Dear Marilyn,
I have loved getting to know you this past week. It has been an honor. My perception of you has certainly changed. I admire and adore you. You are an inspiration to me. You conquered this crazy industry and were at the top. You made it. I just wish that you didn’t have to fight so much pain as a result. I feel like I want to write a song for you…
“Goodbye, Norma Jean. Though I never knew you at all. You had the grace to hold yourself, while those around you crawled. Goodbye, Norma Jean from a young man girl in the 22nd row who sees you as something more than sexual… More than just our Marilyn Monroe.” Oh wait, I didn’t write that. Thank you, Elton.
Love, Allison
