Okay here goes…. The night Marylynn Monroe got away.
August 1982 cast party Guys and Dolls.
16 yrs old. first adult party I ever attended.
I was the biggest Marylynn fan in the world (even though she was dead) and one of the cast members worked in New York from time to time as a Marylynn look alike. I of course was a typical innocent teenager who never dated or partied etc. In fact when I arrrived at the party everyone was in a circle passing around a bong, when it came to me I didn’t know what to do and blew into the bong causing a little mess. Needless to say that night was rather eye opening to me in many ways. My head was swimming with all the happenings going on around me. So I sat down.. on the floor resting my back against a chair in the living room. and I watched, laughed and relaxed, all the while Marylynn is sitting directly across from me looking sooooooo hot. Didn’t want to catch myself looking to long, didn’t want to creep her out. Then at some point in the conversation she looks me directly in the eyes and says “my that chair looks comfortable” and proceeds to get up and walk towards me! Then she sits in the chair I am leaning against proceeds to touch my hair.
Without thought… maybe it was reflex I dunno but at that moment I jumped up and said “that chair looks comfy too” and ran to the other side of the room and continued to fantasize.
It’s was probably around 3:00am that night, when I was halfway home on my long walk, that I slapped myself REALLY HARD upon realizing that I probably let her get away.
Sniff!
