For many years a bench was positioned near Marilyn
Monroe's crypt at Westwood Memorial Park. This bench, provided by
the Marilyn Remembered Fan Club and the All About Marilyn Fan Club in 1992, allowed for a place near Marilyn where visitors could
spend time contemplating her life, thinking about Marilyn, or just
visiting her.
Unfortunately, in mid 2008, due to age and normal
wear and tear, this concrete bench began to crumble, and actually fell
apart. In late 2008 the Marilyn Remembered Fan Club took action to
replace the bench and reached out to fans all over the world, inviting
them to contribute to the cause of replacing the bench.
In February
of 2009 a beautiful new bench of pearl white granite was installed.
This bench will be formally dedicated at the 2009 Marilyn Monroe Memorial.
This bench was paid for solely with donations and contributions from fans
all over the world.
The Marilyn Remembered Fan Club recognizes and
thanks the following fans who donated to this cause, and ultimately to our
goal of keeping the legend of Marilyn Monroe Alive.
