What are Marilyn Monroes siblings names?

Marilyn Monroe only siblings are Berniece Baker Miracle and Robert Kermitt Baker

Was Joan Crawford really that mean to her kids?

No one can know for sure, but if the reports are true, yes. There is always two sides to every story, and since she's dead we'll never hear from her. (hopefully)

Sorry for such a lame answer, but it's the best you'll get. I believe that the fame got to her and she just turned truly evil. Maybe if Marilyn Monroe had children she would be like that, you know? Nothing against Marilyn, I love her, but it's true. Fame can make or break you.

What qualities made Marilyn Monroe so memorable?

I truly believe it was their ability to stand out of a crowd by being themselves and the fact that they each took the sexiest aspect of themselves and played it up. Marilyn-dyed her hair Jean Harlow platnium, wore clothes to accentuate her curves. Audrey-had her hair cut short, which played up her cheekbones, had that accent and used her greatest ally-fashion by way of Givenchy to give her a sophisticated style. With Twiggy it was all about her eyes, so she played up her eyes, and she was SO skinny that her body worked at a time where mini skirts reigned and her flat chest and slender body was a hanger for all these fashions of the 60s.

Why is Marilyn Monroe still famous to this day?

I would say she's famous for a few reasons. First of all, Marilyn was one of the most popular actresses of her time. She starred in many classic movies like "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" and "Some Like It Hot." She was a great comedic actress and these films remain relevant and display her talent. She won a few Golden Globes. AFI named her the sixth greatest movie star of all time. In short, she is and was a superstar. Marilyn is also a sex symbol. She is known for her beauty and sexiness, and remains a pin-up girl on many people's (male and female) walls. She is especially known for being one of the most beautiful blondes to have ever lived. Unfortunately, she is also known as the quintessential "dumb blonde," a stereotype she wished to erase. She also represents a certain era in history, that of the old Hollywood glamour. Further, Marilyn was well known for scandals and personal troubles. She had a difficult childhood, was married three times, posed nude, potentially had affairs with the Kennedy brothers, depended on alcohol and pills, was a diva, etc. Her charmed life and tragic death from a pill overdose (possibly a suicide) remains a bittersweet story that people love to hear.

How was Marlyn Monroe successful?

She was an actress, model and singer. Having achieved stardom at all three careers she was considered a sex symbol and was a famous pinup girl for posters and advertising.

She was also well known to date other high profile figures and openly exploited the press who were all too eager to dig into her private life without realizing that much of what they were being shown were publicity stunts.

Her entire image was crafted with one goal: achieve fame. Everything about her including her name and hair color were entirely fictional. She crafted her behavior both on and off screen to cultivate the expansion of her fame.

Nancy Maniscalco is the only daughter of Marilyn Moneoe aka Nancy cusomano?

Obviously not, no. Marilyn Monroe never had a biological surviving daughter or son. There is a rumor that Marilyn may or may not have stated herself, that she did concieve and later carry a child to term during her years as an orphan. However, Marilyn was known to make stories up about anything and everything - especially to move her career along and for sympathy. There is no proof of this child and was said to be given up for adoption if they existed; but it is doubtful they did. Nobody alive can actually say that happened, and I've heard this Nancy person is a mentally ill person with a drug problem that fakes this for attention. She probably wouldn't even be old enough, logically speaking.

What kind of casket was Marilyn Monroe buried in?

Marilyn Monroe was buried in an expensive luxury casket selected by Joe DiMaggio at the Westwood Village Memorial Park. The casket was a silver finished "Masterpiece" solid bronze casket which was made of extra strong 15 ga wrought bronze (15 gauge means partially made of 48 ounces per square foot sheets and partially of 64oz sheets), resulting in a casket weight between 300 and 400 lbs empty. The casket had a hermetically sealed double lid, but no additional inner glass panel. The interior was of champagne colored hand tufted velvet with some satin and silk. The "Masterpiece" was the top of the line product of the renown Belmont casket company of Columbus, Ohio (with another factory at Shadyside, Ohio), a firm which also provided the caskets of President Woodrow Wilson and Lyndon Johnson. The Masterpiece" design, which soon became known as the "Cadillac of Caskets" had been registered as a trademark in 1957.
After the Belmont plant had been closed at the end of the 1970s, the "Masterpiece" and some other Belmont designs were bought by the VerPlank casket company of Iron City, Tennessee. Since then, the "Masterpiece" underwent only some very minor changes (with regard to the handles for example). Thus, the silver finished 48oz double lid "Masterpiece Twin seal" shown in the VerPlank Online catalog still looks more or less the same as Marilyn Monroe's casket.

The affair of JFK and Marilyn Monroe?

If you are asking whether there really was such an affair, it is widely believed that there was one: over the years, a number of tabloids and even a few credible reporters have surmised that the two were intimately involved. The problem is that if the affair really did occur, we lack conclusive proof beyond the various rumors. Keep in mind that it would have happened in a time when journalists kept the private lives of politicians secret. There was no internet, no 24 hour cable news, no smart-phones with cameras; and it was thus much easier for a politician to be indiscrete and get away with it. We do know John F. Kennedy, along with other powerful men of his era, did not remain faithful to his wife. But whether Marilyn was one of his lovers, or whether they just flirted with each other may never really be known for certain.

What is Marilyn Monroe nickname?

How much is Marilyn Monroe 1993 Franklin mint doll worth?

It all depends. Is it on a photo, cheque, or paper? If its on a photo or plain paper then its worth less than if it was on a letter or cheque. Letters and cheques are more personal and uncover a small amount of her day to day life.

Also, if it is written in pencil its worth less than if written in ink (pencil fades). If its ink and the ink is red, its more than likely its secretarial, meaning her entourage signed it for her. She did use red ink sometimes, not often, but mainly black, blue or green.

Taking everything in consideration, if you do believe its genuine, it could be worth anything from £1,500 - £5,000.

Did joe dimaggio kill Marilyn Monroe?

Joe DeMaggio played baseball. Its all about rounders..He just wound it up.

There is no reliable evidence whatsoever that anyone other than attention-hound Lee Harvey Oswald was responsible for the murders of Kennedy and Tippett. Unless you are one of those who believe, on no evidence at all, that it was an Illuminati Reptilian Skull and Bones Trilateral Rothchilds Bilderberger Zionist Nazi Mafia CIA NWO conspiracy. If DiMaggio did it, why did Oswald shoot Tippett and try to shoot other policemen?
