Goodbye Norma Jean




Each Friday I write a short story in exactly 55 words. If you'd like to join in the fun and games, write your story, visit G-Man and let him know you've posted.

Early years curling hair and applying makeup. The promise of stardom. Known as actress, model, singer and sex symbol. Bringing her little joy. Troubled life of illness and personal problems. Probable suicide at the age of thirty six was no way to end a life. What could have become of Norma Jean, fifty years on?  

Have a great weekend all!
