Day 16: Favorite event in Marilyn’s Lifetime
Marilyn’s performance for US Troops in Korea
In February 1954, Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio were newlyweds, on a trip in Japan, when the bride took a detour to Korea to entertain the troops. She performed ten shows in four days, in front of audiences that totaled more than 100,000 soldiers and marines. Later Monroe recalled that the trip “was the best thing that ever happened to me. I never felt like a star before in my heart. It was so wonderful to look down and see a fellow smiling at me.”
Marilyn was nervous about performing some of her songs, specifically “Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend”. She felt that many of the men couldn’t afford diamonds and by singing that song, it may be insensitive to their plight: “It seemed like the wrong thing to say to soldiers in Korea, earning only soldiers’ pay. Then I remembered the dance I did after the song. It was a cute dance. I knew they would like it.”
The pianist who accompanied Marilyn Monroe during her performance said about her, “Someone ought to go up to her and tell her she’s Marilyn Monroe. She doesn’t seem to realize it. When you make a goof, she tells you she’s sorry! When she goofs she apologizes to me!”
Marilyn not only performed for the troops but she also visited injured servicemen in hospitals in Japan She even signed a lucky homeward bound serviceman’s cast. Before Marilyn left Korea, the Far East Command presented her with a silver medallion in appreciation for both her performing tour in Korea and her hospital visits in Japan.

Yes this is my favourite movie, yes I am a cliché.
Rhett: “No I don’t think I will kiss you. Although you need kissing badly. That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed, and often, and by someone who knows how.”
Scarlett: “And I suppose you think you are the proper person?”
Rhett: “I might be. If the right moment ever came.”

Winona Ryder in high school
“I was wearing an old Salvation Army shop boy’s suit. As I went to the bathroom I heard people saying, ‘Hey, faggot’. They slammed my head into a locker. I fell to the ground and they started to kick the shit out of me. I had to have stitches. The school kicked me out, not the bullies.
“Years later, I went to a coffee shop and I ran into one of the girls who’d kicked me, and she said, ‘Winona, Winona, can I have your autograph?’ And I said, ‘Do you remember me? Remember in seventh grade you beat up that kid?’ And she said, ‘Kind of’. And I said, ‘That was me. Go fuck yourself.’”
