Höre Suzie Kennedy: Living With Marilyn Monroe

I am joined by Marilyn Monroe's most published author, Marilyn Monroe, to celebrate the news that Marilyn Monroe's home has been saved from demolition thanks to the fans and the fantastic Los Angeles Councilwoman Traci Parks.   It is early days, but this is excellent news for protecting the legacy of many of the icons and historical places in Hollywood and the legacy of Marilyn Monroe.  We look at the process of how the permit was signed and the story of the last 72 hours. We celebrate the great work of the fans and Councilwoman Traci Parks and the way she paid tribute to Marilyn Monroe.

Are they really demolishing the home where Marilyn Monroe died? In this episode, I have guests Michelle Morgan, the world's most published biographer of Marilyn Monroe and Kelly Lacroix, owner of the Instagram photo archive account of Marilyn Monroe @Silver_technicolor and historian on the relationship between Marilyn Monroe and Joe Dimaggio. We discuss the breaking news of the possible demolition of the last home of Marilyn Monroe and the home where she passed away.  This is a developing story, and this episode was recorded on the 6th of september 2023 when the story had just broken.

In this episode I am joined by the world's most published Marilyn Monroe author and Marilyn historian Michelle Morgan. We separate where Netflix 'Blonde' blurred fact and fiction.

After watching the Netflix movie 'Blonde' , I give my thoughts on it prior to its main release on  on Netflix on the 28th Septemember 2022

An exclusive interview with Scott Fortner from The Marilyn Monroe Collection who first broke the story about Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn’s dress. The Marilyn Monroe collection is a collection of authentic personal and professional clothing and artefacts from Marilyn Monroe’s life. This is the  first in person interview Scott Fortner  has given to express his views on Kim Kardashian wearing the historical Marilyn Monroe Happy Birthday dress.  We also talk about how he protects  his archive of Marilyn Monroe's personal clothing. I ask him if he would  allow a celebrity to wear any part of his collection? A fun moment was when I asked a  personal question about one of the  items he owns , Marilyn Monroes’ address book from 1962 and I get a shock with his answer . I felt like @piersmorgan with a scoop ! What a star Scott Fortner is. A fun, kind caring person and a professional . His collection is exhibited internationally with care and respect. He is also a leading expert in authenticating Marilyn Monroe owned items and is called upon by Julien's Auction House to authenticate Marilyn items that come up for sale.  Keep up to date by following @marilynmonroecollection on instagram.   Listen to the full interview at Suzie Kennedy: Living with marilyn , the podcast.
