Hey I'm new to this group and if this is a repost I'm sorry, just tell me if it is I'll just delete it.
This is an edited version of Last Talk With a Lonely Girl: Marilyn Monroe by Richard Meryman, first published in Life magazine, August 17 1962
Ever since she was fired from Something's Got to Give, Marilyn Monroe has kept an almost disdainful silence. As far as her troubles with 20th Century Fox were concerned, she simply said she had been too sick to work - not wilfully tardy and truant as the producer charged.

:star: Anyone that knew Marilyn knew about her hardships growing up. One item that epitomized her struggle was the white baby grand piano that was purchased by her mother, Gladys, while she was living with Gladys for the first time since she was born. Because of this she attached a lot of sentimental value to the piano, not to mention it was beautiful!

This curvy condo building in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada has been dubbed the Marilyn Monroe Tower in reference to her voluptuous figure.
The building is in a centralised location and close to all major highways.
It's more like living in a private club, as the building includes many luxeries.
