I do remember when she died- my mother and I were pulling up to the grocery store and as my mom parked the car we both saw the headlines on the newspaper stand- so very long ago. Now it would have been blasted from all the communication forms we have-
Happy Writing and a very Happy and Healthy 2012 my friends!
ReplyDeleteHow to capture an icon?
ReplyDeleteAnyone remember where you were when her death was announced? Gee, how old am I, really??!!

ReplyDeleteThough this image should have elicited something more jolly from me, I could only feel pain.
ReplyDeleteThe first thought that came to me when I saw this image, is how hard it seems for her to look happy. A really posed shot, but, just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, all!
I'm very bad at writing Magpies when I recognize the image...... ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to everyone and my most gracious thanks for allowing me to be a part of your Magpie writing world!

ReplyDeletehappy christmas to all on magpie tales...what would it have been like if she was still here??xx
ReplyDeleteThe kind of stuff that happened to Marilyn when she was a kid was not uncommon then, nor is it uncommon now.
ReplyDeleteJust though.....
ReplyDeleteReading all the raw (and beautiful!) posts today I wonder how the posts would have gone if that were an unknown woman....?
Words influenced.

Happy New Year everyone. I have opted to highlight how important family life away from the fanfare is.
ReplyDeleteSuch a treasure.
A tribute of sorts to Norma Jean.

ReplyDeleteNot an easy image to write to. I think I have to agree with Kat Mortensen. She just makes me so sad.
