January 14, 1954: Marilyn Monroe married Joe DiMaggio

He was one the most popular men in the country after a legendary baseball career that ended in 1951.   She was a young Hollywood star.

Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe were married on this day in 1954.   They were divorced in October 1954 or 274 days later.    I guess that Joe D never got used to her image.

Monroe died in 1962 and it was DiMaggio who arranged the funeral.   He also sent flowers to her grave site until his death in 1999.
