Marilyn Monroe & Joe DiMaggio: Love In Japan, Korea & Beyond: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Marilyn Monroe & Joe DiMaggio: Love In Japan, Korea & Beyond" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The story of Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio is a timeless tale. Both of these legends had extraordinary careers in their individual fields, as well as remarkable existences.

This book chronicles each of their lives, from the days before they met, until that magical night in 1952 when their paths finally crossed.

Their lives would never be the same after that.

Though their marriage lasted for nine months, their love endured beyond those years and Joes heart yearned for no one else, even at his deathbed thirty-seven years after her untimely passing.

This account shares of their love and focuses on their marriage in 1954, and their trip to Japan and her trip to Korea, during the nearly one month time span that the couple was in the Far East together.

A segment of the authors collection of rare and unpublished photographs of both stars are featured within this EPUB edition, some never before seen since they were taken approximately sixty years ago in Japan and Korea. Due to file size constraints with file delivery via EPUB that inhibits image quality, the print version of the book has the expanded selection of photos from the author's collection, as well as memorabilia from both of the stars.

This book weaves in elements about baseball, entertainment, the military, the tragedies of stardom, and above all, the love Marilyn and Joe shared.

The story told here unveils other characters in the casts of both of their lives, including interviews with family members of Marilyn Monroe, headed by Marilyns second cousin, Jason Edward Kennedy.

This book begins to also debunk the myths and propaganda about the life and death of Marilyn Monroe. Additionally, controversy within Joes final days is also explored.

Marilyn Monroe & Joe DiMaggio Love In Japan, Korea & Beyond, is the first book in the series endorsed by MarilynMonroeFamily.com, the website run by the relatives of William Marion Hogan, Marilyn Monroes great-uncle.

Preface

It was a match made in media heaven, between the King ofBaseball and Queen of Hollywood, often coined by the press as "Mr.and Mrs. America."

For Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio it was a unionon paper that would only last nine months beginning sixty years agoon January 14, 1954 -- nearly one of those months in thatthree-quarters of 1954 was spent overseas in Japan and Korea.

There was a preamble, however, to this legal bindingin the form of their courtship, which endured just shy of two yearsprior to their marriage.

As a postscript to their marital love story, inspite of their separate paths, Marilyn and Joe eventually connectedagain. Joe remained Marilyns champion and suitor in shining armoruntil and beyond her untimely death.

In addition, 2014 marks a specialtime in the legacy of Joe DiMaggio. This year, Joe DiMaggio wouldhave celebrated his 100 th Birthday on November 25. Acentury ago, a baby blessed the planet with his presence. He wouldachieve such greatness in the sports world, that even more thanseventy years after he achieved an incredible personal record knownas The Streak, it still remains unbroken.
