Divorced at the time of her death, Joe DiMaggio, who took charge of her funeral
didn't invite any of her Hollywood 'friends'
because, he said, they were the ones who killed her. Yep. Tragic

A friend was an F 4 pilot when Fonda was playing VC gunner... he would very much like to speak with her about that.

I recall a Parris Island drill instructor telling two recruits that their recruiter's promise of "aviation guaranteed" was a sucker play.
Never heard the word "aviation" when our MOS's were assigned.
Don't know what MOS those two wound up with, but little draftee me wound up as a supply clerk for a satellite communications squadron at Cherry Point, NC,--a Marine Corps air base!
And there I stayed.

I joined the USAF to avoid the draft. Thank you for toughing it out in the USMC. I'm 100% in agreement with your opinion.

Or teleprompters.

Some people will definitely say this is politically correct, but I am NOT politically correct.

This society has gotten to a point where they build up people and then tear them down. Its like a sport.

The latest victim is Trump. I wont say he is perfectly Objectivist, but that said, there is so much hatred out there for him it is starting to bother me. Its personal hatred designed to break his spirit, kind of like what happened to Marilyn.

No one is saying this, but this man built up a successful business, raised a very impressive family, made a lot of money, spent a chunk of it on this presidential bid, and really doesnt need to do this presidential thing at all. He could stick with his business and family and have a few more years of a very good life.
When his family says he is doing this because he wants to do something good for the country, I tend to accept that. Who knows what goes on in a person's mind. We have to infer that from their actions.

I can tell you that I wouldnt give up my time and the money I made to get the hatred and terrible treatment that he has gotten. I would have told the voters to go fu&* themselves long ago. I have to commend him for sticking with it.

With this sort of treatment as the reward for running for president, we as citizens will never get the president that we seem to want. We will get the likes of Hillary Clintons, Barack Obamas, and George Bushs.

she is at the top of my boycott list. -- j

A member of the more than equal libtard elite thinks as does her peers that she's too special to have to go do that.
Hope it's just commie California where she's staying at.
Acting can be hard. I recall memorizing lines for a play one time as the main character.
Well, that was a live stage show. No room for retakes.

I understand completely.
I did not share your experiences.
Still, Hanoi Jane was always on the back of my mind when I saw one of her movies on TV.
Can't recall buying a theater ticket save for seeing Barbarella with three other naughty guys.
This was before she became a known protestor.

Just the ongoing disempowerment of the feminine esteem.

that's a boycott which I have maintained since the
hanoi debacle. . I was in seAsia when we bombed
Hanoi in 72. . different perspective! -- j

I agree with Ayn. Not surprising she would support Marilyn Monroe and the break out of her new ideas. Of course these new ideas are denigrated by people who didn't think of them and/or afraid of them.

Agree with Tom. What is so hard about being an actor? A little time in front of the camera (ensured by birth), and anyone with some basic charisma and not just stupid can succeed.

Hanoi Jane (favorite urinal stickers) should go live in the China, Vietnam or North Korea she loves so much, and avoid the disgusting US.

I do believe she had a chance at getting old until she met JFK.

Interesting post. Poor Marilyn found out too late that the ruling class is in charge. "Happy Birthday, Mr. President."... When she sang that, it was her death sentence. I read somewhere that she wanted a child very badly....not being able to have one bothered her emotionally. How a child might have changed her life, we will never know.

I was against that war and drafted into the Marines. I was still against the war when honorably discharged.
But it is my opinion that Fonda should have been tried for treason.
Think in terms of an American movie star helping out ISIS for a propaganda video.
A happy little party I'd love to break up with a Tomahawk missile.

Thanks for the post.

"The Bitch" hurt so many of my fellow service men that I can't stand anything with her in it.

To this day I smell a Camelot rat about Marilyn's reported suicide.
I agree that she was a treasure, too, if not a national icon.
Her memory did not seem at all risque by the end of the decade gone mad 60s.
I'm suddenly thinking of Jane Fonda nude in Barbarella, soon to become a grinning Teflon traitor behind a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun, a protests speaker too radical for many radicals and later recognized as a great actress.
And I have too admit she grew up to be a good one.

Thanks for posting!

Just another treasure destroyed by the do good Kennedy clan covered up .Method to be imitated and repeated by little willy.

Marilyn dies and then I see miniskirts.
In mid-60s New York City,young Alabama dino was the usher at a cousin's wedding. His bride wore a miniskirt bridal gown. They are still happily married and have three grown kids.
