Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe has remained a cultural touchstone for decades.
Carey recalled the moment when she first laid eyes on the actress while her mother was watching a documentary.
“I’d never heard the name Marilyn Monroe before that moment.
But I was quickly hooked.”
“She had a very difficult childhood, moving from one foster home to another.
That was close to my story,” the singer wrote (viaThe Marilyn Report).
“I latched onto that.
I believed in that.”
Monroe eventually found the piano, storing it until she could find the perfect place for it.
