Tiny Tim (Herbert Butros Khaury)
(April 12, 1932 – November 30, 1996)

In late 1993, Michael Jackson proposed to Lisa Marie Presley,
the daughter of Elvis Presley, over the phone. They married
in La Vega, Dominican Republic, in May 1994 by civil judge
Hugo Francisco Álvarez Pérez. The tabloid media speculated
that the wedding was a publicity stunt to deflect away from
Jackson’s sexual abuse allegations and jump-start Presley’s
career as a singer.

On May 26, 1994, 20 days after her divorce from Keough,
Presley married singer Michael Jackson.

Citizen Kane is a 1941 drama film directed by, produced
by, and starring Orson Welles. Welles and Herman J.
Mankiewicz wrote the screenplay. The picture was
Welles’s first feature film. Citizen Kane is frequently
cited as the greatest film ever made.

Kane opened at the RKO Palace Theatre on Broadway in
New York on May 1, 1941, in Chicago on May 6, and in Los Angeles on May 8.

It was the ultimate All-American romance: the tall, handsome hero
of the country’s national pastime captures the heart of the beautiful, glamorous Hollywood star. But the brief, volatile marriage of Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio–the couple wed on January 14, 1954–
barely got past the honeymoon before cracks began to show in
its brilliant veneer.

In 1952, the New York Yankees slugger DiMaggio asked an
acquaintance to arrange a dinner date with Monroe, a buxom
blonde model-turned-actress whose star was on the rise after
supporting roles in films such as Monkey Business (1952) and
a leading role in the B-movie thriller Don’t Bother to Knock (1952).

The press immediately picked up on the relationship and began to
cover it exhaustively, though Monroe and DiMaggio preferred to
keep a low profile, spending evenings at home or in a back corner
of DiMaggio’s restaurant. On January 14, 1954, they were married
at San Francisco City Hall, where they were mobbed by reporters
and fans. Monroe had apparently mentioned the wedding plans to someone at her film studio, who leaked it to the press.
