“Someone who really loves you sees what a mess you can be, how moody you can get, how hard u are to handle, but still wants u in their life”


Marilyn was a big supporter of the Civil Rights Movement. Ella Fitzgerald was one of Marilyn’s idols and a major inspiration. However, the Mocambo nightclub in West Hollywood, the most popular dance spot at the time, refused to let Ella perform there because she was black. Outraged, Marilyn told the owners that if they would let Ella perform, she would be there in the front row every time Ella was onstage. She did, and the two became friends. 
According to the great Ella Fitzgerald:“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt…it was because of her that I played the Mocambo, a very popular nightclub in the ’50s. She personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him - and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status - that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman - a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it.”

FORTUNE | MAY 8TH 2012

water crescent daydreams streamed across faces seeking solitude. Sandman do not take and hold my dreams hostage unless there can be space for healing. I have sought many things without ever being granted access. Fulfillment was always temporary. I will write until these fingers turn numb because them my blood will trickle on pages and formulate words. Then and only then will my heart have truly won. ♥ sincerly me
