Does ‘Blonde’ offer a fair account of the troubled marriage of Monroe and DiMaggio, the baseball legend from Martinez and San Francisco?
In the Hollywood mythology surrounding Marilyn Monroe, there were rumors that she and Joe DiMaggio hoped to reconcile, years after their brief, turbulent marriage fell apart in 1954.
While it’s known that Monroe and DiMaggio remained good friends, the movie star reportedly downplayed any plans to reconcile with her ex. Sadly, any hopes that these two icons could find their way back together ended when Monroe died in August 1962 at age 36, officially from an accidental drug overdose.
