And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Queen Elizabeth and Marilyn Monroe were born in the same year, 1926. This is them meeting at a movie premiere in London 1956, both at the age of 30.
I think that is Victor Mature. Marilyn was a beauty, strangely delicate, but a tortured soul, her weaknesses preyed upon by the unscrupulous. But the Queen: What a woman. Savor the experience of her, existing, while you can. There are none to replace her.
Two gorgeous women
ReplyDeleteBoth women were/are iconic.
ReplyDeleteA question- Is that Victor Mature?
ReplyDeleteA follow up question- Is he checking out Her Highness's royal cleavage???
Born the same day, but Queenie wasn't fooling around with the Kennedy males. That's why she's still with us.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn Monroe is my first cousin, according to an uncle whom most of my relatives don't believe, or so I thought, until another cousin confirmed it.
ReplyDeleteBoth of us were adopted, so she's not my relative by blood.
Anyway, I think it makes for a pretty good story, even if it's not true.
But, what if it is?

Even now the Queen has a winning smile. I imagine she knows exactly how the game is played and no one cross her. Tough old bird but with grace.

ReplyDeleteIf you zoom up,
ReplyDeleteThe Queen appears quite fresh-faced while Marilyn already looks to have a few miles of bad road on her. Pity.
