Monroe and DiMaggio the Ties That Bind This Week at LiveAuctionTalk.com
Photo courtesy of Hunt Auctions.
The actress was hesitant that night expecting to meet a loud, sporty jock. What she encountered was a modest gentleman in a gray suit and tie. Had she not known he was a baseball player, the actress would have guessed Joe was a steel magnate or congressman.
They married on short notice at San Francisco City Hall on Jan. 14, 1954. Adjusting to married life was hard for both of them. Joe’s legendary career ended just as Marilyn’s peaked and he didn’t appreciate being upstaged by his wife. They were in very different places in life.
He wanted a wife, not an actress. It wasn’t long before Marilyn realized she couldn’t have both a career and a private life with Joe. The couple divorced in October 1954, nine months after their marriage.
After the divorce Joe remained a strong, protective figure in Marilyn’s life and she turned to him when she was in trouble up until the time of her death.
On Nov. 13, Hunt Auctions featured a Marilyn Monroe autographed photo to Joe DiMaggio in its Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory Auction. The sepia tone, 8 inch by 10 inch photo of a reclining Marilyn sold for $63,250. Across the front was the inscription “I love you Joe, Marilyn.”
