2001 Marilyn Monroe Entertaining The Troops 1954 Operation Santa

2001 American Greetings Ornament -

Item # MMORN1012E
Item Condition: New, Mint ornament in Mint Box

In 1954, when the Department of Defense asked Marilyn Monroe if she would entertain the troops in Korea, Marilyn vowed to give those "kids in uniform fighting to save America" a show they'd never forget! Marilyn made a grand entrance-waving and blowing kisses as she dangled from a helicopter making a low sweep over the troops. She nearly caused the men to loose control when she sang "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." Giving her all was not without personal sacrifice. Her performance in freezing temperatures wearing only a bare-shouldered dress left her with pneumonia. But Marilyn still considered entertaining the servicemen a high point in her life.
