On June 11 of this year, Marilyn Monroe would have turned 85 years old. Because she has such a large group of dedicated fans long after she has passed, an exhibit named ‘Happy Birthday Marilyn’ is being created for her fans to be a part of. All fans are invited to participate and see this exhibit which is being created in recognition of her birthday. The Andrew Weiss Gallery and the Marilyn Remembered Fan Club are pleased to present this exciting exhibit which will run June 1, 2011 through August 13th, 2011.
Marilyn’s fans from around the world are invited to send personal birthday greetings personalized to her which will become part of this historic exhibit. The cards from fans will be combined with one of the world's most in-depth collections of Marilyn photographs. The photos span her entire life, from the very first images to the last, which were taken by renowned photographers Bill Carroll, Milton Greene, Tom Kelley, Bert Stern, and George Barris. This exhibit is the first ever of its kind to include the world-wide Marilyn Monroe community. This exhibit is being held in Beverly Hills, California so is will be out of the question for many people to attend this event. Even though this exhibit is being held across the country, you can still be a part of it by sending a card to Marilyn. This is a very rare opportunity and a chance to be part of something great.

I can’t believe she would have only been 85 years old! It seems like Marilyn was an icon of a past we are in no way connected to- but I guess in many way we still are.
ReplyDeleteHere’s a woman that captivated the world with her charisma and beauty. I watched a movie she was in called “Niagara,” and it was great. I love her style. She always keeps you guessing. It could most definitely that my ideas are influenced by her iconic image but her presence on screen carries a timeless feel I could not get away from. I feel as if you could drop her into a role in a modern movie and she would fit right in, and steal the lime-light.
Awesome find. I think a lot of people still relate to Marilyn in some way or another. And it’s always great to have an outlet to feel like a part of her iconic image.
