Tony Curtis:
A Legendary Hollywood Actor & Artist
who Starred with Marilyn Monroe in The Film: "Some Like It Hot!"
Diana has fond memories of the night they met... Saying "he had a magical presence and a very loving spirit."
The stories he told, about his life and romance with Marilyn, were priceless!
Joe DiMaggio
Legendary "Yankees Clipper" baseball player and former husband of Marilyn Monroe, were married for a short time back in the 50's, but the world will never forget their True Hollywood Romance.
Diana had the pleasure of meeting Joe DiMaggio at a City of Hope Golf Tournament back in the early 80's.
Joe's friends told Diana Dawn that she reminded Joe of his late wife "Norma Jean" aka "Marilyn Monroe"
Joe asked Diana to hostess his Joe DiMaggio Invitational the same year and other offers followed.
Joe DiMaggio asked Diana for a date and brought her a bottle of Champagne as a way of saying thank you for her being at his Tournament, and she still bubbles over with joy thinking about it to this day.
Marilyn Monroe & Joe DiMaggio, were married in San Francisco, California in January of 1954, sadly just 9 months later they filed for divorce on October 27th... Ironically Diana was born on that same day, four years later.
Diana's date with "Joe DiMaggio" changed the direction of her life and career forever.
It seems Diana was destined to portray Marilyn Monroe, and the moment she stepped into Marilyn's shoes, all kinds of doors began to open up for her.
