MARILYN AND HER MEN

Re your review of “Carl Sandburg” (July 14), Marilyn Monroe figured in one of those “apparently platonic” relationships with Sandburg, as some of us who were employed at 20th Century-Fox studios in 1962 recall. Each of them had apartment “dressing rooms” in the Stars Building across from our Cafe de Paris.

Sandburg was on the lot working on the screenplay for “The Greatest Story Ever Told” for producer/director George Stevens. At noon sometimes, Marilyn and Carl would come out of their apartments and stroll hand-in-hand down the street leading away from the cafe, two unique talents, half-a-century apart in age, but one in companionship.
