A groundbreaking book commemorating the 50th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s passing has disclosed the captivating revelation that the iconic blonde star harbored a s**ual attraction towards women.
In the narrative “Marilyn Monroe: My Little Secret,” recounted by Jane Lawrence to writer Tony Jerris, it unravels how this Fifties s** symbol allured a 16-year-old girl who kickstarted the actress’ inaugural fan club at 20th Century Fox.
Detailing her encounters to Mr. Jerris, Ms. Lawrence recounts the moment when the then 29-year-old actress “leaned in and kissed me full on the lips, very softly and very slowly.
I was nearly hyperventilating.”
Ms. Lawrence delves further into her poignant memories of the silver screen goddess, portraying how she evolved into the superstar’s confidante, fondly referred to as “my little secret” by Marilyn, while also exposing the intimate relationship they shared during her teenage years.
The author, acquainted with Ms. Lawrence through a mutual acquaintance in 2001, revealed to RadarOnline: “Jane crossed paths with Marilyn at the age of 12 since her adoptive father oversaw the legal department at RKO studio.”
“Their bond deepened upon discovering their shared history of residing in the same orphanage at different stages of their lives, despite Marilyn being 14 years older, with neither aware of their biological fathers,” he added.
Drawing parallels between their pasts, they formed a close-knit friendship.
Jane, grappling with her sexuality, confided in Marilyn multiple times, finding solace in her words of wisdom, “Whatever your s**ual preference is, it means nothing – love is love.”
Recounting an incident in 1955, Ms. Lawrence narrates how a mundane evening at Marilyn’s Los Angeles abode, intended for shelf organizing, swiftly transitioned into an intimate affair.
While helping Marilyn with the shelves, Ms. Lawrence was taken aback when her idol unexpectedly kissed her thigh, exuding a mischievous charm.
As the night unfolded, fueled by champagne and Nembutal, Marilyn’s candidness and ardor left an indelible mark on Ms. Lawrence, altering her perceptions of intimate encounters forever.
Reflecting on the experience, Ms. Lawrence recollects the surreal moments spent with Marilyn, where passion and desire intertwined, marking a pivotal realization of her own orientation.
Contrary to belief, Ms. Lawrence asserts that Marilyn’s actions stemmed from a free-spirited nature rather than a label of being a lesbian, emphasizing the enduring friendship they shared until Marilyn’s untimely demise at 36.
Narrated in Ms. Lawrence’s voice, “Marilyn Monroe: My Little Secret” encapsulates the memoirs of a venerable woman cherishing her profound reminiscences of an immortalized icon.
