Monroe effects: Some Divorce to Escape, Some Divorce for Reconciliation - Part 1
In the 50’s and 60’s, Hollywood was a hope to one and all who wanted to break free from the chains of mediocre social conventions and lifestyle and so Hollywood certainly took Marilyn in it’s spell and also took away a lot of things from Marilyn, slowly she became too much to be not written or spoken about.
Love life of Merilyn Monroe
She became the topic of many a teaser gossips within the elite social circles, also she soon realized that the industry itself which made her a superstar, would be waiting to take advantage of her stardom, so in the process she lost some genuine friends and would become irritated which added to the insecurity she was harboring since childhood as she was sexually abused several times as a child.
So finally became a well established actress when she started speaking about it in the public and she was ridiculed in her approach about the topic which was received with a lot of indifference from the public at large . All this made her think that the world which already had a feast on her ordeal as an abused child was now targetting her, Marilyn almost felt as if she has mortgaged her life to the media which made her feel insecure and had to be institutionalized much against her wishes plus her socialistic view on society and her ever ready gesture to help the downtrodden and poor made her a friend of many communist personalities during that time, which bought her under the direct suspicion of the many anti-communist establishments specially the homeland security and FBI etc. It is said that J.D Edgar Hoover chief of FBI was primarily responsible for the slow deterioration of an otherwise healthy Marilyn which eventually lead to her demise.
Thus as a husband of the lady who was the “Queen of Hollywood” and more has a true friend, Joe helped Marilyn when she was being considered for frequent rehabilitation and when she was forcibly admitted to a rehab center which was not only hostile towards Marilyn but the rehab center was attempting to frame her as an extreme psychotic case, under direct but unofficial orders from the FBI. It is then when Joe DiMaggio realized that Marilyn had to be rescued and so Joe played an important role in giving her a normal life, thus all who were close to the couple could clearly notice the depth of the love between them. According to Jerry Coleman, “Joe DiMaggio deeply loved that woman.” According to Lois Smith, “The attraction to Joe remained great. Marilyn knew where she stood with him. He was always there, she could always call on him, lean on him depend on him, be certain of him. It was a marvelous feeling of comfort for her.” As Marilyn told Danish journalist, “To know that Joe is there is like having a life guard”, and Joe DiMaggio certainly proved that.
Lastly the question as to what led to Marilyn’s so-called suicide remains unanswered to date, did she die a Mysterious death ? …was the FBI or Dr. Greenson responsible for her death? or was Marilyn’ herself responsible is debatable.
But it was Joe who wanted Marilyn to be completely happy and he knew from the beginning that underneath the cloud of stardom and illicit happiness was a mountain of sadness in Marilyn’s heart which he (Joe) wanted to reason with, but Marlyin had strayed too far and believed too much in the glamour world and so it was too late for Joe to save her from all the influencing factors which shaped Marilyn Monroe’s to the final days.
I think all the above begs to drive the message that Love is above anything humans have known or created, if one finds true love in one’s life time then it is like being the richest person on earth.
