My husband has been a huge fan of Marilyn Monre since he was a young teen and even though he is now 50 years old, he is still a huge fan of Marilyn’s! I have always asked him why he is so attracted to her and he tells me that Marilyn was the total package. She had beauty, talent and brains and that no other actress in the past or in modern times comes even close to being the total package like Marilyn Monroe.
Now there is a new DVD collection coming out on Blu-ray on July 31st, 2012 called “The Forever Marilyn Collection” and I know my husband will be the first in line to get it! Here is some more information for all of you who love and adore Marilyn Monroe and her work in films.
