She is still our favorite Valentine! Thank you to each person who helped make the beautiful flowers, the card, and the donation of $150 to Animal Haven of NYC in Marilyn’s honor possible.
Nowadays, two big stars wearing the same outfit is a major fashion faux pas, but back in Hollywood’s heyday it was common practice to recycle clothes so the studios could save a few bucks. While many of Marilyn’s dresses and costumes are considered to be style icons, she often wasn’t the first (or the last!) to wear them.
Every few years or so, the latest Hollywood ingenue will start making the rounds, and inevitably some entertainment reporter will start throwing around the phrase “the next Marilyn Monroe”. What remains unrealized is that there is no such thing. So many women have come and faded away, and yet Marilyn endures like no other will. She has a rare magic, a captive hold over the public, that will remain unparalleled.
Take a photo of Marilyn Monroe nearly anywhere in the world and she is instantly recognizable. Ask any stranger on the street who she is and they’ll know. Young and old, male and female, people spanning multiple generations know who Marilyn Monroe is and her fame spans decades, countries and cultures. Marilyn is one of the most well known and enduring stars of all time, yet her name evokes in the general public not much more than blonde hair, breathy voice singing Happy Birthday, and a skirt flying up over her knees.
This Christmas the holiday flowers for Marilyn were especially beautiful with assorted flowers in a deep red.Our last donation for the calendar year 2014 to Animal Haven in the amount of $405 was made, and thank you to all who made this possible!I’m proud to say Immortal Marilyn has given in total $1905 for the year of 2014 to Animal Haven. Marilyn would be so touched and honored to see how her fans pull together to give 4 times a year to a no-kill shelter such as Animal Haven, and remember her with flowers.

They both achieved greatness, had remarkable careers, and have attained longevity that most aspiring actors can’t even imagine. They are icons in their own right, so why do so many feel the need to pit them against one another? Despite seeming very different on the surface, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn have more in common than you might think.
Marilyn Monroe continues to inspire new generations of fans. However, thanks to the internet, that inspiration may not actually be from her. In the last few years it’s become fashionable to stick fabricated quotes on a photo of Marilyn. Here’s the most popular fake Marilyn quotes, and why they’re a problem.
A popular retail fashion site recently posted a blog detailing Marilyn Monroe’s past lovers. Unfortunately, it contained numerous factual errors that only serve to defame Marilyn.
