Marilyn Monroe & Joe Di Maggio

Marilyn Monroe was born on the 1st of June 1926 as Norma Jean Baker in Los Angeles.
She wasn't born to a marriage and nobody wanted her. Her father immediately left her and her mother was sent to a mental home and Norma changed many surrogate families. In the age of eight she was raped by an elderly lodger of her then house.
As she was growing, she was becoming very attractive, which she noticed and after her first marriage in the age of sixteen, she became a model. She turned blonde and tried her luck in Hollywood. She succeeded more than she ever dreamed. In her life she has shooted 23 films.

Joe Di Maggio she met at one party, but she didn't know that he's a great baseball star, he was so amazed of her innocence, frankness and beauty, that he fell in love with her.
She wasn't used to be loved by somebody, so she couldn't trust Joe, that he loved her, but after a short time, everything turned nice and and they married on 14th of January 1954.
Joe wanted her to stop with showbusinnes, but she was very connected with it, so he left her and the divorce was less than one year after their wedding.

In 1956 she married famous dramatist Arthur Miller, but the marriage was a failure and Marilyn was alone again. Joe wanted her back and she too, but this fact he and whole world clueded in in her letter, which was found after her death. Di Maggio arrenged her funeral and every day in his life sent one red rose on her tomb. He loved her very much and was very sad all his life.

Brigitte Bardot & Roger Vadim

They met, when Brigitte was fifteen years old and started dating, he became her lover and their parents were against it. She started trying to make suicides. Finally, her father allowed them to marry, when she will be eighteen. Their first night as a wife and a husband, they spent in house of their parents  and her father commanded Roger to sleep not in Brigitte's bed, but in the the dining room. Brigitte screamed: I will make decisions about where will my husband sleep.´´ Her father replied: ,,What husband ?´´
They had to marry in the church, then they were considered as married couple by Brigitte's dad.
Roger thought, that Brigitte could be as great star and sex-symbol as Marylin Monroe in the USA, and he was right. In the age of nineteen she participated the film festival in Cannes, where she appeared dressed like a schoolgirl, but hot, just as Roger wanted.
In 1956 she had a main character in Vadim's film And God created a woman, she became a star and great sex-symbol. But it turned up, that Roger made a really good work- she believed the picture of her as a seductive nymph and behaved like that. They divorced in 1957. He married Annettte Stroyberg and had one son with her. Brigitte had lots of affairs and then married an actor Jacques Charrier. She gave birth to his son Nicholas in 1960. This marriage wasn't happy and she left both Jacques and Nicholas.
Not long after that, she tried to make another suicide. Vadim left Annette and started a relationship with Catherine Deneuve, with whom he had a son Christian. Finally, he married Jane Fonda and had a daughter Vanessa with her.
Brigitte married german playboy Gunther Sachs. This marriage was also unhappy.
Although, her relationship with Roger Vadim ended up, she never stopped loving him and she played in his films.
When Brigitte realized, that she's a woman, not a sex-symbol, there was too much lovers, parties and attempted suicides.
Love of her life- Roger Vadim got married again, to Catherine Schneider.
In 1973, in the age of forty, Bardot stopped with films and started with helping animals.
Now she lives surrounded by dogs, cats, goats, horses and donkeys.
Vadim gave her everything from love- fame, money and happiness for a short time, he died in 2000.

Few days ago I read the most amazing book, that I have ever read. It's called Life and it is an autobiography written by the coolest guy- Keith Richards. The first chapter deals with him on American tour in the begining of 70s. In the second chapter, he returns to his childhood, war, his being in a choir, being a scoutmaster, problems with school, bullying, ....
In the third chapter he meets Mick Jagger and they start creating a rock'n'roll group. Further, they had to face many problems, they were complete broke, lived in awful flat with other memebers of their group. Additionally they reached great success. In this book he describes his affairs, problems with drugs, relationship with Anita Pallenberg, death of their third child- son Tara, death of Brian Jones and also problems with him during his being in The Rolling Stones. He writes about how he met Patti Hansen, how he fell in love with her.
