Both of these legends had extraordinary careers in their individual fields, as well as remarkable existences. \u003cbr\u003eThis book chronicles each of their lives, from the days before they met, until that magical night in 1952 when their paths finally crossed.\u003cbr\u003eTheir lives would never be the same after that.\u003cbr\u003eThough their marriage lasted for nine months, their love endured beyond those years and Joe’s heart yearned for no one else, even at his deathbed thirty-seven years after her untimely passing.\u003cbr\u003eThis account shares of their love and focuses on their marriage in 1954, and their trip to Japan and her trip to Korea, during the nearly one month time span that the couple was in the Far East together. \u003cbr\u003eA segment of the author’s collection of rare and unpublished photographs of both stars are featured within this NOOK edition, some never before seen since they were taken approximately sixty years ago in Japan and Korea. Due to file size constraints with file delivery via NOOK that inhibits image quality, the print version of the book has the expanded selection of photos from the author's collection, as well as memorabilia from both of the stars.\u003cbr\u003eThis book weaves in elements about baseball, entertainment, the military, the tragedies of stardom, and above all, the love Marilyn and Joe shared.\u003cbr\u003eThe story told here unveils other characters in the casts of both of their lives, including interviews with family members of Marilyn Monroe, headed by Marilyn’s second cousin, Jason Edward Kennedy. \u003cbr\u003eThis book begins to also debunk the myths and propaganda about the life and death of Marilyn Monroe. Additionally, controversy within Joe’s final days is also explored. \u003cbr\u003eMarilyn Monroe \u0026amp; Joe DiMaggio – Love In Japan, Korea \u0026amp; Beyond, is the first book in the series endorsed by MarilynMonroeFamily.com, the website run by the relatives of William Marion Hogan, Marilyn Monroe’s great-uncle.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Jean Miller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166878384368,"sku":"2940149620722","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149620722_p0.jpg?v=1763720175","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149620722","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
