"I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it." — Marilyn Monroe

Monroe was now making more than $1000 a week. She then stared in several films such as "Gentleman Prefers Blondes," "Little Rock," and "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend." In Hollywood's eyes, she could do no wrong. In the summer of 1953, Joe DiMaggio swept Monroe away for a private wedding. Their official honeymoon took place in Tokyo. Concern then arose as Monroe was discovered as having a drug problem. Pill popping was a major occurrence in the 1950's. These pills affected Monroe's preforming. She forgot lines, took showers after getting hair and makeup, and drank from cups before she had even poured the coffee. Monroe's producer was concerned. Trouble also occurred in paradise when DiMaggio showed his true colors; violence and jealousy. Their marriage was dreadful. Just 274 days after their marriage, Monroe filed for divorce under mental cruelty.
