Marilyn Monroe — The Dress and Roses He Chose to Bury Her In Himself [iXU0lOA9hf9]
August 1962. Joe DiMaggio would let no one else decide how Marilyn Monroe was laid to rest. He chose her bronze casket, lined with champagne-coloured silk. He chose the pale green dress she was buried in — one of her own. He laid baby-pink roses across it. Then he bent to her, in front of the few he'd allowed in, and said, twice, I love you. Nine months married, thirty years devoted. Nobody arranged it but him.
