The flowers are so beautiful aren’t they? We are overjoyed to have raised $315 for Animal Haven. Immortal Marilyn thanks each of you who helped make these flowers for her possible from the bottom of our hearts. You choose them and they could not be prettier!

Marilyn Remembered held a wonderful and touching memorial service for Marilyn celebrating her life and career. It was also lovely to see all of the Immortal Marilyn Facebook group and Marilyn fans offer tributes to Marilyn. She is looking down on you all and smiling at all the love you give her.

A big thank you to our LA Rep, for getting the photos for us. Also, thank you to Ashlee for the creating the beautiful card.

Thank you all who support IM, care about IM, and made this possible for the one woman we all love and honor.

The Truth Behind Marilyn & Ella Fitzgerald

RACE RELATIONS

August 1972 article in MS magazine: “I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt. It was because of her that I played the Mocambo, a very popular nightclub in the ’50s. She personally called the owner of the Mocambo (who had refused to book Fitzgerald because she was black), and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him – and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard… After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it.” – Ella Fitzgerald

This is a common story that has been floating around for quite some time. A talented performer denied because of her skin color. Tragic? Yes. Did it happen? Absolutely. At The Mocambo? No. Huh?
