在咖啡館遇見瑪麗蓮．夢露（簡體書）

The way they took charge of their lives was thrilling to me. I wanted that power formyself. It was almost as if I could get it by sleeping with them, you know? WhenI was very young, I had this thing with Joe Schenk. He was the head of the Foxstudio, and a very important man. I used to go over to his house-it was a mansion,with the finest drapes, carpets, and furniture. And he served delicious food. Hes theone who taught me about champagne. Mr. Schenk loved my breasts.

Hed tell me storiesabout all the stars hed known, like John Barrymore, Charlie Chaplin, and Valentino,and play with my breasts while he talked. But that was pretty much all we did. Hewas kind of old by then. Sometimes, hed ask me to kiss him down there. I did it,too. It seemed to go on for hours, but nothing ever happened. Usually, he fell asleep,but if he stayed awake, hed pat my head, like I was a little dog.

That magnificent head and torso, and the way he moved like a dancer. Hiswhole body kind of rippled when he walked ... Yves was another very sexy man. Healways reminded me of Joe DiMaggio. And I adored his French accent. I loved himbut he told me hed never leave Simone [Signoret]. Never. I think I fell for him evenharder when Simone won the Best Actress Oscar. Although she and I were friends,that made me so jealous that I felt like saying, "Youve got the Oscar, but Ive gotYves." Now that was kind of childish of me, I know. But in matters of the heart, wecan all be childish, dont you think? MoreMore
