@morgfair hi Morgan. I’m currently writing a book on Joe DiMaggio. I found gorgeous pictures of yourself next to Joe at the ‘Night of a 100 stars’. Would you be inclined to share any memories related to Joe from that evening? You can DM or email me [email protected] :)
Joe deeply loved Marilyn. But he also loved his granddaughters, and friends, and baseball, and children, ... Joe existed outside of his ex-wife’s sudden heartbreaking death 36 years before his own. Life didn’t stop for Joe in 1962. Surely Marilyn wouldn’t have wished so.
Whether Joe spoke of embracing death in his last few weeks and Engelberg reshaped it for dramatic effect is a possibility. Nevertheless, this last words tale is a prime example of how Joe’s image has been twisted to fit tragedy.
When you can't even make the difference between fiction and reality and blame the audience for calling you out on it. Marilyn had class, unlike the long list of people who exploited her image. https://t.co/GIfNVrOUf9
Pictures of Marilyn and Emily in January 1955. They’re pictured in Boston, although Joe and Marilyn were divorced by then. Marilyn was in town to broker some financings for her production company project.
Emily DiMaggio was Marilyn’s sister in law, through her marriage to Dom DiMaggio. (Un)surprisingly she only had lovely things to say about her ✨
Imagine being 95 and having to call out the tr*sh still being written. Bless her 👏
This was pure cruelty for the sake of making Marilyn suffer. (I know I know ‘it’s in the book’ 🙄). Marilyn was truly loved and adored by DiMaggio’s family - this is just another way to rob her from any happiness she did *actually* have, as these pictures show :
And look *WHO* is dining at the DiMaggio restaurant in June 1968? Good ol’ Bobby Kennedy - Marilyn’s other alleged lover that Joe DiMaggio hated so much… guess he forgot to ban him 🤡
