“I  wasn’t sure what year this photograph was taken, but Dad said this is what Marilyn looked like when he first met her in the early 50s. He did said that she ‘evolved’ into the woman that we all know. He said that she was very straight forward, but at the same time, she told dad that he understood her. Dad always told me never to underestimate someone, just by their looks, because they could be fighting an internal battle, which she did. But, every time that she saw dad, she seemed to light up his life. He was pretty upset by her death, and he actually said this, and you should write it down. He said this to me: She wasn’t suppose to go, not now, it wasn’t her time.  I think the world agreed with that. Dad was luckily enough to attend the funeral. He came home after that and cried and placed her photograph on our mantle, and then when he died, my brother’s and I placed that photograph in a box, that you opened, and you know have. Remember something: Marilyn, I did meet when I was 19. She wasn’t some dumb drugged up blonde. She was a smart, funny and above all, a human being.”- Co-worker’s Father on Marilyn Monore, which this is the photograph he was talking about.
