Three Epitaphs

Marilyn
Hollywood starlet
Some Like it Hot and she was
dead at thirty-six.

Frank
Hollywood Rat Pack
crooner who liked it My Way
Old Blue Eyes heart throb.

Judy
Her voice came out of
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
spotlight burned her soul.

    Their own enjoyment of fame was fleeting even though they left footprints in the sand. Remembering with sadness.

      Great talents — two especially gone too soon.

    Great stars but each was damaged by their stardom either by drugs, suicide or alcohol.

    Okay, my friend. We are having an “aha” moment. Yesterday, I had all 3 of this people on my mind. I’ve been playing the Frank Sinatra channel in my car – and explaining to my 15 year old son – who Judy Garland was…
    It came out in our conversation, he’s never watched, The Wizard of Oz. Well, I felt like a horrid mom. So, this Thanksgiving – I’m forcing him to watch flying monkeys 😉
    Fun piece!
    Happy Wednesday!
    am:)

      Aha!!! I’ve said since we first “met”…sympatico in many ways…happy Wednesday indeed!
      PS: will be interesting to see your son’s reaction to a first-time viewing. Hope you’ll have the version in black and white till she lands in Oz 🙂
