Welcome to IM’s weekly roundup of all that’s been going on in the Marilyn world this past week!
Last week the Marilyn world was gearing up for the exhibiting of the Happy Birthday Mr. President dress for the first time since 1999, when Christie’s exhibited it as part of the auction of Marilyn’s estate. The Whoopi Goldberg-curated exhibit at MANA New Jersey did in fact open its doors on Sunday, drawing Marilyn fans to see the famous dress. Special thanks to IM member Melissa Campo, who was present at the opening of the exhibit, for these shots of the dress and of Marilyn’s art on display.
The MANA exhibit continues through October 22nd.
You may have seen a new report making the rounds alleging that a new letter has been discovered proving an affair between Marliyn and RFK. Nothing like a salacious headline, but it isn’t true. There’s nothing new in that letter and nothing scandalous either – check out Marijane Gray’s comprehensive response here on ImmortalMarilyn.com. And do feel free to share whenever you see that story being spread!
Looking for new digs? A New York home formerly owned by Milton Greene has come up for rent; Marilyn was a frequent visitor here during the Marilyn Monroe Productions years. It can be yours (well, to rent anyway) for the low, low price of only $26,000 per month! Nice life if you can afford it! Maybe better to save the cash for the upcoming Julien’s auction, $26k could buy something nice.
That’s it for this week’s roundup…have a great week Marilyn fans!
