❝As we were about to meet the queen I rushed into the ladies dressing room to check if my makeup was all right. And who do I see? Marilyn. So there we were powdering our noses, looking at each other, saying “hello-hello”. I really saw her close up. She was ravishing. It was the only time I saw Marilyn, and I will always remember it. She was so incredibly lovely, like a… baby. She was fresh, beautiful, and pure, and very touching with her vulnerability… She always was for me what every woman, not only me, must dream to be… I feel great affection for Marilyn Monroe.❞
