I already mentioned the giant murals that adorn the façades of certain Cannes buildings and honor famous actors and actresses; back in October, I featured one of Jean Gabin. Today’s photo shows Norma Jeane Baker, better known as Marilyn Monroe. It is located on the side of the Cannes Riviera Hotel on the Boulevard d’Alsace, and the fact that I rarely walk through that part of town is probably why I never saw it before. For whatever reason, the French love Marilyn Monroe, and I’m sure her tragic end has much to do with it (then again, they also love Jerry Lewis. Go figure...) For those who like trivia, let me add that “Monroe” was Marilyn’s mother’s maiden name, and that her birth certificate actually read “Norma Jeane Mortenson” (long story, look it up yourself).
