IN REMEMBRANCE

Norma Jeane Mortenson aka Marilyn Monroe may be gone, but she won't be forgotten.  We have her movies to help us remember her existance.  If it were possible for Buddhist reincarnation to be applied to the human race, then she'd be the first in line to be reborn through the religion and science of Buddhist reincarnation.  Marilyn Monroe died much too soon and she had too much unexplored potential to explore.  She always was a complicated woman.  She was a hopeless doomed victim, an invincible icon and a pioneer who was ahead of her time.

Marilyn Monroe in 1962

Marilyn Monroe was thirty-six years old when she died on Aug. 5, 1962 from a drug overdose.  She acted in twenty-eight movies.  She was in the process of acting in her twent-ninth film Something's Got to Give when she expired from a drug overdose without completing all of her scenes in the movie.  A remake of the film My Favorite Wife, Something's Got to Give was eventually revamped and retitled Move Over, Darling with a completely different cast.

The above photos was a table filled with the drugs that Marilyn Monroe killed herself with when she overdosed.  That hand pointing to the table probably belonged to either a reporter or a police officer assigned to investigate the drug overdose death of Marilyn Monroe.
