Here is A couple of them for you. I thought I had more but I guess not.

thank you very much!!!

Lovely!

does anyone have VIDEO of this event when Marilyn is standing by the choir and she runs in to hug them. She looked really excited about the choir. But when she's at the mic she looks sorta gloomy. Anyone know what she said? Was this all for her birthday or something?

i havent the video, but this wasn´t for her birthday... it was an event to help the kids with some muscular sickness... if i´m wrong sorry

i Find these

Thanks, Marilyntkm!

Here is a brief clip of Marilyn speaking, then hugging the kids in the choir.

Also, the kiss she gave to the crowd was the last kiss the world would recieve in public. I always see this photo as her saying goodbye to all of us. The one constant in her life was her adoring fans. I think she knew we connected in a special way emotionally, and this was her thanking us. But we are the lucky ones, comets such as hers pass thru very rarely.

Thank you for posting that clip!

THANK YOU EVER SO!!!!!! i never seen that video!!!!!!! i made caps....

It's sad to see Marilyn at her last year... her last months... I can't stop thinking about what she whould do if she knew she was going to die...

silly isn't it?

Anyone have a clue what MM was saying? She was so serious in her speech. I'm really curious. Lasse, do you have a newspaper article from this event, describing anything? Anyone?

Yes, I think the same thing

but whenever I see that picture of her clutching the mic and looking up (the one where she has a sorta sad face) I can't help but think that she knew her days were coming to an end. I see it on her face. I've seen that look on her face in a lot of her last pictures. I think she knew. (a lot of people know when they're getting close..even if from unnatural causes)

Hi Megan!

The only thing I've got on this (so far) are the following:

My guess is that what she actually was saying was of very low priority to any news agency or editors at the time. Charity performances were not unusual and I believe that actual contents of charity speeches weren't paid much attention to (unless there would be some outrageous statements, of course.)

It may be that the news item with the picture of her - that her appearance was reported on at all - was slightly exceptional and a testament to the special position she held.

I wouldn't be too hopeful in finding her speech in print. The best chance might be if the Multiple Sclerosis Society published it somewhere, but I wouldn't bet on that.

Lasse, thanxs so much! I appreciate all you do here!

Also, anyone with a larger scan of this photo? Marilyn's speech, we might be able to see the text a little better.

Albie Pearson is the player seen here with Marilyn, he writes:



"I looked at the most famous yet loneliest person I ever saw in my life," Pearson said. "She was a beautiful shell.

"I was shocked. I expected her to come out flashing a big smile, and I got this sober look. Every Bible verse I ever heard about the love of God poured into my mind.

"But I didn't want her to think I was a religious nut. I didn't want to say anything."

So Pearson remained silent as Monroe emerged from the dugout, turning on the charm as she turned to face the crowd.

She played the part of America's sex symbol. She cooed. She posed for pictures. She shook hands with Pearson, accepted the check, and walked off the field.

Her smile, no longer required, immediately vanished. Pearson stared into searching eyes, and Monroe stared right back.

"What is it," Monroe asked, "that you're trying to tell me?"

Pearson opened his mouth but said nothing. He nodded, then jogged to center field for the start of the game.

Monroe never made another public appearance. Several weeks later, with the Angels in New York, the news struck like a bolt of lightning: Marilyn Monroe, three times divorced, dead of a drug overdose at 36.

In his hotel room, Pearson fell to his knees in prayer, distraught by words he never said.

"I wasn't the cause of her death," he said. "But I felt like I had been allowed. . . the Lord wanted me to say something to her."

I read that " She borrowed the fur trimmed suit she had worn while filming that day because she was to attend a Muscular Dystrophy fund raiser at Dodger Stadium that evening with her former husband Joe DiMaggio and co-star Dean Martin's young son. "

thanx suus, but I was referring to this other picture

somebody?? who´s this man? where´s MM? on set of SGTG or dodger stadium?

This is a short video clip: This scene with Wally Cox was filmed on Marilyn's birthday June 1st 1962.

The final score of this game, was the year MM died. Weird coincidences...
