“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt. It was because of her that I played the Mocambo, a very popular nightclub in the ’50s. She personally called the owner of the Mocambo (who had refused to book Fitzgerald because she was black), and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him - and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status - that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard… After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman - a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it. ”
-Ella Fitzgerald

"it`s turning into an obsession" would be an understatement.
during the last few years I wrote about many different aspects regarding this particular work of art. and although I intended to write about something completely different it does not really surprise me, that I ended up writing about Velazquez and his Las Maninas.
a wonderful picture...&
perfect work of art...at least to me it is.:)
