One of Marilyn Monroe's Bibles is now for sale at the Art & Artifact gallery in Los Angeles, CA (approx. 130 miles N of San Diego) as well as one of her rings and the only known photograph of Marilyn Monroe and President John F. Kennedy together - taken after she sang "Happy Birthday Mr. President" - perhaps the most well-known public performance of the song in history.
...
Today, June 1st happens to be Marilyn Monroe's birthday. She was born Norma Jean Mortensen in 1926, eighty four years ago, in Los Angeles, California. Coincidence? I think not. All very strategic planning for the many fans who could possibly be interested in owning any of these three fine collectibles.
Marilyn was said to be well read, her personal library consisting of "Works of Literature, Art, Drama, Biography, Poetry, Politics, History, Theology, Philosophy, and Psychology"

She just pretended to be a dumb blonde.
Nowadays, they don't pretend.

What a sad thing that she died when she did. Another reason I will never, ever go into the entertainment industry as an actress. No matter how nice of a person you might be, you are first and foremost a sex object.

Sad for her, but dying spectacularly is part of what made her an enduring sex symbol. Like JFK, she remains frozen at the height of her fame, and never became an aging embarrassment like Elizabeth Taylor or Ted Kennedy.
Would these people, if brought magically back to life, prefer the early death that made them legendary, or would they take the extra years?

Little note: Hugh Hefner bought the crypt next to hers shortly after her death. It has always been his plan to be interred next to her.

Indeed she was a very intelligent woman. The sex kitten/dumb blond was just her shtick and she was very good at it.

I’d take the extra years. She might have found a way to be happy as she aged and matured.

The sex kitten/dumb blond was just her shtick and she was very good at it. Same as Jayne Mansfield.

Just because the skank had those books in her library, there is no proof that she read them.
