Norma Jeane Baker Quotes

“Norma Jeane Mortenson, was looking forward. Yes, she really was.”
― Petra Hermans

“Champagne Sheets by Stewart Stafford

The little girl who swam with sharks,
Receiver clutched in her dead hand,
A naked, lonely death in a sterile room,
Pill bottles silent witnesses to her end.

Did she jump, or did others push her?
Tabloid gossip for the masses to echo,
Livid without make-up in the mortuary,
Stripped of her last vestiges of privacy.

Her disturbed mother was never there,
She had no siblings or a nurturing father,
True love and children evaded her grasp,
A fragile shell, now a luminary immortal.
