Teamwork... Ella Fitzgerald & Marilyn Monroe.    “I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt …. she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night .... The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it.” - Ella Fitzgerald Ella Fitzgerald, Marilyn Monroe, Marilyn Film, Divas, Marlene Dietrich, Hollywood Night, Old Hollywood, Tony Curtis, Frank Sinatra

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) had a style of prose - sparse and lacking the Victorian flowery language that he disliked - that has been emulated by generations of writers since. He wrote dozens of novels and short shories, became known around the world as a macho sportsman, and won both the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize for his writing. “Don’t you like to write letters? I do because it’s such a swell way to keep from working and yet feel you’ve done something.” ― Ernest Hemingway Writers And Poets, Writers Write, Writers Desk, Ernest Hemingway, Book Writer, Book Authors, Patrick Modiano, Good Books, Books To Read
