"Marilyn & the Lawford's"
by Tara Hanks
Marilyn's Memorial Flowers!
A big thank you to Marilyn's wonderful fans for the successful
fund raiser in honor of Marilyn and Animal Haven.
$241 was raised for Animal Haven!
$616 so far for 2010 has been raised by Marilyn's fans and
given in honor of her love for animals.

We need only say her first name. The name "Marilyn" conjures up
magical and diverse images of her phenomenal presence.

Immortal Marilyn is built by contributions from a group of Marilyn
fans who have been working together already for years running the
largest Marilyn Monroe fan club in the world (of the same name).
Now our efforts are focused on this website. We are dedicated to
preserving and honoring the memory of Marilyn Monroe, her work,
and her life.

In visiting the pages at IM you will see who Marilyn Monroe really
was. Why the words  "Steel Magnolia", and  "Iron Butterfly" perfectly
describe her. Marilyn was indeed a strong woman, and a fragile soul.
Incredibly talented, complex, fascinating,
and ultimately, Immortal.

She's like a slightly bruised moonbeam, something fragile and funny
and imperiled. Audiences simply marveled at her existance, and the
delicious unlikeliness of her platinum innocence.
