“By 1939, Fredric March could be described as a handsome man six feet tall, weighing 170 pounds. His right shoulder was much lower than his left, requiring the right shoulder pads of his suits to be raised so the shoulders would appear on the same level. He was fond of eating, practically any dish his favorite, and he had to watch his weight. He was fond of keeping accounts, and for a while used to list the household expenses. He had an elaborate bookkeeping system and could tell you what he was worth to the penny (which was considerable). He was generally chewing gum, a moderate smoker, emptying a pack of cigarettes a day; allowed himself one cigar a day after dinner, and was a mild drinker. He was an avid letter writer, and he kept up a large correspondence. Whenever he was asked by a newspaper or magazine for an article, he did not allow any publicity man to ghost it for him, but wrote it himself. He also liked to do a little rewriting on his scripts.”

    When Monroe was a child, shunted from foster home to orphanage and back, her mentally troubled mother suddenly appeared one day and took the girl to a newly purchased home. The furnishings were meager, but it was their home at last. Her mother then attended an auction of actor Fredric March’s (middle photograph) household effects and bought a white piano for the new residence. But that brief time of tranquility in young Norma Jean’s childhood soon ended when her mother collapsed and was taken away.     When Monroe became a movie actress and was able to save her first $1,000, she tracked down that white piano and bought it back: a symbol of one of the few happy times in her childhood. March never knew why she held him in high esteem.  - Stories My Father Told Me: Notes From “The Lyons Den” by Jeffrey Lyons
