The love story between Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio is a
timeless tale. Both of these legends had extraordinary careers in
their individual fields, as well as remarkable existences. This
book chronicles each of their lives, from the days before they met,
until that magical night in 1952 when their paths finally crossed.
Their lives would never be the same after that. Though their
marriage lasted for nine months, their love endured beyond those
years and her death in 1962 -- Joe's heart yearned for no one else,
even at his deathbed thirty-seven years after her untimely passing.
This account shares of their love and focuses on their marriage in
1954, and their trip to Japan and her trip to Korea, during the
nearly one month time span that the couple was in the Far East
together. The author's collections of rare and unpublished
photographs (some never-before-seen), especially from their time in
Japan and Marilyn's in Korea (released in tandem with the sixtieth
anniversary of their trip to the Far East), as well as memorabilia
from both of the stars from the author's collection, are treasures
that accompany this story. This book weaves in elements about
baseball, entertainment, the military, the tragedies of stardom,
and above all, the love Marilyn and Joe shared. The story told here
unveils other characters in the casts of both of their lives,
including interviews with family members of Marilyn Monroe who run
the "Marilyn Monroe Family" website, headed by Marilyn's second
cousin, Jason Edward Kennedy. This book begins to also debunk the
myths and propaganda about the life and death of Marilyn Monroe.
Additionally, controversy within Joe's final days is also explored.
"Marilyn Monroe & Joe DiMaggio - Love In Japan, Korea &
Beyond,"" is the first book in the series endorsed by
MarilynMonroeFamily.com, the website run by the relatives of
William Marion Hogan, Marilyn Monroe's great-uncle.
