      @@annbolyn4910 Thank you so much for your kind words. Marilyn first and foremost was a human being just like all of us, but sadly she was part of an industry that most of the time does not treat you as a human being, but as just a source of money, profit and power. I also believe that Marilyn was a lonely person and because of her sad life story (she didn't have a loving family; she grew up in foster homes), all she wanted was to be truly loved and accepted. I feel that she felt she was invisible and she just wanted to be seen as the smart and intelligent woman she really was. In the end, she just wanted what we all look for in our lives: true love and happiness.

      @@carolinep.m.8979 You're welcome, Caroline. I hesitate to use the word "victim" as I think it's become a "go to", but as with everything, there are exceptions.
      Like Elvis, I think Marilyn became a victim of her own fame and image, and what a struggle it must have been to sustain that. I remember Elvis ruefully answering a question on that subject, saying "the man is different from the image".
      Marilyn was propped up, held up, made up, and told to go perform. They didn't care about her heart. They were sharks circling the water. They didn't take her seriously, and this must have hurt her deeply, with unpleasant memories of her childhood. A good thing is she left behind a wonderful legacy, with fans even fifty-five or so years later, who recognized her for the smart woman she really was.

    Marilyn gave this cemetery it's legendary status. Before her entombment here, there were no superstars there. Now, because of her, it's the most star packed cemetery in the world. Yes, Marilyn was named after a similar looking Broadway star, Marilyn Miller. And, Monroe was her family name. Norma Jeane came from Norma Jeane Cohen of Louisville, KY. where Gladys, Marilyn's mother was briefly a Nanny to the little Jewish girl. There's many other stars here like Jack Lemmon, Hugh Hefner, etc.

      @@toniwilson1579 Yes, Dean was a stand up guy in my books and had dear Marilyn's back. The movie that Dean & Marilyn were working together on was, "Something's Got To Give" (1962). Unfortunately due to Marilyn having personal problems, being late - not showing up altogether, being "ill", flying off to the JFK birthday bash in New York, etc., 20th Century Fox had enough and fired her. Only a few usable scenes had been been completed by Marilyn and the delays were costing the studio money. Plus, Elizabeth Taylor's, "Cleopatra" was plaguing Fox with costs and delays as well...not to mention paying Elizabeth one million dollars to star in it, which was an unheard of sum of money to pay a star back then. Elizabeth had joked that she'd play Cleopatra if they gave her a million. She didn't think Fox would take her seriously. Anyway, with all this going on, things just went downhill for Marilyn and everyone involved. One actress suggested to replace Marilyn was Lee Remick...Dean had nothing against Lee, but he had signed to co-star with Marilyn and no one else...no Marilyn, no Dean! Eventually Marilyn was rehired by Fox, at a higher salary (but still paled in comparison to Elizabeth's), to resume the filming in September of '62, but unfortunately Marilyn passed away at the age of only 36, on August 5th (I *believe* she really passed away late in the evening of the 4th)....With Marilyn sadly gone, the movie was recast with Doris Day and James Garner in the lead roles...and re-titled, "Move Over Darling", which came out in 1963. Not to take away from Doris and James, but I so wished that the version with Marilyn & Dean was completed...it would have been magical with them in it. Just judging by the scenes that were completed, Marilyn just sparkled and was still so stunningly beautiful in 1962....I'm glad both Marilyn and Dean's crypts are not that far apart...friends since the early 1950s and now in the great beyond. God bless their beautiful souls.

    Interesting story I read about Marilyn Monroe; it was from a friend of hers. They talked about how they were walking with Marilyn through New York City one day, and nobody was even giving her a second glance. The friend was baffled, and turned to Marilyn to remark about how strange it was that nobody in New York City of all places was recognizing her. Marilyn simply looked at her and said “oh, you want to see me be her?” and in an instant, she switched from Norma Jean and turned on her Marilyn Monroe persona. Everyone began to notice her after that, and a whole crowd formed. That just goes to show you how different she was in real life from the persona she always put on.

    Dean was devastated after the death of his son Dino.

Ramon Ortiz. The plane he was flying , one of three F4-C Phantom Jets ,on maneuvers ,had crashed into one of San Bernardino Mountains. He was a member of the California Air National Guard, and crashed during a military training flight.

Reduced to her beauty and sensuality I believe people could never see beyond her looks to notice that she was just as beautiful if not more on the inside.

    When I visited Westwood Cemetary in 1989 I stopped in meaning just to take a quick peek. It was the middle of the week and I had the whole place to myself. I ended up spending two hours. It's an odd place surrounded by sky scrapers. It's hard to imagine what it was like so many years ago that made so many stars want to be buried there. I was surprised to find Marilyn and so many others. I mean it is just packed with Hollywood stars. I think I read that all the spaces had been sold long ago when people thought about where they'd like to be buried or interred. Very interesting place. Get a guide book first, though. And plan to spend some time with your favorites. Marilyn's is easy to find due to the color of the stone.

As most viewers know, others have made videos of this cemetery. Your videos are the best because of your polished and articulate manner as well as your sincere demeanor which can be felt by your viewers. Your touching of Marilyn Monroe's crypt with your hand was, well, touching. Thank you for devoting 3 videos to this cemetery as there are so many interesting people located here. I don't know if there are curses, but I do believe in blessings. Your viewers are blessed to have you bring such excellent videos to the world.
