The time is nearing for the 54th anniversary of Marilyn’s passing. IM will begin taking donations for her Memorial Flowers now. If you are want to be a part of our special tradition here at IM to show your love for Marilyn together with your fellow fans/friends, this is it. Please read this carefully for details.
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?
We all have our reasons for being in awe of Marilyn. Her beauty, her style, her work, her mind. But here are thirty reasons to love Marilyn Monroe, according to Laura. If you have any more to add please do in the comments!

Forget everything you’ve heard about the ”affair” between one of America’s most beloved Presidents and America’s most iconic sex symbol. The most scandalous thing about them….is that there may not be a scandal at all.
Immortal Marilyn is pleased to announce that we are now a sister site of Marilyn Remembered.
Along with Immortal Marilyn, the Marilyn Remembered Fan Club ensures that they promote Marilyn in the most honest light possible – keeping the lies at bay and searching for honesty, integrity and most of all facts regarding our dear Marilyn.
You’d be hard pressed to think of another celebrity endorser that’s been advertising products as long as Marilyn Monroe. From her first advertisements in the mid-1940s to almost 55 years after her death, companies know that using Marilyn’s image is a sure sell. From beauty products to her recent Snickers commercial, Marilyn is still loved by Madison Avenue.
If you’re in or around London from now until 27 February 2016 why not pop along to The Little Black Gallery in Chelsea to view some beautiful pieces of our girl, Marilyn.
Hello all of Marilyn’s fans,

We see photos everywhere of Marilyn Monroe… Which aren’t exactly Marilyn Monroe.
It’s such a common thing nowadays for people to manipulate images of stars but we at Immortal Marilyn think it’s wrong, disrespectful and plain silly. Why take the face of one of the biggest Hollywood icons in the world and a morph it onto someone else’s body (and sometimes even her own!)?
