Thank you to everyone who donated money for flowers for Marilyn’s birthday! Our card, placed on the floral spray at Marilyn’s crypt, is below. Over $1,000.00 was donated this year! As was the case in 2018, Marilyn Remembered will donate remaining funds to a charitable cause. In 2018, we donated proceeds to Hollygrove, Marilyn’s childhood orphanage. Thank you again for remembering Marilyn on her 93rd birthday. ❤️
“Marilyn Remembered’s” very own Elisa Jordan, who also runs “LA Woman Tours” recently spoke about her fantastic “Marilyn’s Hollywood Tour” which took place on June 2nd, the day after Marilyn’s 93rd birthday:
“For Marilyn’s Birthday, I took some really nice folks out for a tour, including some Marilyn Remembered members (hi guys!) We stopped by the cemetery to see all Marilyn’s flowers and had cupcakes for her “birthday cake.” We had the cupcakes in the old Chasen’s building, a corner of which is preserved and still looks like the famed restaurant where Marilyn frequently dined. The building is now Bristol Farms but when you’re in the preserved Chasen’s section you can sit in a booth and pretend you’re part of Old Hollywood.”
Elisa is also running another “Marilyn’s Hollywood” Tour on August 4th 2019 For more information and to purchase tickets, head here:https://dearlydepartedtours.com/marilyns-hollywood-tour/
Across the internet, countless businesses and organistions paid their respects to Marilyn on what would have been her 93rd Birthday. Here is just a small sample of some of the loving tributes.
We start off by sharing this STUNNING design by talented digital artist Alejandro Mogollo.
“Happy birthday to the myth, the icon, the girl. Who can forget her first appearance in The seven year itch? She would’ve been 93 today.”
The official Marilyn Monroe Facebook page shared these graphics that were made especially for the occassion of Marilyn’s 93rd Birthday:
TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood (formerly Grauman’s Chinese Theatre) shared this:
“Remembering Marilyn Monroe on her birthday. She’s pictured with Jane Russell at their imprint ceremony in 1953.”
Madame Tussauds tweeted:
“Happy Birthday to our girl Marilyn! Marilyn Monroe’s first wax figure was launched at Madame Tussauds London in 1957 and has been a staple in many of our attractions all around the world still to this day. She truly is the definition of an ICON.”
The Savoy Hotel tweeted:
“Today marks the birthday of Marilyn Monroe who can be seen here with Laurence Olivier during a press conference in 1956. Our historical tours with Susan Scott reveal many of the stories which have made The Savoy the historical wonder it is today.”
Joshua Greene, son of Milton H. Greene, Marilyn’s friend, photographer and business partner shared this:
“Big Birthday For Marilyn Monroe she would be 93 today. Of the many projects we have worked on honoring Milton & Marilyn’s collaboration we have done a first. With the participation of master printer, Martin Axon the Archives is going to release our first platinum print. Each one is different because it is a one of a kind process that varies based on how Martin applies the emulsion and the exposure & the temperature of the developer. We will only offer 14 of each image. This is our first one of a classic B-8 that first appeared in color on the cover of Life magazine in 1965! A process that is so rare and specialized that even Milton did not pursue it!
So that said Happy Birthday Marilyn and yo dad we did it! Love you both:)))”
Sam Shaw, another of Marilyn’s photographers official estate posted this on their Facebook account:
“Once upon a time in Hollywood…a little known actress named Marilyn Monroe drove photographer Sam Shaw to and from the set of the film Viva Zapata because Sam didn’t have a driver’s license. It was 1951 and the two independent spirits became instant and life-long friends. They were both New Yorkers. They both loved Goya. They both worked in Hollywood for many years. They both left Hollywood in pursuit of complete artistic freedom. Marilyn Monroe was born 93 years ago today and we celebrate her.
“She represented freedom as few other women have. She said of herself that she was a sex symbol. That is true. It’s the freest symbol there is. It’s the symbol of life freeing itself from the tyranny of fear. Men are in terror of women’s sexuality, it has always been so. Anytime a woman behaves as freely as Marilyn Monroe, one part of us loves it, the other hates and fears it.” – Sam Shaw”
Fans in their droves took to the “Marilyn Remembered” Facebook page to share their messages of love and well wishes for our girl Marilyn, on what would have been her 93rd Birthday. Over the next few days, we will be showcasing a small sample of the many Birthday Tributes that Marilyn received and photos from fans from all around the world paying their respects.
Happy birthday to you Marilyn and thank you for all the wonderful people you have unwittingly brought into my life. The impact your life and legacy have had is immeasurable. I owe you so much and can never repay; thank you ❤️

Happy Birthday Marilyn where ever you are. I hope that you are finally happy and loved just like you always wanted to be. I’m sorry you didn’t find it while you were here with us on earth at one point in time. Happy 93rd, you are deeply missed and never forgotten. ????????❤️

I’ve loved her ever since I can remember. Someone I never had the pleasure of meeting, but that didn’t matter, Marilyn made you fall in love with her the minute she walked onto the screen. My favorite quote of hers has always been, “Hold a good thought for me.” If she only knew how many of us still hold a good thought for her, all these years later. ❤

Sometimes, we ponder over the thought of no longer being here on this earth.
It’s sad how some lives are taken away too early, for people have so much to give in this world.
If something’s for sure, is that life is precious.
Before you go out today and live your life, tell the people in your life that you love them, have that last dance with someone at that party, share great moments with your friends, give your family members that big hug, because you never know if it will be the last time or not❤️
June 1st is a day of which many people celebrate the life of a girl who dreamed and achieved big, but unfortunately passed at 36 years old.
You see, she never really left ❤️
Hold a good thought for her ❤️

For some reason we love her. If pressed as to why, we might not be able to answer. Looks. Attitude. Spirit. Soul. Who knows. She captivated us- still does. Though she said she didn’t want to be looked at as a “thing”, hated the giant Seven Year Itch promotion… Longed to be taken seriously, we tend to embrace these images. I must confess, I’m guilty. Her visual grabs you- inexplicably. The sexual but still innocent pinups, the knowing but vulnerable expressions. Often imitated but never the same, real Her. She’s a once in a lifetime. Don’t think she really ever knew it-pity. I hope She’s able to sense, somehow, the love and Respect she always searched for- albeit much too late. Happy Birthday- Norma Jean. XO. ❤️
