Caption this! 📸 Loving this photo of Marilyn Caption this! 📸 Loving this photo of Marilyn going through drawers during her George Barris photo shoot in 1962. The shoot took place at the home of George’s friend Mr. Tim Leimert. What could she have been looking for? #marilynmonroe
On this day in 1954…Marilyn marries Joe at San F On this day in 1954…Marilyn marries Joe at San Francisco City Hall. 💍 Flashback: IN HER SHOES Visiting SF City Hall with my lovely friend Marisa, standing in the same spot where Marilyn and Joe left the building after they were married. It’s exactly the same! “In her 👠!” #marilynmonroe
Flashback! One of my favorite “In Her Shoes” m Flashback! One of my favorite “In Her Shoes” moments from January, 2024. ____________ Wait for it! 💎 
I recently visited New York City for my series I call “In Her 👠!“ This is where I visit and photograph sites and locations where she lived and worked.   Marilyn lived in New York for several years, having first moved to the east coast at the very of 1954. In 1955 she launched Marilyn Monroe Productions, which was based in the city. She still had her apartment at 444 East 57th Street at the time of her death in 1962.   In this video, I’m standing in the lobby of Marilyn’s apartment building. On May 19th, 1962, the date of the now famous democratic fundraiser for President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden, members of the Monroe Six were waiting for Marilyn in her lobby. She emerged from the elevator wearing her now iconic Jean Luis designed gown. She was on her way to the fundraiser, where she would later sing “Happy Birthday” to the President. I always describe this night as THE moment in time when Hollywood and politics collided with a bang. Marilyn’s publicist and friend Pat Newcomb can be seen over Marilyn’s left shoulder.   Many elements of Marilyn’s lobby are the same today as they were when she lived there. The photograph of Monroe aligns nearly perfectly with my photo. 
The Monroe Six was a group of six “super fans” who took every chance they could to see Marilyn in person and take her photograph. Marilyn became close with them and got to know each of them by name.   Imagine being able to just hang out in Marilyn’s lobby, waiting for her to snap a photo and get an autograph. Fortunately, today, many of these locations still exist.   Follow me for many more photos and videos of Marilyn sites in New York!   #marilynmonroe
Many followers have been contacting me about an up Many followers have been contacting me about an update on the status of Marilyn Monroe’s Brentwood home. The area of her home on Fifth Helena Drive is under an evacuation warning, but not an evacuation order. It is still safe. Also, Marilyn’s final resting place is currently not at risk. The news indicates there are three days of Santa Ana winds in the forecast, which isn’t great for controlling wildfires. While the loss of Marilyn’s final home would certainly be devastating, let’s not lose sight of what’s most important now: The safety and wellbeing of everyone in the impacted areas and supporting those who have lost everything. Let’s all hold a good thought for every person and animal impacted by this horrible and frightening situation, and help where we can with donations to (verified) entities that are providing support. #marilynmonroe
Part of the Marilyn Monroe Collection… Marilyn Part of the Marilyn Monroe Collection… Marilyn Monroe’s Personal Erno Laszlo Face Cream. Trails from her fingers can be seen in the remaining product. Marilyn was photographed with this product. A jar of Erno Laszlo was on the floor next to her bed when she passed away. View the collection online at marilynmonroecollection.com. #marilynmonroe
Palisades Fire Update: For those unaware, the Pali Palisades Fire Update: For those unaware, the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles, which now encompasses nearly 3,000 acres, is adjacent to Marilyn Monroe’s final home in Brentwood. Evacuation orders and warnings are in effect for residents throughout many areas, (though not the area of Marilyn’s home). Many structures in the LA area have already been lost. Please hold a good thought for everyone already impacted by this horrible fire. Let’s hope it is contained soon.   #marilynmonroe #palisadesfire
“The Girl” was so smart! Her take on being wit “The Girl” was so smart! Her take on being with a married man. 😆 The Seven Year Itch, 1955 #marilynmonroe
In honor of last night’s @goldenglobes award cer In honor of last night’s @goldenglobes award ceremony, Marilyn at the golden Globes in 1960 and 1962. In 1960, she won the award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Motion Picture for Some Like it Hot. In 1962, she won the award for World Film Favorite Female. It’s always struck me how different she looked at these two events. She was lovely at both, no doubt, but clearly at different stages in her life. 1960 would be the year of her final completed film (The Misfits), released in 1961, which was also the year of the end of her marriage to Arthur Miller. She would be gone just five months after the 1962 ceremony. #marilynmonroe #goldenglobes
Up Close and Personal: Two premiere artifacts in t Up Close and Personal: Two premiere artifacts in the Marilyn Monroe Collection, the world’s largest privately held collection of Monroe’s personal property and archives: Marilyn’s personal Pucci blouse and Ferragamo high heels.   Both items were originally sold at the 1999 Christie’s Auction, “The Personal Property of Marilyn Monroe.” I added the blouse to my collection when it resold at auction in 2009. I bought the shoes from a private collector in 2022. Also shown, an original “Monroe Six” snapshot of Marilyn taken while in the back of her limousine wearing this blouse in May of 1962.   Pucci and Ferragamo were both staples of Marilyn’s wardrobe in the 1960s. Many people don’t know that Marilyn rehearsed her performance of “Happy Birthday Mr. President” prior to her now famous appearance at President Kennedy’s birthday gala on May 19, 1962. The rehearsal took place on the same stage at Madison Square Garden, and she wore this green Pucci blouse and a pair of white Ferragamo high heels, together with what appears to be a pair of white Jax pants and a white scarf when she rehearsed. The photos in this video show Marilyn during the rehearsal. Film footage shows her entering her New York apartment at 444 East 57th street on May 19th, then exiting the next day on her way to the airport to fly back to Los Angeles.   In this video, I show an original laundry tag that was attached to the inside of the left sleeve. It reads “Monroe” and “Wed” (for Wednesday), along with Marilyn’s account number at the cleaners. The tag can be seen in the photo of the blouse in the 1999 Christie’s catalog.   Pucci was a favorite fashion of Marilyn’s, and when there was a particular item of clothing she liked from this brand she bought it in multiple colors. She had this same blouse in hot pink and vibrant orange. As many fans know, Marilyn was buried in a green Pucci dress. It’s widely believed that green was her favorite color in the last months of her life. She even wrote in green ink.   By my count, she had over 40 pairs of Ferragamo heels at the time of her death. She wore them constantly, both in her films and her private life.    #marilynmonroe
