Joe DiMaggio Sent Roses To Marilyn’s Grave For 20 Years Until He Died
The tragedy of Marilyn Monroe is one that touches our hearts to this very day. A young, sad beauty taken too soon simply feels unjust. We didn’t even know Marilyn, and we feel the loss! Imagine being the man who shared a life with her, during mutual ups and downs. That’s the situation baseball legend Joe DiMaggio found himself in when he heard the news that his ex-wife had been found dead. Joe was an alcoholic who was just getting his life back together, and he was even winning back Marilyn’s heart.
Joe was devastated and immediately claimed her body. He banned Hollywood executives and the Kennedys from attending the funeral, as he blamed them for her downfall. Then, twice a week for twenty years, he had a bouquet of roses delivered to her grave until he died in 1999. He never remarried, all this time. On his deathbed, he said: “I’ll finally get to see Marilyn.”
Goldie Hawn And Kurt Russell’s First Date Was Stopped By The Cops
After four decades, movie legends Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have still not made things official on paper. But maybe they’ve had such a wild ride that a wedding would be mundane. For example, on their very first date, they broke into a house to practice dance moves together. Why? Well, both were set to be filming a swing dancing flick together. And it was actually Goldie’s house. But she didn’t have the keys with her!
Kurt recalled: “We eventually found our way upstairs, looking around at imaginary furniture and we were in the imaginary bedroom, now, and we are realistically having sex when the police walked in…So next thing I [see] is the flashlight…and Goldie and I are both like “What, what?”… We were being told I guess to go get a hotel room, which we did. That was our first date.”
