Happy Birthday Marilyn!

Marilyn photographed at home in New York by Robert Kelley, 1958. (In the background you can see a formal portrait, recently shot by Carl Perutz. A painting based on Perutz’s photo was later acquired by Marilyn’s ex-husband, Joe DiMaggio.)

Marilyn Monroe was born on this day, 88 years ago…

“I like celebrating birthdays. I enjoy knowing that I’m alive. And you can underline alive.” – Marilyn to reporter Bob Thomas, 1962
