#Marilynettes ~ On February 9, 1953 Marilyn Monroe was awarded the “Fastest Rising Star of 1952.” The ceremony organized by Photoplay magazine was held in the Crystal Room at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Marilyn was escorted by Sidney Skolsky because her husband Joe DiMaggio didn’t want to deal with all the media attention.
This was the night Marilyn wore the skin tight gold lame dress that was designed for her by William Travilla to wear in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” Florabel Muir reported “(the dress) Which seemed to have been painted on her. It just needs a movement of her backside so that Marilyn Monroe steals the show. Every guest began to applaud while two other movie stars, Joan Crawford and Lana Turner hardly looked. Next to Marilyn every other star seemed so dull.”
