New Book, Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe
[From article]
DiMaggio was obsessed with Monroe, but he saw her through his narcissistic lens. He loved her, was thrilled to be chosen by the world’s most desirable woman, but he also wanted her to wear high-necked blouses and low hemlines and quit being a movie star.
“Joe misunderstood Monroe,” Solotaire said. “Like, here’s this young, beautiful woman on the verge of becoming one of the most successful and famous actresses in the world, and she’s going to give it all up to make lasagna for Joe and spend her days changing diapers?”
Yet during their courtship, DiMaggio worked to squelch his possessiveness, and Monroe, who spent her life in search of a father figure, a man who’d never, ever abandon her, found that in DiMaggio.
