Marilyn Monroe by Ed Clark, 1950
“God would never put a female soul in a male body because He never makes mistakes” Excuse me? God literally was so embarrassed by his human creations that he destroyed the entire earth in a flood leaving only one guy’s family and a bunch of animals stuck on a boat together. “God never makes mistakes” What on earth are you t a l k i n g about???
the story of noah is literally god going “fuck this i’m starting over”
A week before Garbo’s death, my wife and I were in New York on our way to Florida. Garbo sounded bright and friendly as usual, but I could hear that she was very weak. She still managed to comment on the shipping accident between Norway and Denmark a few days earlier, in which so many people had died. She was appalled that that kind of thing could happen. Garbo made a note of my room number at the hotel and promised to ring when she felt better. That was on the Sunday evening. Three days later, on the Wednesday, she was taken to New York Hospital by ambulance. She died at the hospital after another three days - on 15 April 1990 - at the age of eighty-four years and seven months. (Conversations with Greta Garbo by Sven Broman)

Billie Holiday and Hazel Scott enjoy each other’s company at party in 1957. In “Lady Didn’t Always Sing the Blues,” a 1973 article in Ebony magazine, her friend Ms. Scott said, “The thing I hope the kids don’t miss – the ones who are just discovered Lady – is that she took a lot of the tragedy of her life and made something beautiful out of it; something very beautiful.” The photo was taken by the legendary photographer Roy DeCarava (1919-2009).
Then there was the time she promised if I went 1st-she’d heckle my funeral. Fiercely funny-I know she would also like us all to laugh today.

“Bowie’s screaming, and what you hear on Five Years – the emotion – is for real,” explains MacKay. “He’s bawling his eyes out. Ronson was looking at Bowie, stunned. I was in shock, because… he was also hitting every note spot-on. I’ve worked with some great vocalists since. But no-one who could do it in one take with that much emotion.”
