I'm sure I couldn't allow myself this indulgence were it not that my normal diet is comprised almost totally of protein foods. Google Marilyn at Wil Wright's Ice Cream Parlor, to see is a video of Marilyn at Wright's.In 1945 Dienes met the nineteen-year-old Marilyn Monroe, then called Norma Jeane Baker, who was a model on the books of Emmeline Snively's Blue Book Model Agency.
