Publisher's Summary

"We're calling her Marilyn Monroe." Those were the words 12-year-old Jane Lawrence remembered when she was asked to head the up-and-coming blonde starlet's fan club at 20th Century Fox under the supervision of studio head Darryl Zanuck. Jane was no stranger to movie sets or movie stars, being that her father, Sidney Lipsitch, headed RKO's legal department. She spent many Saturday afternoons at her home with the likes of Robert Mitchum, Lucille Ball, and Ethel Merman, but helping launch the career of one of the world's most legendary sex symbols was a task beyond Jane's wildest dreams. Nearly four decades later, author Tony Jerris was introduced to Jane through a mutual friend and learned how Jane's working relationship with the actress developed into a special friendship that lasted right up until Marilyn's untimely death on August 5th, 1962.

Excellent … I’m beyond moved

Seldom do we fully know anyone at all, even if we haven known them for years. It seems as though Jane saw a side of Marilyn that nobody else saw. The loving, vulnerable and possibly most “truthful” version of Marylin…Although Marilyn was not able to fully and openly live in her truth, the relationship her and Jane shared was as close to the truth she could get without jeopardizing the career she worked so hard for.

At the end of the audiobook, my eyes were full of tears. I felt Marilyn’s pain. I felt Jane’s heartache… and the rest of my emotions were bittersweet as I recounted their joyful memories together. This book is so wonderfully put together and so well written. I felt like a bystander, a fly on the wall, taking in the story of Jane and Marilyn…

I want to say thank you to the Author for bringing this story out of the woodworks. Thank you for Jane, for Marilyn and of course, for myself. My heart has been warmed, my eyes are full. We all want to be fully seen and understood as human beings, don’t we…. And that’s exactly what this book has provided — a clear looking glass into the hearts and the souls of these two women. Rest their souls.
