Para mì es toda una revelaciòn que Elizabeth Taylor y Marilyn Monroe se hayan conocido e incluso haya una foto de las dos juntas, en la gala de los oscars de 1961, en la que Liz fue la ganadora. En la inolvidable revista chilena Ecran leì, hace muchos años, que ambas estrellas eran, en moreno y rubio, lo màximo en cuanto a belleza, a mediados del siglo pasado, pero que nunca se conocieron. Si estuvieron en esa fiesta juntas, no habràn fotos mejores y màs claras de las dos, serìa fantàstico poder verlas.
Thanks Edu. This comment translates roughly as:
For mì revelaciòn is all one that Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe have been known and even there is a photo of the two meetings, in the finery of oscars of 1961, in which Liz was the winner. In the unforgettable Chilean magazine Ecran leì, for many years, that both stars were, in colored person and blonde, màximo as far as beauty, in the middle of the last century, but that never was known. If they were in that celebration together, habràn better photos and màs clear of the two, serìa fantàstico not to be able to see them.
Sorry for late. That photo showing Liz and Marilyn together wasn’t made in the Oscar’s night but in a LasVegas club where Sinatra was singing (and both them are looking and smiling at him).cleoterni
