In her brief lifetime, the larger-than-lifeMarilyn Monroe was married three times.
In 1952, Monroe was introduced to her future husband, Joe DiMaggio.
In January 1954, they made their union official and married at San Francisco City Hall.
Monroe and DiMaggio’s marriage was anything but perfect, as the two fought constantly.
PerPage Six, the note stated, “Dear Joe, I know I was wrong!
Lovingly, your wife (for life) Mrs. J.P.
In October 1954, the world-famous couple called it quits after 10 months of marriage.
Monroe wrote"mental cruelty"as the reason behind the split in her divorce paperwork.
Like Monroe’s apology note, this letter was later sold at auction.
It said (viaKQED), “I love you and want to be with you …
When Monroe died on August 5, 1962, DiMaggio made arrangements for her funeral.
He also made sure her grave had fresh roses until 1982.
Because I think he helped contribute to her demise.
I’m firmly convinced that if he had behaved differently, they would have had a good marriage.
He destroyed it and he felt that guilt.”
DiMaggio and Monroe remain one of Hollywood’s most legendary couples.
