Taken from the amazing PBS interviews website. Emily DiMaggio was Dom DiMaggio’s wife. She was photographed at dinner with Dom, Joe and Marilyn in early 1955 after the divorce announcement.
My Mother was a friend to June DiMaggio and after a few conversations with her June told me not to pay any attention to any thing bad they say about Marilyn. She was a wonderful wholesome person. Perfectly happy to go get a burger at a drive in and not go to a red carpet event. RIP Mom, June and Marilyn.
Rather robotic limiting interviewer doesn't show much empathy or pursue any interesting avenues not on his prescribed list. Sounds like he's got a set of questions & by God he's gonna ask them no matter what. Disappointing he had a great guest & didn't make the most of her.
Considering the timeline of the interview and the content, it points to 'Dinner with DiMaggio' by Rock Positano. His book contains quotes of Joe sharing private details of his intimacy with Marilyn.
@@SilverTechnicolorTheir sex life was in "Joe and Marilyn, Legends In Love" by C. David Heymann, a book that was sympathetic to both, and I do believe that great sex was all that held them together, that they had absolutely nothing to talk about before or after.
@@akrenwinkle The problem is that C David Heymann is now considered a notorious crook when it comes to interviews and what he wrote. For example he invented all the interviews with Joe Jr and Peter Lawford. Highly recommend this article that explains how he managed to sell those books. www.newsweek.com/2014/09/05/c-david-heymanns-career-serial-fabulist-266876.html
@@SilverTechnicolor The article's interesting, to say the least. You won't like it, but even if Heymann had a casual relationship with accuracy, it's my impression that both Joe and Marilyn were bordering what's now called "special needs" and outside their respective occupations, had nothing to offer anyone in a relationship but sex. I say this as a senior, and I don't mean high school. I also say it as a long-time fan. Of Marilyn's, I mean.
@@akrenwinkle I think that’s downplaying a lot of their relationship. As someone who is currently writing a book on DiMaggio, there is a lot out there that has been repeated for effect and without any source. C David Heymann is the definition of that. Joe and Marilyn had a lot in common - extreme sensitive nature, difficult childhoods and craving for emotional affection to name a few.
