" ...for the first time in my life I felt no fear at all, I felt only happy!"
  "It had started snowing. But I felt as warm as if I were standing in a bright sun...I've always been frightened by an audience - any audience. My stomach pounds, my head gets dizzy and I'm sure my voice has left me. But standing in the snowfall facing these yelling soldiers, I felt for the first time in my life no fear at all. I felt only happy."

Provenance

When my dad, Everett Wyatt, gave me this photo of Hollywood celebrity, Marilyn Monroe, in November 1978 he told me, "She was a genuine person, very polite but clever and funny - not pretentious at all.

Marilyn Monroe rode with him in an open jeep, which pulled her combination dressing room and outhouse.  Dad said Marilyn's only complaint during her stay was that the toilet had frozen. Marilyn performed ten shows with her band, 'Anything Goes', February 16-19. Dad escorted her, on his arm, up onto the makeshift stage, held Marilyn's flight jacket and waited for her at the bottom of the stairs, where he took this picture.

"She wanted to wear the aubergine, spaghetti strap dress '... for the fellas' even though it was snowing and bitter cold" dad told me. Marilyn's biography reports that she kept the dress as a memento for the rest of her life.
