bb18ebddc809c62b8e77c9f087e387d85325149b.png)

August 8, 1962 | Marilyn Monroe’s funeral at Westwood Village Memorial Cemetery
At the Los Angeles funeral, DiMaggio was inconsolable, weeping uncontrollably, leaning over Monroe’s casket, kissing her on the lips and whispering: “I love you, I love you.”
“It was DiMaggio who fell the deepest and couldn’t recover. He was the one man who never tried to profit from her fame or steal even a little bit of her fire… His only song was silence.”
“I called him up and asked him why he had sent me the flowers. He said first of all because I thought you would call me to thank me and then he said, besides who in the hell else do you have in the world.”
- Marilyn Monroe on Joe DiMaggio in her letter to Ralph Greenson (March 1, 1961)
After Marilyn’s death, Joe also arranged for flowers to be put at her grave every week for more than twenty years.
