Monday Mural

At the exhibition about Marilyn Monroe I visited some time ago, I saw these sketches of the architect who designed her house in Brentwood California.

They showed them as a mural on the walls.

This was the scene in the bedroom where she was found dead in 1962. At the right is a photographer

who makes photo of a policeman pointing at the pillboxes she had used.

  2. That was so long ago, but I do remember what a shock it was. You have so many interesting exhibits in Amsterdam.

    I have been ask to talk about The Netherlands by my granddaughters class.. Talk about LONG ago. ...and what do you think the attention span of a four year old is?!!

    1. I have no grandchildren, so I don't know their attention span anymore. But maybe some talk about the sea level and the windmills and dikes we have built to make land out of the sea?

  4. We remain fascinated by her. I saw "All About Eve" yesterday in which Marilyn is a new face. My 83 year old mother's 91 year old boyfriend went to high school with Mailyn!
