Do you think Marilyn Monroe is the best platinum blond ever?





Marilyn and Jock Carroll 1952


Marilyn and Jock Carroll picture 3

Two days later the three of them (Marilyn, Jock & Neill) were together again. Marilyn was done with filming early and they had some time to walk around and do some sightseeing. They came upon some pay binoculars that Marilyn wanted to look through. Neill suggested that she be photographed doing this but Marilyn’s response was “I’d like to take a look through them, but no photos. That’s corny. Like in New York they say, Look up at the skyscrapers, do they think you have never seen a skyscraper before? I like pictures that have some warmth, quality to them.”

They pasted by the Maid of the Mist were Marilyn decided she wanted to go on a boat ride. Her arrival created quite of a stir and the captain offered her white oilskins to wear which they use for royalty. Marilyn wanted to use the black ones like everyone else. A photographer appeared on board photographing Marilyn with her fans, he signed up 10 photographs for a $1.00 a piece telling Marilyn they didn’t care if it was the back of their head in the picture – as long as Marilyn was there.

Marilyn asked the captain if it were true that people threw themselves over the falls. He told Marilyn about a guy from Detroit who was eating at the Rainbow Room with his family a few days earlier and disappeared. They think he went over the falls. This startled Marilyn thinking how she had just eaten there and this man may have been someone she saw. As Jock & Marilyn left she couldn’t stop talking about this man. Her last word on the subject was “Sleeping pills are much better.”

When Jock first met Marilyn he thought she would be a typical Starlet – just a blonde trying to make it in films. However, he didn’t meet a typical starlet and later in life looked back on the day he met her as walking in on the beginning of the legend Marilyn Monroe.
