extrait de "Marilyn- The Ultimate Look At The Legend" de James Haspiel:
Le 24 juin 1956 , s'est avéré être une soirée incroyable. La presse traquait Monroe et Arthur Miller, car maintenant le mot était qu'il y allait y avoir un mariage. Cette nuit là Miller essayait de faire sortir Monroe de la ville pour la quiétude de la campagne du Connecticut. Miller était au volant d'un break , maintenant garé devant le 2 Sutton Place South; chargé des bagages de Monroe, et la presse de regarder avec vivacité le break tels des faucons. Soudain, Miller est sorti du bâtiment seul, monta dans le véhicule et pris rapidement la fuite. Les journalistes et les photographes n'étaient pas vraiment intéressé par lui tout seul, ils étaient intéressés par elle, par eux ! Ainsi, le break disparu au-dessus de la zone de l'avenue York et la 61e rue , à rester là à attendre Monroe . Un taxi a été appelé à l'alcôve de stationnement du 2 Sutton Place South, la portière du passager maintenant ouverte et en attendant son prochain tarif. Un peu dans le flou, Marilyn est soudainement apparue à travers la porte d'entrée et a boulonné dans le taxi avec les flashs d'éclairage sur son chemin, et le taxi a démarré.
Le groupe des Monroe Six n'étaient pas là ce soir, et je traînais avec Nathan Puckett , qui était venu à New York du Michigan pour voir Marily , et a été le président de l'un des nombreux clubs de fans de Monroe. Nate a proposer de payer un taxi pour suivre celui de Marilyn, nous en avons donc pris un après elle, et l'un des photographes de presse a également suivi. Je me souviens très bien que le taxi de Marilyn remontait sur le côté ouest de l'avenue York, à la 61e rue; le break était garé sur le côté Est de l'avenue, et l'avenue était alors (et probablement encore) pavée. Elle sortit du taxi, et elle courait à travers les pavés dans ses très hauts talons, courant à travers le trafic dense venant en sens inverse pour atteindre le break, avec le photographe de presse solitaire à sa poursuite, et Nate et moi assis en émoi dans notre taxi, à une cinquantaine de mètres. Monroe a couru vers le côté passager de la voiture familiale, Miller avait déjà mis le moteur en route, et comme elle a atteint la porte, le photographe parvint jusqu'à elle, posa sa main sur son épaule et, avec tous ses muscle , se balançait autour de Monroe et la jeta durement contre le côté du break ! Elle est presque tombée par terre alors qu'il soulevait son appareil photo pour prendre une photo d'elle. Miller est sorti de la voiture et, sans faire attention que ce soit un photographe de presse, il aida simplement Marilyn à monter dans le break, se tenant lui-même derrière la roue, et ils ont démarré, accélérant sur l'avenue York . Et nous avons redémarré aussi.
Nous avons grillé cinq feux rouges pour suivre le véhicule de Miller, et enfin, à un certain point de uptown, je pense aux alentours de la 110ème rue, la voiture est entrée dans la East River Drive, pour aller dans le Connecticut! Notre taxi s'est rangé près du trottoir et (rappelez-vous , c'était encore en 1956) le compteur affichait 95 cents. Rappelez-vous, aussi, que ce chauffeur avait traversé cinq feux rouges pour nous, et maintenant, le jeune garçon du Michigan, sans le bon sens du citadin, lui a remis un billet unique d'un dollar, accordant: "Vous pouvez garder la monnaie !" Un pourboire nickel ! Si je me souviens bien, je sors du taxi et paris vite à toute hâte.
June 24th 1956, turned out to be an incredible evening. The press was hounding Monroe and Arthur Miller, because by now the word was out that there was going to be a marriage. That night Miller was trying to get Monroe out of the city and up to the quietude of the Connecticut countryside. Miller was driving a station wagon, now parked in front of 2 Sutton Place South; it was packed with Monroe's luggage, and the Press were keenly watching the station wagon like hawks. Suddenly, Miller came out of the building alone, got into the vehicle and quickly sped away. The reporters and photographers really weren't interested in him solo, they were interested in her, in them! So, the station wagon disappeared over to the area at York Avenue and 61st Street, to sit there and wait for Monroe. A taxicab was summoned to the parking alcove at 2 Sutton Place South, the passenger door now open and awaiting its next fare. Not unlike a blur, Marilyn suddenly appeared through the front door and bolted into the taxicab with flashbulbs lighting her way, and the cab took off.
The Monroe Six were not around that evening, and I was hanging out with Nathan Puckett, who had come to New York City from Michigan to see Marilyn, and was the president of one of Monroe's many fan clubs. Nate offered to pay for a taxicab to follow Marilyn's cab, so we took off after her, and one of the press photographers also followed. I vividly recall that Marilyn's taxicab pulled up to the west side of York Avenue at 61st Street; the station wagon was parked on the east side of the avenue, and the avenue was then (and probably still is) paved with cobblestones. She got out of the cab, and she was running across the cobblestones in her very high heels, running through the oncoming traffic to reach the station wagon, with the lone press photographer in hot pursuit, and Nate and I sitting agog in our taxicab, some fifty feet away. Monroe raced around to the passenger side of the station wagon, Miller already gunning the motor, and as she reached for the door, the photographer got right up to her, put his hand on her shoulder and, with all his muscle, swung Monroe around and threw her hard up against the side of the station wagon! She almost fell to the ground as he raised his camera to take a picture of her. Miller got out of the car and, paying no attention whatsoever to the press photographer, he simply assisted Marilyn into the station wagon, got himself back behind the wheel, and they took off, speeding up York Avenue. And we took off too.
We drove through five red lights following the Miller vehicle, and finally at some point uptown, I think around 110th Street, the car entered into the East River Drive, to go on up to Connecticut! Our cab pulled over the curb and (remember, it was still 1956) the meter read 95 cents. Remember, too, that this driver had gone through five red lights for us, and now the young lad from Michigan, with no sign of city-savvy, handed him a single dollar bill, allowing, 'You can keep the change!' A nickel tip! As I recall, I hustled myself out and away from the taxicab in a hurry.
