Fascinating Information About Legendary Marilyn Monroe's Life

---

Fact – 26

Joe DiMaggio set flowers on Marilyn's tomb once a week twenty years ago.
One of Hollywood's most enduring displays of loyalty is Joe DiMaggio's two-decade-long custom of fresh rose delivery to Marilyn's mausoleum. Two times a week, without fail, three fresh roses would show up at Westwood Village Memorial Park at her last rest. This act was evidence of a love that went beyond their brief marriage and complex connection, not only of memory. DiMaggio had set up a local florist to carry on this honor, stipulating that the roses— Marilyn's favorite—must be crimson. This memorial's stability delighted guests to her crypt, who would typically discover fresh blossoms regardless of the season or temperature. Representing almost half his life, this dedication continued until DiMaggio's death in 1999. Among Hollywood historians and viewers, the ceremony became legendary, representing not only personal loyalty but also a great grief for what might have been. DiMaggio's relentless dedication in death stood in sharp contrast to the fleeting character of most Hollywood relationships, so this gesture was even more moving.
