Vie privée


lot n°731: Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio wire photo from their wedding day
Gelatin-silver print, 7 in. x 9 in. UPI wire photo (not trimmed, this is correct size for this medium) dated 1/14/[1954] announcing the marriage by civil ceremony of Marilyn Monroe to Joe DiMaggio. Friends close to both reported later that Marilyn informed her studio press agent ahead of time, unbeknownst to Joe who wanted a quiet and very private event. This kind of discord likely contributed heavily to the marriage lasting a mere nine months. Wire photos tend to be much more ephemeral than studio publicity material, as they were the “fax” of the time for news organizations to spread images quickly, and tended to be discarded immediately. This example remains in exceptional condition for a print of its type.

Estimate: $300 - $500

lot n°732: Marilyn Monroe’s platinum and diamond
eternity wedding band given to her by Joe DiMaggio

A platinum eternity band set with 35 baguette-cut diamonds (one diamond missing just as it was at the Christie’s Personal Property of Marilyn Monroe sale in 1999), VS1 clarity with a total carat weight of 3.5 (when all diamonds were present), given to Marilyn Monroe by Joe DiMaggio on their wedding day on January 14, 1954.

After Marilyn did some publicity photographs wearing a sexy short-skirted baseball outfit in the winter of 1951-1952, DiMaggio saw the pictures and learned that she was a rising Hollywood starlet and was determined to meet her as soon as possible. They were introduced at an Italian restaurant on Sunset Boulevard and DiMaggio was surprised to learn that she had never attended a baseball game and knew practically nothing about the game. For his part, DiMaggio was suspicious of Hollywood and its invented idolatry. Despite this, the couple had an immediate and palpable chemistry; Marilyn was drawn to this calm, handsome ex-ballplayer while DiMaggio was smitten by her considerable charm and a passionate romance was instantly ignited.

The two were married in an intimate civil ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, out of the spotlight, a rarity for both of them. DiMaggio’s friend Reno Barsocchini and his old San Francisco Seals manager, Francis Joseph “Lefty” O’Doul, together with O’Doul’s wife and the judge were the only people in attendance. Marilyn had no loved ones present. Standing beside Joe, holding three orchids, she promised to “love, honor and cherish.” When the orchids withered in her perspiring hands, she turned to Joe and asked that if she died before him, would he place flowers at her grave every week, like William Powell had done at the grave of Jean Harlow? Joe promised that he would.

When the ceremony was completed, the newly married couple exited the courtroom to over 100 reporters, fans and autograph hounds. Unbeknownst to Joe, Marilyn had shared the news with studio publicity chief, Harry Brand. The newlyweds were photographed kissing and submitted to a barrage of questions including famously, “How many children did they plan?” “I’d like to have six,” Marilyn responded. “One,” said Joe.

The dreams of America’s favorite couple were short-lived as the couple’s relationship was strained from the outset. On September 15, 1954 during filming of the famous subway grate sequence of The Seven Year Itch, DiMaggio was urged by friend Walter Winchell to come view the spectacle that was taking place on Lexington Avenue. DiMaggio relented and witnessed the iconic scene of Marilyn astride the subway vent with white dress billowing upward. DiMaggio was furious and stormed off. Two weeks later, Marilyn filed a petition for divorce; the marriage lasting only nine months.


In February, 1961, Monroe was admitted to the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic where she contacted DiMaggio. He secured her release and she spent some time with him in Florida where the couple reconciled. True to his promise, after her death, DiMaggio continued to send one half-dozen roses to her crypt three times a week for 20 years. Unlike Marilyn’s other husbands or others who knew her, DiMaggio refused to talk publicly about her, the woman he loved more than any other.

Provenance: Christie’s Personal Property of Marilyn Monroe, Lot 10, October 27-28, 1999 and sold for $772,500.

Estimate: $300 000 - $500 000

lot n°723: Marilyn Monroe signed check to her housekeeper, Eunice Murray
Personal check signed, 3 in. x 8 ¼ in., dated July 10, 1962 and drawn from Marilyn Monroe’s account paying her housekeeper Eunice Murray $100.00. Signed “Marilyn Monroe” in blue ink. Cancellation stamps on recto and verso and bearing Murray’s endorsement signature on the verso. Murray was Monroe’s housekeeper during the last years of her life and accompanied Monroe during her trip to Mexico in February, 1962. Eunice Murray was staying with Monroe the night of the star’s death and reportedly called Monroe’s psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, upon discovering the body the night of August 5, 1962. This check was signed just three weeks prior to Monroe’s death and amazingly stamped “PAID” on August 7, two days after she died. A wonderful association.
Estimate: $1 500 - $2 500
21604_0723_1_lg 


 lot n°724: Joe DiMaggio autograph postcard signed to Marilyn Monroe
Autograph Postcard Signed, “Joe,” to “Dearest Marilyn” from Copenhagen, Denmark and postmarked May 20, 1962. DiMaggio pens, “Dearest Marilyn, Have a short stop over here at Copenhagen enroute for the ‘long underwear country.’ Should be there in about three hours. Spent nine days here in 1958. Wonderful country. The famous Tivoli park was one of my favorite places. Love, Joe.” Addressed in DiMaggio’s hand to “Miss Marilyn Monroe, 12305 Fifth Helena Dr., Los Angeles 49, California, USA.” In February, 1961, Monroe was admitted to the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic where she contacted DiMaggio. He secured her release and she spent some time with him in Florida where the couple reconciled. Accompanied by a printed photograph of the couple on their wedding day
Estimate: $4 000 - $6 000

  lot n°737: Marilyn Monroe invitation to JFK birthday celebration with call sheet from her personal property
From the Christie’s 1999 sale of the personal property of Marilyn Monroe, three items for one event which document one of the most significant personal moments for her. In chronological sequence, the first is the personal invitation from “New York’s Birthday Salute to the President” requesting her presence at Madison Square Garden on May 19, 1962 to celebrate President John F. Kennedy’s birthday gala party; the second is a 2pp mimeo call-sheet for the evening’s order of events, detailing Marilyn’s appearance at #35, “Marilyn Monroe and Stars”, which an unknown hand has doodled what might be a stage, and written in red grease pencil, with corrections in graphite, “Who do you have to be to ask- Who do you have to be to be disappointment-“ ; the last is the official illustrated program for the birthday event with iconic portrait of Kennedy on cover, with red, white and blue patriotic design. All three items were the personal examples in Marilyn Monroe’s possession during the time of this historic event, for which she performed an extraordinarily sexy, breathy rendition of “Happy Birthday”to the President (even calling in sick to work at Fox in order to do so), and each shows extra folds and slight handling by her, presumably to secure inside a purse that night. Kennedy remarked on stage that he could retire from politics after such a performance; Peter Lawford introduced her as “the late Marilyn Monroe”, and sadly she would be gone to a mysterious death in just over two months.
Provenance: Christie’s Personal Property of Marilyn Monroe, Lot 54, October 27-28, 1999 and sold for $129,000.

Estimate: $40 000 - $60 000

Peintures


 lot n°736: Marilyn Monroe portrait by Romeo Catozella
after a Modern Screen magazine cover

From her personal property - Acrylic on canvas, 28 in. x 22 in. (incorrectly catalogued by Christie’s as oil) executed by artist and Marilyn Monroe fan Romeo Catozella of New York, and gifted to her. Based on a 1955 Modern Screen magazine cover photo portrait of Marilyn, and kept by her until her death in 1962. Includes an issue of the 1955 Modern Screen magazine. Provenance: Christie’s 1999 Personal Property of Marilyn Monroe, Lot 346, $23,000.

Estimate: $10 000 - $15 000
21604_0736_1_lg 21604_0736_2_lg 21604_0736_3_lg 


   lot n°738: Nude oil painting of Marilyn Monroe by Earl Moran
Original colorful painting by Earl Moran of a young and nude Marilyn Monroe in a prone pose painted from life circa 1948-1949. Accomplished in oil on board measuring 23 ½ in. x 35 ½ in. Signed “Earl Moran” at the lower right. Matted and framed.

Earl Moran (1893-1984) was the most important pin-up artist of the period. He studied with the legendary anatomist George Bridgman at the Art Students League in Manhattan, and after moving to Chicago in 1931, opened a small photograph and illustration studio. He submitted some paintings of models in bikinis to two calendar companies, Brown and Bigelow and Thomas D. Murphy Company, both of which purchased his work and launched his career. One year later he signed an exclusive contract with Brown and Bigelow and sold millions of calendars for the company over the next few years.
He moved to Hollywood in 1946 when a young starlet named Norma Jeane Dougherty was sent to his Sunset Boulevard studio by the Blue Book Agency. Over the next four years, Marilyn came by once a month for a two-hour modeling session. After Moran chose a costume, the models would assume dozens of poses while he peered through his camera’s 20-pound lens. He generally worked in pastels traced in charcoal from his print, but this is one of only a few oils he did and without a doubt his very best subject.
The photograph he worked from for this sitting was taken by Moran’s wife, and shows Marilyn lying prone and topless on cushions while wearing bikini briefs. As she became more comfortable during the session she removed the briefs and allowed Moran to complete the painting of her completely nude and adding a stylized colorful pillow-like base. Marilyn’s beaming smile is a testament to her comfort and natural demeanor while posing for Moran.
Of all the models he worked with he thought Monroe was the sexiest, “better than anyone else…She expressed just what I wanted.” They met for the last time on the set of There’s No Business Like Show Business (1954). Marilyn embraced Moran telling him she loved the way he made her legs look wonderful. Certainly no better endorsement for this fine painting.
The consignor was a Moran pin-up model and a close friend of Earl Moran who gifted her the painting in the 1960s.  

Estimate: $70 000 - $90 000

Présentation: At long last, June DiMaggio, niece of baseball legend Joe DiMaggio and a dear friend of Marilyn Monroe for 11 years, tells untold stories of the two legendary, very private stars that are insightful, fun and engaging. She also reveals what her family knew all along: Marilyn was more than a movie star and sex symbol... And her death was anything but suicide.

The DiMaggio family was very private then, and still is today. In fact, no book has ever been written by a member of Joe DiMaggio’s clan until now. No other book has firsthand stories told by someone who was there. June DiMaggio has been around celebrities since she was a child. A music theater star in her own right, June befriended Marilyn as well as other stars in Hollywood in the ’50s. She well understood that the real light of Marilyn Monroe was much more luminous than the sexy star power promoted by Hollywood. In Marilyn, Joe & Me, we can finally see Marilyn Monroe for who she was—intelligent, warm, funny, generous of spirit, good-hearted, well-read, articulate and a delightful, loving friend. Candid and full of charm and character, June tells it the way it was: She sets the record straight, and she pulls no punches in describing Hollywood behind the glitz and glitter of the studios and cameras.

Now in her late 70s, June finally reveals what the DiMaggio family knew all along: Their beloved Marilyn did not commit suicide—she was murdered. The family never discussed the subject. June’s mother went to her grave knowing the identity of Marilyn’s murderer— sharing it with no one. An article on Marilyn’s death in the December 2005 issue of Playboy included an excerpt from Marilyn, Joe & Me.

Marilyn, Joe & Me is filled with never-before-published photos that capture the essence of the people and the times: exclusive pictures of Marilyn in the production of her last film, Thes Misfits, and a treasury of DiMaggio family snapshots.

Fin 1953, San Francisco - Marilyn et des amis de DiMaggio

Fin de l'année 1953, Marilyn Monroe rend visite aux voisins de Marie DiMaggio - soeur de Joe - à San Francisco. Sur l'une des photographies, Helen Rizzo, la maîtresse de maison, est assise à côté de Marilyn et la tient par le cou. Sur l'autre photographie, c'est la soeur d'Helen, Rose, venue spécialement de New York pour voir Marilyn, qui la regarde étonnemment.
Au dos de l'une des photos, Helen a écrit: "Marilyn avait une éruption cutanée sur le visage à l'époque et ne voulait pas être photographiée, mais Rose a insisté. Marilyn accepta tant que cela restait en noir et blanc". 

1953_end_dimaggios_voisins_2  rare_mm_dimaggio_family salon_marilyn_embed1 

End of the year 1953: Marilyn Monroe visits the neighbors of Marie DiMaggio - Joe's sister - in San Francisco. On the one photograph, Helen Rizzo, the housewife, is sat next to Marilyn, given to her an affectionate hug. On the other photograph, that's Rose, the sister of Helen, who came specially from New York to see Marilyn, who looks at her stunningly. 
On the back of the photo, Helen wrote: “Marilyn had a rash on her face at the time and didn’t want to be photographed, but Rose insisted. Marilyn agreed as long as it was black & white.”

06/10/1954 Conférence de presse: Annonce du Divorce

Pendant le tournage de The Seven Year Itch (Sept ans de réflexion), des bruits commencent à courir à propos d'une crise conjugale au sein du couple Marilyn Monroe - Joe DiMaggio. Après un voyage d'une petite semaine à New York et Cleveland où il commentait des matchs de base-ball, Joe est de retour le 2 octobre 1954: Marilyn lui fait savoir son intention de divorcer. Elle engage l'avocat Jerry Giesler. Les médias sont vite avertis par le service publicité de la Fox et le 5 octobre, des hordes de journalistes se pressent devant la maison que Marilyn et Joe partagent au 508 North Palm Drive, à Beverly Hills.
Le 6 octobre 1954, une conférence de presse est organisée.

Le matin du 6 octobre, Joe DiMaggio quitte la maison, emportant ses affaires avec l'aide de son ami Reno Barsocchini, ancien partenaire de base-ball. Il dit aux journalistes qu'il quittait Los Angeles pour San Francisco et ne remettrait pas les pieds dans la maison que Marilyn et lui avaient loué. Mais il refuse de parler du divorce car il ne prend pas trop cette demande de divorce au sérieux et gardait sérieusement l'espoir que Marilyn change d'avis.

Marilyn Monroe sort enfin, accompagnée discrètement de Sidney Skolsky et cherchant le soutien de son avocat Jerry Gielser, qui livre à la presse l'annonce officielle de la demande de divorce de Marilyn contre Joe DiMaggio. Devant les photographes, Marilyn est au bord des larmes et ne prononcera pas un mot.
Jerry Giesler: "Elle n'a rien à dire si ce n'est que la demande de divorce est due à des divergences professionnelles."

1954_10_06_divorce_joe_by_georges_silk_04_5aUn témoin décrit la scène et l'apparition de Marilyn comme digne d'un Oscar de la meilleure comédie. Il semble que Marilyn ait orchestré son attitude d'épouse déplorée, afin de gagner la sympathie du public. Bien qu'elle était sans doute affectée par le naufrage de son mariage, elle joue un peu la comédie, feintant de pleurer en se cachant derrière un mouchoir, pour montrer au public qu'elle n'était pas l'instigatrice du différend au sein du couple (Joe aurait voulu qu'elle stoppe sa carrière et Marilyn n'était pas prête à jouer les femmes au foyer). L'attitude violente de Joe et sa jalousie excessive ne seront bien évidemment pas mentionnées aux médias.

Après la conférence de presse, Marilyn quitte la maison dans la voiture de son avocat et se rend aux studios de la Fox où elle devait terminer des scènes de The Seven Year Itch. Elle rentrera chez elle quelques heures plus tard. On raconte qu'elle téléphonait à Joe tous les soirs.

Beaucoup s'interrogèrent sur les raisons de la faillite du mariage, après seulement neuf mois d'union, de ce couple si bien assorti. Marilyn dira plus tard: "C'était une sorte d'amitié, cinglée et difficile, avec quelques avantages sexuels. Plus tard, j'ai appris que c'était souvent le lot de tout mariage".

Le lendemain, le 7 octobre 1954, Marilyn tourne les scènes en pyjama rose dans The Seven Year Itch, une des scènes comiques du film. Quand à Joe DiMaggio, il tient une conférence de presse à San Francisco, où il est parti s'installer, dans sa maison près de la plage; il refuse de commenter la séparation d'avec Marilyn et déclare simplement vouloir prendre un long repos.

27/10/1954 Divorce prononcé

Le 27 octobre 1954, Marilyn Monroe se rend au tribunal de Santa Monica, en Californie, pour le jugement de son divorce d'avec Joe DiMaggio. Elle est épaulée par son ami Sidney Skolsky, mais aussi accompagnée par son avocat Jerry Giesler. Pour la circonstance, Marilyn est toute vêtue de noir, élégante dans un tailleur classique, un petit chapeau noir et des gants blancs, comme si elle était en deuil. Elle arbore autour de son cou le collier de perles que lui avait offert l'empereur japonais lors de sa lune de miel en Asie. Dès leur arrivée, le trio (Marilyn, Skolsky et Giesler) sont assaillis par les photographes et caméramen.

Au tribunal, Marilyn est assise devant le juge Orlando H. Rhodes. Elle témoigne pendant dix minutes:
"Joe est froid et indifférent, il est lunatique et peut ne pas m'adresser la parole pendant plusieurs jours... Quand j'essaie de lui parler, il ne me répond pas ou me dit: 'Laisse moi tranquille! Arrête de m'ennuyer'. (...) Il m’interdit de recevoir des visites, en neuf mois, je n’ai reçu que trois fois des amis.".

Natasha Lytess avait proposé à Marilyn de témoigner en sa faveur mais Marilyn a refusé. Seule Inez Melson, la conseillère financière de Marilyn, apporte un témoignage:
"Mr DiMaggio était complètement indifférent et se souciait peu du bonheur de Mrs DiMaggio. Je l’ai vu la repousser et lui dire de lui ficher la paix".

Marilyn appose sa signature sur les papiers du divorce. Ses yeux se remplirent de larmes quand le juge annonça: "Divorce accordé", au motif de "cruauté mentale" (qui équivaut à l'incompatiblité d'humeur en France). Il ne sera cependant officiel que l'année suivante, en octobre 1955, prononcé par le juge Elmer Doyle.

Joe DiMaggio était absent et ne fera pas appel. Mais il ne renoncait pas à annuler le divorce: la veille du jugement, il était à Los Angeles, prétextant qu'il était venu voir son fils. Et le jour même du divorce, il convoque la presse pour dire qu'il n'avait pas perdu l'espoir d'une réconciliation, en déclarant: "J'éspère qu'elle verra la lumière".
Quand à Marilyn, elle était certainement perdue dans ses sentiments: d'un côté, elle déclare à la presse qu'elle n'avait pas d'homme dans sa vie, en tenant une interview la veille du jugement (sa première interview depuis la séparation), tout en se préparant à persuader le juge de la "cruauté mentale" de DiMaggio; et de l'autre côté, elle continuait à voir DiMaggio: on raconte même qu'elle aurait passé la nuit précédente et suivante de l'audience, avec Joe, chez Sinatra.

Le 1er septembre 1953, Marilyn Monroe et Robert Mitchum prennent l'avion à Seattle pour se rendre à Los Angeles. Marilyn porte un plâtre à sa jambe gauche et marche avec des béquilles, après s'être blessée à la cheville sur le tournage de River of no return (La rivière sans retour) au Canada. Le tournage des scènes extérieures au Canada étant bouclées, l'équipe du film retourne à Los Angeles pour terminer les prises de vues en studio. Marilyn est vêtue de la robe en laine qu'elle porte dans l'une des scènes du film Gentlemen prefer blondes (Les hommes préfèrent les blondes).

Les 28 et 29/01/1954 - Départ de San Francisco

Lune de miel au Japon
Honeymoon in Japan


.
Jeudi 28 janvier 1954
Thursday, January 28, 1954

.
Après le mariage de Marilyn avec Joe DiMaggio le 14 janvier et leur lune de miel dans les montagnes à l'abri des regards, Joe DiMaggio doit partir pour New York du à des obligations d'affaires (dont la participation à des émissions de télévision) où il y reste 4 jours (du 25 au 28 janvier) et Marilyn Monroe retourne à son appartement de Doheny Drive à Los Angeles.
.

  Dans la journée du 28 janvier, elle donne rendez-vous à son ami, le journaliste Sidney Skolsky, qui tient une rubrique des potins d'Hollywood dans la presse (son article sera publié dans le New York Post du 01/02/1954 - cf ci-contre). C'est suite au coup de téléphone de Skolsky que Marilyn lui propose de le voir. Elle va le chercher avec sa voiture et elle se stationne sous un arbre derrière une rue de Sunset Boulevard. Marilyn souhaite rester incognito: elle porte un polo jaune sous son manteau, un foulard sur la tête, des lunettes de soleil et pas de maquillage. Elle raconte à Skolsky sa lune de miel - très simple - dans un motel avec Joe dans les montagnes enneigées, où Joe lui a appris à jouer au billard. Elle lui explique aussi les raisons de son refus de faire le film que lui demande de faire les studios de la Fox "The Girl in Pink Tights" (titre traduit par "La Fille en collants roses"), justifiant le fait qu'elle n'aime pas le scénario bien qu'elle apprécie les chansons et qu'elle souhaiterait tourner avec Frank Sinatra, prévu au casting. Elle lui raconte qu'elle et Joe viennent de prendre la décision (depuis quelques heures) qu'elle accompagne Joe au Japon et qu'elle souhaite divertir les soldats là-bas et d'aller peut être en Corée tout en précisant que ce voyage sera "une continuation de la lune de miel".
.
After Marilyn's wedding to Joe DiMaggio on January 14 and their honeymoon in the mountains out of sight, Joe DiMaggio had to leave for New York due to business obligations (including participation in television shows) where he stayed there for 4 days (from January 25 to 28) and Marilyn Monroe returned to her apartment on Doheny Drive in Los Angeles.
.
During the day of January 28, she made an appointment with her friend, the journalist Sidney Skolsky, who runs a Hollywood gossip column in the press (his article will be published in the New York Post on 02/01/1954 - see above). It was following Skolsky's phone call that Marilyn suggested to meet him. She goes to pick him up with her car and parks under a tree behind a street on Sunset Boulevard. Marilyn wishes to remain incognito: she wears a yellow polo under her coat, a scarf on her head, sunglasses and no makeup. She tells Skolsky about her honeymoon - very simple - at a motel with Joe in the snowy mountains, where Joe taught her to play pool. She also explains to him the reasons for her refusal to make the film that Fox studios asked her to make "The Girl in Pink Tights", justifying the fact that she does not like the scenario although she appreciates the songs and that she would like to film with Frank Sinatra, scheduled for casting. She tells him that she and Joe have just made the decision (a few hours ago) that she will accompany Joe to Japan and that she wants to entertain the soldiers there and perhaps go to Korea while specifying that this trip will be "a continuation of the honeymoon".

La presse américaine (The Los Angeles Times, The San Bernardino County Sun) rapportera que le couple a rencontré un problème pour l'établissement du passeport de Marilyn: elle n'avait en effet pas rapporté de photographie d'identité d'elle. Joe a du se rendre en précipitation au marché St Arcade pour faire une photocopie d'une photographie de Marilyn, revenant une demie-heure plus tard pour la donner au service des passeports. La presse indiquera qu'il ne s'agissait donc pas d'une véritable photo d'identité.
Néanmoins, on découvre que le passeport de Marilyn qui lui a été délivré pour son voyage au Japon, contient bien une photo d'identité de Marilyn. On ne peut donc que penser que le couple a donc été faire en urgence ces photographies.

The American press (The Los Angeles Times, The San Bernardino County Sun) reported that the couple encountered a problem in establishing Marilyn's passport: she had in fact not brought an identity photograph of herself. Joe had to rush to St Arcade Market to make a photocopy of a photograph of Marilyn, going back half an hour later to give it to the passport office. The press will indicate that it was therefore not a real identity photo.
However, we discover that Marilyn's passport which was issued to her for her trip to Japan does contain an identity photo of Marilyn. We can therefore only think that the couple had to urgently take these photographs.

Les raisons de ce voyage: C'est Lefty O'Doul, connu sous le nom de "Monsieur Base Ball" au Japon, qui a invité Joe DiMaggio pour participer à une tournée de présentation pour inaugurer la nouvelle saison de ce sport au Japon. Marilyn étant alors suspendue par la Fox, pour avoir refuser de tourner dans le film The Girl in pink tights, Joe demande à Marilyn de l'accompagner. C'est ainsi que la lune de miel de Marilyn et Joe, mariés depuis le 14 janvier, s'est greffée sur un voyage d'affaires financé par le journal japonais Yomiuri Shimbun, prévu de longue date par Joe et son témoin de mariage et ancien manager, Lefty O'Doul, mais auquel Marilyn s'y est ajoutée à la dernière minute. Ils partent tous les quatre -Joe, Marilyn, le couple O'Doul (Frank Lefty et sa femme Jean O'Doul)- pour Tokyo. Bobby Brown, ancien joueur de baseball qui est médecin dans un hôpital militaire à Tokyo -et qui deviendra plus tard physicien- sera aussi de la partie et les accompagnera sur place pour les diverses sorties au Japon.
.
The reasons for this trip: It was Lefty O'Doul, known as "Mr. Base Ball" in Japan, who invited Joe DiMaggio to participate in a roadshow to inaugurate the new season of this sport in Japan. Marilyn then being suspended by Fox studios, for refusing to make the movie The Girl in Pink Tights, Joe asks Marilyn to accompany him. This is how the honeymoon of Marilyn and Joe, married since January 14, was grafted onto a business trip financed by the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, planned for a long time by Joe and his wedding witness and former manager, Lefty O'Doul, but to which Marilyn was added at the last minute. The four of them leave -Joe, Marilyn, the O'Doul couple (Frank Lefty and his wife Jean O'Doul)- for Tokyo. Bobby Brown, a former baseball player who is a doctor in a military hospital in Tokyo - and who later became a physicist - will also be there and will accompany them for the various outings in Japan.
.


.
Départ de San Francisco: Marilyn Monroe et Joe DiMaggio, accompagnés de Lefty O'Doul (et sa femme Jean O'Doul qui accompagne son mari pour son départ - elle n'embarque pas avec eux ce jour là et les rejoindra plus tard), prennent l'avion (vol 831 de la Pan American) à l' aéroport international de San Francisco, un vol d'une durée de 9h30 en direction d'Honolulu, Hawaï, où il y a 41 autres passagers. Ils sont arrivés avec 30 minutes de retard, car Marilyn a eu son pouce cassé, qu'il a fallu faire bander par un docteur.
Les deux couples (DiMaggio et O'Doul) sont pris en charge par Kay Patterson, correspondante du journal japonais Yomiuri Shimbun en Californie, qui indiquera que: "Joe avait l'air parfaitement à son aise - il était le roi de San Francisco - et Marilyn étaita charmante, complètement amoureuse; elle ne cessait de le contempler, et ne cherchait pas du tout à tenir le premier rôle."
A l'aéroport, une cinquantaine d'admirateurs sont venus les saluer, ainsi qu'un groupe de reporters composés de journalistes, photographes et caméramen (leur montée d'avion sera filmée et diffusée dans les actualités).

Departure from San Francisco: Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio, accompanied by Lefty O'Doul (and his wife Jean O'Doul who accompanies her husband for his departure - she doesn't board with them that day and will join them later), take the plane (Pan American flight 831) in San Francisco international airport, a flight lasting 9h30 towards Honolulu, Hawaii, where there are 41 other passengers. They arrived 30 minutes late, because Marilyn had her thumb broken, which had to be bandaged by a doctor.
The two couples (DiMaggio and O'Doul) are taken care of by Kay Patterson, Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun in California, who will indicate that: "Joe looked perfectly at ease - he was the king of San Francisco - and Marilyn was charming, completely in love; she never stopped contemplating him, and was not at all looking for the leading role."
At the airport, about fifty admirers came to greet them, as well as a group of reporters made up of journalists, photographers and cameramen (their boarding the plane will be filmed and broadcast in the news).

Ils ont beaucoup de bagages, et Marilyn tient dans sa main une boîte à chapeaux, de la boutique 'Saks Fifth Avenue'. Elle est habillée sobrement (pas de décolleté car Joe déteste ça) avec un tailleur noir à la veste boutonnée et la jupe longue, et une petite écharpe à motifs léopard autour du cou, tenant un manteau de vison dont Marilyn explique qu'il s'agit d'un cadeau de Joe qui lui a fait du dernier Noël.
A la question des journalistes si Marilyn avait planifié de faire un film bientôt, elle leur dit: "Je ne sais pas. J'ai été suspendue, vous savez", expliquant pour le film qu'elle a refusé de faire (Pink Tights) "Je n'ai tout simplement pas aimé le scénario et c'est tout", mais en assurant qu'elle n'en avait pas "fini avec les films ou de n'importe quelle chose comme ça" et Joe d'ajouter fermement "Nous ne sommes pas concernés par ça pour l'instant. Nous sommes en lune de miel."
Joe dit aussi aux journalistes que Marilyn ira rendre visite aux soldats GI's soignés dans les hôpitaux au Japon, ce à quoi Marilyn ajoute "Oui, j'éspère le faire."
Marilyn déclare aux reporters être "extrêmement excitée par le voyage", expliquant "je ne suis jamais sortie du pays auparavant. En fait, je ne suis allée à New York que deux fois." (ce qui n'est pas tout à fait exact, elle a déjà traversée la frontière hors USA: elle est allée près de la frontière canadienne trois fois: en 1944 avec sa demie-soeur Berniece, en 1952 pour tourner "Niagara" et en 1953 pour tourner "La Rivière sans retour", ainsi qu'au Mexique en 1950 pour faire des achats de Noël à Tijuana avec Natasha Lytess et l'été 1953 en vacances avec Joe; elle avait aussi effectué une grande tournée à travers les Etats-Unis en 1949 pour promouvoir le film "La pêche au trésor"; mais il s'agit effectivement de son premier grand voyage loin des Etats-Unis). 
.
They have a lot of luggage, and Marilyn is holding a hat box from the 'Saks Fifth Avenue' store in her hand. She is dressed soberly (no lot cut dress because Joe hates that) with a buttoned black tailored suit, and a small leopard skin choker, carrying a mink coat which Marilyn explains is a gift from Joe who gave her last Christmas.
Asked by reporters if Marilyn had plans to make a film soon, she told them, "I don't know. I'm under suspension", explaining for the film she refused to make (Pink Tights): "I just didn't like the script and that's all there was to it", but assuring that she was not "through with the movies or anything like that" and Joe to add,
"We're not concerned about that now. We're on our honeymoon."

Joe also tells reporters that Marilyn will visit GI soldiers being treated in hospitals in Japan, to which Marilyn adds "Yes, I hope to do that."
Marilyn told reporters that she was "tremendously excited by the trip," explaining, "I've never been out of the country before. In fact, I've only been to New York twice." (which is not entirely true, she has already crossed the border outside the USA: she went near the Canadian border three times: in 1944 with her half-sister Berniece, in 1952 to film "Niagara" and in 1953 to film "The River of No Return ", also in Mexico in 1950 to do Christmas shopping in Tijuana with Natasha Lytess and the summer of 1953 on vacation with Joeshe also made a major tour across the United States in 1949 to promote the film "Love Happy"; but this is indeed her first major trip far from the United States).

Le mystère du pouce cassé: Les journalistes vont rapidement remarquer quelque chose d'anormal: Marilyn fait tout pour cacher sa main droite, la glissant dans son grand manteau de fourrure. Elle porte une attelle à son pouce. Assaillie par les questions, Marilyn finit par répondre, embarrassée: "Je me suis juste cognée. J'ai d'ailleurs un témoin. Joe était là. Il a entendu le craquement." Mais elle refuse de fournir plus de détails. Face à l'insistance des journalistes, Joe affirme que Marilyn se rendra dans un hôpital militaire où des soldats qui ont combattu en Corée sont soignés, dès qu'ils arriveront au Japon.

 En fait, de cette mésaventure, plusieurs explications seront données en off, tout comme la date de cet événement qui diffère selon les sources:
- Le journal San Francisco Examiner publie sa version le 01er février: "Marilyn a refusé d'en discuter. Nous répondrons donc à sa place. Il y a quelques nuits, dans un élan de vie domestique, elle a décidé d'aider Joe à casser du crabe dans la cuisine du restaurant DiMaggio. Elle utilisait un marteau. Elle l'a raté - et s'est cassé le pouce à la place du crabe. "Je me suis fracturée !", a crié Marilyn." Le journal n'indique aucune source de provenance de cette histoire.
- Le journal The San Bernardino County Sun remarque dans ses colonnes du 30 janvier qu'elle a le pouce cassé, rapportant que Marilyn s'est cognée et qu'elle avait eu Joe pour témoin; mais le journal s'interroge: "Elle n'avait pas son pouce cassé quand elle est allée chercher son passeport" et Joe et Marilyn sont bien allés chercher leur passeport le matin même.
- Le journal Lubbock Morning Avalanche du Texas permet d'éclairer le déroulement de l'événement dans son édition du 30 janvier, rapportant les propos de Marilyn: "Je l'ai juste cogné contre la porte hier soir", en expliquant leur retard de 30 minutes à l'aéroport, il semble que Marilyn aurait donc vu le docteur que le lendemain, et après leur retour au bureau fédéral de San Francisco; le médecin qui l'a soigné lui a dit de garder l'attelle pendant 3 semaines.

- Enfin, la version qui reste celle la plus répandue est celle où Marilyn aurait confié à des amis que c'est en voulant enlacer Joe qu'il lui cassa le pouce, sans le faire exprès, et dans un moment d'irritation, pendant qu'il parlait à son meilleur ami. Amy Greene (femme du photographe Milton H Greene) rapportera l'incident (au biographe Anthony Summers): "Marilyn s'approcha de lui pour l'enlacer. Irrité, car il était en train de discuter avec George Solotaire, il lui écarta les bras d'un geste vif, et le tranchant d'une de ses mains - qu'il avait énormes - vint donner contre le pouce de Marilyn."
Toujours est-il que le doute subsiste lorsque l'on sait par la suite que Joe s'est montré violent avec Marilyn. Un proche de Dorothy Arnold, la première femme de Joe, dira: "Joe était extrêmement possessif envers Dorothy, ainsi qu'avec Marilyn. Il a un jour cassé le doigt de Marilyn lors de leur voyage au Japon."

 

 The San Francisco Examiner, 01/02/1954 - USA

.
The mystery of the broken thumb: The journalists will quickly notice something abnormal: Marilyn does everything to hide her right hand, slipping it into her large fur coat (a gift from Joe). She wears a splint on her thumb. Assailed by questions, Marilyn finally answered, embarrassed: "I just bumped it. I have a witness. Joe was there. He heard it crack." But she refuses to provide more details. Faced with the journalists' insistence, Joe affirms that Marilyn will go to a military hospital where soldiers who fought in Korea are treated, as soon as they arrive in Japan. In fact, of this mishap which occurred the day before, several explanations will be given off-screen, as well as the date of this event which differs depending on the sources:
- The San Francisco Examiner newspaper published its version on February 1: "Marilyn has refused to discuss it. So we'll answer for her. Few nights ago, in a burst of domesticity, she decided to help Joe crack crab in the kitchen at DiMaggio's restaurant. She was using a hammer. She missed - and cracked her thumb instead of the crab. "I'm fractured!" yelled Marilyn." The newspaper does not indicate any source of provenance for this story.
- The San Bernardino County Sun newspaper noted in its January 30 columns that she had a broken thumb, reporting that Marilyn had bumped it and that she had Joe as a witness; but the newspaper wonders: "She didn't have (her thumb broken) when she went to get a passport" and Joe and Marilyn did go to get their passports that same morning.
- The Lubbock Morning Avalanche newspaper from Texas sheds light on the unfolding of the event in its January 30 edition, reporting Marilyn's words: "I just bumped it against the door last night", explaining their 30-minute delay at the airport, it seems that Marilyn would have seen the doctor only the next day, and after their return to the federal office in San Francisco; the doctor who treated her told her to keep the splint on for 3 weeks.

- Finally, the version which remains the most widespread is the one where Marilyn confided to friends that while wanting to hug Joe, he broke her thumb, without doing it on purpose, and in a moment of irritation, during that he was talking to his best friend. Amy Greene (wife of photographer Milton H Greene) reported the incident (to biographer Anthony Summers): "Marilyn approached him to hug him. Irritated, because he was arguing with George Solotaire, he pushed her arms aside in a quick gesture, and the edge of one of his hands - which he had enormous - came against Marilyn's thumb."
Still, doubt remains when we subsequently know that Joe was violent with Marilyn.
Someone close to Dorothy Arnold, Joe's first wife, said: "Joe was extremely possessive of Dorothy; also Marilyn. He once broke Marilyn's finger on their trip to Japan."

Le 30 janvier 1954Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio et Lefty O'Doul font une escale à Honolulu (à Hawaï) après 9 heures et demie de vol. En provenance de San Francisco aux USA, le couple attend l'avion qui les emmènera à Tokyo, au Japon.

On January 30, 1954, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio and Lefty O'Doul made a stopover in Honolulu (Hawaii) after 9 and a half hours of flight. Coming from San Francisco in the USA, the couple is waiting for the plane which will take them to Tokyo, Japan.

Lorsque l'avion de la Pan American vol 831 se pose sur le sol d'Honolulu le soir du 29 janvier, une foule de fans hystériques (entre 1000 et 2000 selon les sources) sont présents, hurlant "Marilyn! Marilyn!". La sécurité n'avait pas prévu ces débordements. C'est une véritable cohue: la foule entoure Marilyn, s'accrochant à ses vêtements et ses cheveux. Certains fans ont même déclaré être parvenu à arracher des mèches de ses cheveux ! Finallement, la police va parvenir à éloigner la foule et à escorter le couple jusqu'à un salon des passagers de l'aéroport, où Marilyn doit se recoiffer, expliquant que "ils n'arrêtent pas de m'attraper les cheveux".
Des danseuses de Hula (danse traditionnelle hawaïenne) acceuillent le couple, le bureau des visiteurs et la police leur offrent des colliers de fleurs. Marilyn déclare aux reporters: "Le mariage est désormais ma carrière principale."

  When Pan American Flight 831 landed on Honolulu on the evening of January 29, a crowd of hysterical fans (between 1,000 and 2,000 depending on sources) were present, screaming "Marilyn! Marilyn!". Security had not anticipated these excesses. It's a real crush: the crowd surrounds Marilyn, clinging to her clothes and her hair. Some fans even said they managed to pull out strands of her hair! Eventually, the police manage to keep the crowd away and escort the couple to an airport passenger lounge, where Marilyn has to fix her hair, explaining that "they keep grabbing at my hair".
Hula dancers (traditional Hawaiian dance) greet the couple, the visitors' office and the police offer them flower leis. Marilyn tells the reporters: "Marriage is my main career from now on."

An old acquaintance of Joe's, Louis Benjamin, serves as their driver: he takes them to the Royal Hawaiian Hotel (known as the "Pink Palace of the Pacific") where they spend the night.

La matinée du 30 janvier, Joe et Lefty ont rendu visite à des amis (dont Theodore Searle) au stade d'Honolulu puis Marilyn et Joe ont du finaliser quelques formalités pour leur visas du Japon.
L'après-midi, Louis Benjamin sert de chauffeur à Joe et Lefty pour leur faire le tour de l'île; il les amène au club de golf Waialae où Joe et Lefty n'ont pas jouer, ne faisant que regarder. De son côté, Marilyn reste à l'hôtel et passe son temps au salon de coiffure de l'hôtel (elle a eu des mèches de cheveux arrachés à son arrivée).
Joe et Marilyn font tout pour éviter les photographes. Lefty O Doul dit aux reporters: "le couple passera son temps à rester à l'écart de la foule aujourd'hui. Vous savez, des tourtereaux en lune de miel." Ils auraient passé leur après-midi à se reposer, se prélassant sous le soleil, mais à 16h30, pendant qu'elle est en train de marcher le long de la plage derrière l'hôtel, Marilyn a été reconnue et assaillie par des fans.
.
Les reporters s'interrogent encore sur le pouce cassé de Marilyn. Louis Benjamin leur expliquera que "C'est arrivé à San Francisco. Elle l'a cogné contre quelque chose. C'est un bleu et une petite entorse", ajoutant qu'il a vu Marilyn pleurer de douleurs quand Joe lui a changé son bandage.
Ils auraient prévu de revenir passer une semaine à Hawaï à leur retour du Japon, tel le déclarera Louis Benjamin à la presse: "Ils pourraient rester ici une semaine si les patrons de Marilyn ne la rappellent pas." mais ils n'en feront rien (leur départ de Tokyo le 23 février en destination d'Hawaï où ils n'y feront qu'une escale, reprennant l'avion pour San Francisco dans la foulée).
.
On the morning of January 30, Joe and Lefty visited friends (including Theodore Searle) at Honolulu Stadium and Marilyn and Joe had to finalize some formalities for their Japanese visas.
In the afternoon, Louis Benjamin serves as Joe and Lefty's driver to take them around the island; he takes them to the Waialae Golf Club where Joe and Lefty didn't play, only watching. For her part, Marilyn stays at the hotel and spends her time at the hotel hair salon (she had strands of hair pulled out upon her arrival).
Joe and Marilyn do everything to avoid photographers. Lefty O Doul tells reporters: "the couple will spend their time staying away from the mob today. You know, lovebirds on a honeymoon." They would have spent their afternoon relaxing, basking in the sun, but at 4:30 p.m., while walking along the beach behind the hotel, Marilyn was recognized and mobbed by fans.

.
Reporters are still wondering about Marilyn's broken thumb. Louis Benjamin will explain to them that "It happened in San Francisco. She bumped it against something. It's a bruise and a little sprain", adding that he saw Marilyn crying in pain when Joe changed her bandage.
They would have planned to come back and spend a week in Hawaii upon their return from Japan, as Louis Benjamin declared to the press: "They can stay here a week if Marilyn's bosses don't call her back" but they will do nothing about it ( their departure from Tokyo on February 23 for Hawaii where they will only have a stopover, taking the plane back to San Francisco immediately).

Joe, Marilyn et O'Doul décident d'avancer leur départ, tant les fans sur l'île sont incontrôlables. Ils prennent l'avion de la Pan American pour Tokyo la nuit du 31 janvier au 01er février (leur vol est à 02h00 du matin le 01er février) dont l'arrivée à Tokyo (aéroport d'Haneda) est prévu à 15h05 le 1er février (heure et date de Tokyo).
Quelques heures avant leur départ, une centaine de personnes étaient venus s'agglutiner autour de l'aéroport, attendant près de 45 minutes pour voir le couple partir; mais ils sont venus trop tôt à un vol prévu plus tôt que le leur. Le personnel de l'aéroport ont expliqué à la foule désappointée que Marilyn et Joe n'avaient pas prévu de partir à une heure si tardive, permettant ainsi de disperser la foule qui repart et laisser le champ libre au couple qui a pu prendre son avion sans être importuné.

Joe, Marilyn and O'Doul decide to bring forward their departure, as the fans on the island are so uncontrollable. They take the Pan American plane to Tokyo on the night of January 31 to Fébruary 1st (their flight is at 2:00 a.m. on February 1st), arriving in Tokyo (Haneda airport) at 3:05 p.m. on February 1 (Tokyo time and date).
A few hours before their departure, around a hundred people gathered around the airport, waiting nearly 45 minutes to see the couple leave; but they came too early to a flight scheduled earlier than theirs. The airport staff explained to the disappointed crowd that Marilyn and Joe had not planned to leave at such a late hour, thus allowing the departing crowd to disperse and leave the field clear for the couple who were able to catch their plane without being bothered.
