Marilyn Monroe was 25 years old when she met Joe DiMaggio in 1952. Joe, 12 years her senior, had just retired from the New York Yankees.

They were married in January 1954, and although they divorced 9 months later, they remained friends for the rest of her life.

When Marilyn was hospitalized in February 1961 for a nervous breakdown, it was Joe she called to help get her out. He went to the hospital and demanded she be released.

Joe was at her side when she woke up from emergency gall bladder removal surgery.

When Marilyn was found dead on August 5, 1962, it was DiMaggio who planned her funeral, bending over her casket, kissing her, repeating “I love you, I love you.”

DiMaggio barred the Kennedy family from attending, as well as most of Hollywood, saying, “Tell them if it wasn’t for them, she’d still be here.”

Joe refused to talk about her publicly or otherwise exploit their relationship, and in the rare moments when he did speak to reporters, he was unable to hold back tears. He never married again. For 20 years after her death, DiMaggio sent roses to Monroe’s grave.

Joe told his friend, Dr. Positano, “I always knew who killed her, but I didn’t want to start a revolution in this country. She told me someone would do her in, but I kept quiet”

“They did in my poor Marilyn. She didn’t know what hit her.’ ”

“‘I’ll go to the grave regretting and blaming myself for what happened to her,’” DiMaggio told Positano, per the book.

When he Joe was terminally ill he said to Dr. Positamo, “I don’t feel bad about dying. At least I’ll be with Marilyn again.”

Excerpts are from the book, “Dinner with DiMaggio” by Dr. Positano. His book recounts what he learned over the course of his ten-year friendship with Joe.

“I welcome my birthdays. Relish them, as a matter of fact. I have confidence now and can look forward to trying new things. I don't think fifty was a crucial age. Forty was, and thirty-nine because I was facing forty. But lately everything has fallen into place”—Rock Hudson. Born this day, November 17, 1925 – October 2, 1985.

Rock Hudson was the heartthrob of the Hollywood Golden Age. His career lasted more than four decades, with nearly 70 films and several television productions in total.

Before he was an actor, he worked as a truck driver, postman and vacuum cleaner salesman. He must have sold a lot of vacuums. Imagine seeing him at your front door?

Happy 92nd Birthday to Kim Novak! Born this day, February 13, 1933 in Chicago, Illinois named, Marilyn Pauline Novak.

Kim began her film career in 1954 and is famous for her performance in Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller Vertigo (1958), which is recognized as one of the greatest films ever made.

Kim Novak withdrew from acting by 1966 and has only sporadically worked in films since. Kim found peace living and painting on the Oregon coast, surrounded by her beloved horses.

“Before I leave this world, I would like you to see into my art, and into my soul…from my perspective. Since childhood I have looked at life through the magnifying lens of a very vivid imagination. I enjoy dissected insights, painting visions, and often turning words into verse, my rhyming words into a kind of ‘treasure hunt.’ My greatest desire has always been to touch your emotions like you have touched mine… with all the colors of a rainbow.”

Some of her films are, Picnic (1955), The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), and Pal Joey (1957). Other notable films include Bell, Book and Candle (1958), Strangers When We Meet (1960), and Of Human Bo***ge (1964).

Last photo is one of Kim’s beautiful paintings.

Veronica Lake. Born this day as, Constance Frances Marie Ockelman. (November 14, 1922 – July 7, 1973)

How Veronica described her name:
“Arthur Hornblow Jr., who was the producer of my first picture, said, "I sat up all one night till about six o'clock this morning." And he said, "Suddenly it dawned on me. 'Veronica' expresses the classic features, and the 'Lake' is the coolness one feels when they look into your eyes." And that's how I got the name”

Did you know that Veronica was an accomplished aviatrix, she took up flying in 1946, received her pilot’s license, and flew her small plane from Los Angeles to New York in 1948.

In 1954, for publicity purposes Rita Moreno was asked to visit Marlon Brando on the set of his new film Désirée. (Photos 1, 2)

Rita said in her autobiography, ‘Just meeting him that first day sent my body temperature skyrocketing as though I had been dropped into a very hot bath, and I went into a full-body blush. It was the sort of rush that inspires poetry and songs.’

His inability to be faithful created an on-again, off- again relationship with Rita. This lasted eight years and during this time Marlon married two other women and had children with them.
Marlon’s first wife Anna once even remarked that she knew he preferred Rita over her.
Rita later admitted that winning him back over and over again became a thrill. A proven way to do this was to make him jealous. She even dated Elvis because she knew it would drive Marlon crazy.

“He broke my heart and came close to crushing my very spirit with his physical infidelities and, worse, with his emotional betrayals.”
“I couldn’t stay away, in fact, I was becoming addicted to the challenge of winning him over and over again.”

Then Rita became pregnant. She hoped that Marlon would marry her and they could be a family. To her surprise Marlon was stern and arranged for an abortion.

One morning after spending the night with Marlon, she took a handful of his sleeping pills. Marlon’s assistant found her just in time.

Her therapist, who was recommended to her by Marlon, told her she should not see Marlon again because it would kill her. Rita and Marlon both agreed to sever ties.

In 1968 Marlon asked Rita to co-star as his lover in “The Night of the Following Day” (Photos 3-8)

Through the end of Brando’s life, they remained in touch. “We had a telephone friendship after that, he did the calling, I never called him.”

Rita stated, “Have you ever been so obsessed by somebody that you feel like you can’t breathe without them? That’s how Marlon felt about himself.”

The last time Rita and Marlon saw each other was in 2003.

“I can excuse everything but boredom. Boring people don't have to stay that way”—Hedy Lamarr.
Born this day, November 9, 1914 – January 19, 2000.

Hedy is only screen actor to be in the National Inventors Hall of Fame. She was inducted in 2014 along with former Hollywood composer George Antheil. At the start of World War II, the two invented a frequency hopping technique that could be used by the Allies to prevent jamming of torpedo guidance systems. Unfortunately at that time the Allies' torpedoes, and the Axis' for that matter, had no guidance systems; once leaving the submarine they received no further input; strictly fire and hope. Thus at the time this was an invention without a purpose. It later became an important aspect for wireless communications. The inventors received no compensation for their discovery. The original 1942 patent expired and the technique became part of the public domain. The earliest U.S. Patent that alluded to frequency hopping was by Nikola Tesla in 1903 (US patent 725,605).

Janet Leigh & Tony Curtis.

Janet was at a party given by RKO Pictures in 1950 when she was approached by a young man who introduced himself as Tony Curtis. (Who was not yet a household name)

Janet stated about their first meeting, “Devastatingly handsome young man—beautiful really—with black unruly hair, large sensitive eyes fringed by long dark lashes—and an irresistible personality.”

In Tony’s autobiography he wrote, ‘Her face was exquisite, she had an incredible figure, and there was a sweetness about her that I found most appealing. It just devastated me to look at this woman’.

They married in a civil ceremony in 1951 in Greenwich, Connecticut. It was Janet’s third marriage, Tony’s first. Tony was 26, Janet was a month shy of 24 years old.

On June 17, 1956, they had a daughter, Kelly Lee Curtis. On November 22, 1958 their second daughter arrived, Jamie Lee Curtis.

In 1962, while she was filming The Manchurian Candidate, Janet got word that Tony had filed for divorce. Tony believed Janet may have been having an affair with her co-star Frank Sinatra, but that was not the reason he filed for divorce. He had fallen for 17-year old German actress Christine Kaufmann. Janet was devastated and felt humiliated about being left for a 17-year old girl.

Tony would go on to marry five more times and have four more children.

Janet married stockbroker Robert Brandt in 1962. They stayed together until her death in 2004.
