Marilyn Monroe with her masseur and friend, Ralph Marilyn Monroe with her masseur and friend, Ralph Roberts on the set of The Misfits in 1960. I have just finished reading Mimosa by Ralph and edited by Chris Jacobs and Hap Roberts. This book is incredibly sweet, discussing the relationship of Marilyn during the last three years of her life. Snippets of the book were released on his website but were removed before publication. The book contains diary-like entries of some of the days Ralph spent with Marilyn. He shares their experiences, her requests and their conversations. This book was an exception to the very private relationship. Ralph had a lovely friendship with Marilyn. He was there for her whenever she needed him, she relied on him and his companionship. It’s so wonderful having a book based on the simple (and not so simple) day to day life of Marilyn in the last few years of her life. I’m sure there are bits missing and a few thoughts that may have got mixed up but overall I trust this account of events, as I trust Ralph. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Marilyn Monroe photographed by Douglas Kirkland in Marilyn Monroe photographed by Douglas Kirkland in November 1961. Marilyn purchased this mermaid, green sequinned Norell dress whilst in Los Angeles in 1961. Frank Sinatra invited Marilyn to a party at Romanoff’s. Sinatra had been on a six week European tour whilst Marilyn stayed in his house. On his return, Marilyn accepted the invite, excited to be back in the public eye after her divorce and hospitalisation. Having nothing to wear, Marilyn was to have Lena Pepitone bring a dress from New York (the Kruschev dress as she called it) but Pat Newcomb had seen the dress in a shop and wanted Marilyn to look at it. Marilyn retuned with the dress which looked beautiful on her. Hazel Washington (assistant) offered to take some of the bottom of the dress and create a shoulder strap, as the dress didn’t fit around the bosom very well. The night of the party, Sinatra gave Marilyn a pair of emerald evenings which you can see each time she wears the dress. She wore the dress at that party at Romanoff’s in September 1961, again for a photoshoot with Douglas Kirkland in November and again at the 1962 Golden Globes the following March. Source: Mimosa by Ralph Roberts The dress sold for $96k at auction.
