Marilyn Monroe - @ Clark Gable son christening FOOTAGE 1961

[siempremarisol]

time has change and we have to be political correct and talk about whitney or michael but liz will live on forever yes but monroe die at a very young age and liz have a full life at the time of her death a very sad day for me she was already a very old woman

[MegaLoveme1]

Wow...Marilyn walks in and the whole world just lights up!!!

[siempremarisol]

@MegaLoveme1 marilyn wa snot even close to BRIGITTE BARDOT WHO WAS PERFECT

[NikkiParker23]

Hedda, Lottie, (Hedda Hopper, Louella Parsons) Cesar Romero, Robert Stack, Jack Benny, Marilyn, Fred Astaire...

[hurrikan39]

Marylin looks great!!!!

a look and a walk...

[alfhayes]

That's St. Cyril's Church on Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks, just up the street from where I grew up. That Christening is John, ... I remember him riding his bicycle around the Libbit house in the early 70s. Also sad to see how nice that part of the Valley was in the 60's; I can see why my parents moved there in '59, from Hollywood. That MG dealership in the background was a Porsche dealership when my friends and I were whipping around St. Cyril's big parking lot on our bicycles.

[goldeneyesofafrica]

Loved this video! Thanks for sharing!

[imtheskateboarder]

was that fred astaire at 2:22?

[siempremarisol]

yes is true is anew major movie about monroe but maybe one day will be one on liz taylor but since she has a full live with children and family it will be more complicate, hollywood want to make a new movie on bardot but she said she will stop the movie

[kentgna]

Las imagenes de Marilyn son del entierro de Gable. ella no asistió al bautizo!!!!

The images of Marilyn are the Gable's funeral. she did not attend the christening

[theblazingangel]

It might have been the babys big day but all eyes were on Marilyn. The woman was simply magnetic.

[iiBrandi]

Great footage! Cesar Romero, Hedda Hopper, Robert Stack(I think) and Fred Astaire !!!!wow!

[kindlydude]

Funny how the baby howls in sync w the music as the clarinets & horns wail. Clark Gables widow shows such a brave lovely face. And yes she showed a lot of class inviting Marilyn. Part of Kay must have been so sad but another part had to get on w it &live for the moment & march on for the child's sake. She seems happily & firmly ensconced in motherhood... something Marilyn never got to experience. I think her numerous failed attempts at getting pregnant wounded her feminine soul & psyche deeply.

[edyoung44]

from 2:08-2:18 is the best part

[savere2006]

I like seeing these old footages of celebs.

[hank309]

wow, thanks for posting this. how do you do it?? 

[MegaEvalee]

the song goes with marilyn 's movement! she knew how to walk sexy!! wish i knew how!

[jadam850]

Too bad Clark couldn't be present he passed away in 1960, I actually went to this school but for only one year 1963 to 1964 5th grade St Cyrils it's in Encino i freaked when i first saw this video, spent plenty of time in that church

[shannonD68]

How crazy! I believe that most of these personalities showed up just to be seen at the event of the heir of one of Hollywood's royalty. I wonder id Loretta Young;s and Clark Gable's adult daughter and her husband showed up.

[joeblowthehot]

the lady holding the baby at the begining looks like Catherine O hara..eh??

[JudgeJulieLit]

@joeblowthehot That's Kay Gable, Clark's widow, mother of the baby Christenee.

[dumont1957]

"Quite pawing the kid, Louella, you're making him cry! Go pick a fight with Hedda...Sheesh!"

[tiukudaa]

Omg, how cute baby :) I know that Clark would have been very proud of his son. A sad case :(

[3909clancy]

Oh please is was all a public show then peeps went hom ebeat there wives and kids while they drank

[dearmalika]

It's so interesting! Thanks for posting!

[SenhoritaIsabel]

Sucha class back then.. What happened to America?

[marilyn69monroe]

@SenhoritaIsabel Yeah i have no idea.....

[lumeriam]

@SenhoritaIsabel Music dictates how young Americans will behave...now there are also disgusting music videos. Change the music and movies.

[irvingklaw57]

Where is the part where she walks out of the church?

[marilyn69monroe]

@irvingklaw57 Its on my new channel, themarilyn1969monroe

[bjarnelee]

Marilyn looked like the epitome of a moviestar in her mourning clothes for Clark Gable. What a sad christening.

[TheMarcello68]

amazing high quality video,sad that it was the christening of a fatherless child and in some way, Marilyn lost a father twice.For her,Gable was like a father.thank you

[marilyn69monroe]

@TheMarcello68 your welcome Marcello -;)

[DietrichMarlena]

Wow, i've seen before just this moment with Marilyn going, but never this whole beautiful footage!

Thank you for posting this!

[marilyn69monroe]

@DietrichMarlena Youre welcome -;)

[siempremarisol]

@foratti you are crazy LIZ WAS THE BIGGEST STAR OF HER TIME PLUS SHE DONT HAVE TO DIE YOUNG TO BE FAMOUS

[siempremarisol]

@foratti Liz taylor was the biggest hollywood star ever when she die she was in the cover of every news paper in the whole planet, La Taylor was not a good actress but like ava gardner said we were good to look at

[siempremarisol]

@foratti I agree with you Rita was unique as well as Brigitte bardot i have to said rita and barodt are my favorite

[musicaltheatergeek79]

@siempremarisol Liz Taylor may have been the biggest star of her time, but Marilyn has become a myth. Almost 50 years after her death people are still writing about her. Heck, an Oscar caliber movie about her is coming out later this year. Marilyn has transcended legendary status. Her name alone "Marilyn Monroe" has become synonymous with "sex" and "eternal beauty." Not to put Liz down 'cause she was a great woman, especially during the AIDS epidemic, but there's nothing mythic about her.

[siempremarisol]

@musicaltheatergeek79 We dont know yet how liz will fare with time but i know her death was very big plus liz was a living legend and marilyn was a death legend, liz dont die young and she was very famous even whem she die she was not in her prime it was a big event monroe is a tragic figure but liz was a great person and dont have to kill herself to be inmortlal as well as brigitte bardot the most beautiful movie star of all time the most copy woman in the planet still today

[siempremarisol]

@foratti LA taylor forever will be the queen

[siempremarisol]

@foratti liz will live on forever in her brands like chanel monroe is for gay older gays

[foratti]

@siempremarisol Are you sure ? I guess no. Just notice today was Liz Taylor 80th birthday and they made her a very little and short tribute at the academy awards yesterday Marilyn passes away 50 years ago and she more alive than Liz Taylor who passed away only 11 months ago !

[siempremarisol]

@foratti LIZ TAYLOR die at an old age plus her children are alive and controling everything with time liz will comeback it happened all the time look at audrey hepburn today she is bigger than when she was alive. all over usa at the sofitel hotel is an exibition of brigitte bardot dont miss when reach your city is now in los angeles will be in ny in september

[siempremarisol]

@foratti the movie about marilyn was a major flop and has good review but nobody went to see the movie even with vivien leigh and larry in it i mean someone playing vivien the amazing scarlett

[MarilynxDoris]
