3 posts | 1 read
Marilyn Monroe lived the Hollywood dream. Born into a difficult family situation, subjected to foster care and claims of illegitimacy, Norma Jean Baker managed to rise from her humble upbringing to international stardom with classic comic performances in Some Like It Hot and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and many others. But the beautiful and charismatic Monroe was haunted by illness and psychological distress. After her unexpected death by overdose, Monroe has become one of the most intriguing and most beloved of Hollywood's fallen stars. Fragments offers a sensitive and personal insight into the mysterious and tragic Marilyn Monroe through never-before-seen letters and documents, revealing the woman behind the legend.

PageShifter This touched me, because at the moment my grandmother is living in the hospital and we are just trying to make her last part of life more comfortable. I planned to visit her next weekend (if she's still living) and read some classic at her?! She can't communicate that much anymore but she would know that someone is with her. 2y
Eggs Well chosen 💗💔👏🏻 2y

dabbe You are performing the most selfless act that any human can. I know your grandma knows you're there, and while it may be hard for you, it's bringing her peace. That's a true hero. ❣️ 2y
SamAnne Wonderful to read to her. When my Dad was passing the nurse told me that hearing is the last sense to go. Word from experience: if a love done is hard of hearing, make sure they keep the hearing aids in. 2y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @PageShifter I‘m so sorry about your grandmother… you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🏻 2y
PageShifter Thank you for your kind words @peanutnine @dabbe and @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks And @SamAnne thank you for the hint!! Grandmother has had problems with hearing quite a long time!! For me that has been hard because I don't usually yell when I speak but others did seem to be fine with it. And now when she doesn't communicate like she used to it's hard to know how much she hears. But if she has never had a hearing aid, can you start using it now? 2y
