Anna and Marilyn were described as the two hottest Blondes on the planet!! It was through Anna that Marilyn met Albert Einstein the greatest Scientist in the world. From 1955-1959 Marilyn was intimate with Einstein and he was always impressed with her intellectual curiosity about the Universe. There is a famous picture of Albert Einstein on a couch, on one side is Anna Kreisling, on the other is Marilyn Monroe! They almost look like twin sisters!! Both Blonde Bombshells!!
