Happy 87th Birthday, Marilyn! June 1st 1926 - ∞
She stood for life. She radiated life. In her smile hope was always present. She glorified in life, and her death did not mar this final image. She had become a legend in her own time, and in her death, took her place among the myths of our century. - John Kobal
