Marilyn Monroe  (Norma Jeane Mortenson; June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962)

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – It’s no secret Joe DiMaggio loved Marilyn
Monroe. The baseball great cried at her funeral and for 20 years had
flowers placed at her crypt several times a week.

The public displays were unusual for the famously stoic and private
DiMaggio. Now, his heartbreak over the breakup of their marriage will
get a rare public airing when "Marilyn Monroe’s Lost Archives" goes up
for bid at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills next month.

The 300 items also include love letters from Monroe’s third and final
husband, playwright Arthur Miller.
