perfectlymarilynmonroe:In her younger days, Marilyn had often driven along the Pacific Coast Highway, enjoying the sunset or the moon’s reflection in the water. She might stop with a boyfriend at a small beachside restaurant, have a late dinner, and dance the night away. She might go down to the beach, kick off her shoes, roll up her slacks, and let the cool water caress her feet as she and her friend walked along the sand in the moonlight. “It was sometimes better than sex,” she said. She had continued to enjoy these nights on the beach, and on such stops after she’d become a star, she needed to disguise herself in order not to be mobbed by fans. Even though she was most often dressed in a baggy sweater and slacks, with a scarf over her hair and huge sunglasses over her eyes despite the darkness, a fan might come up and ask, “Did anyone ever tell you, you look just like Marilyn Monroe?” Marilyn would laugh and reply, “All the time.” -Marilyn: Her Life in Her Own Words by George Barris -- source link
