Walking the Tightrope

Niagara Falls
Tonight on ABC, many TV viewers will tune in to watch Nik Wallenda walk across the world's most iconic waterfall, Niagara Falls on a tightrope. He is a seventh-generation stunt performer and the first man to cross the Niagara Gorge by tightrope in 116 years.

The walk will take place just after 10 o'clock tonight which is estimated to take 30 to 45 minutes. Plan to watch this amazing feat on ABC which is lighting up the Falls for the event. Check out the New York Times full story on this event here.

I would love to visit Niagara Falls one day. One of my favorite movies starring Marilyn Monroe is titled Niagara. It's a great movie with a sinister plot. The scenes at the Falls were nice;-)

Happy Birthday ~ Marilyn Monroe


Marilyn Monroe was one of my favorite actresses. She was born on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles, California. She died on August 5, 1962 at the age of 36. A beautiful actress, model and singer who became a major sex symbol starring in several successful movies during the 50s and early 60s.

Marilyn captivated Hollywood and movie producers. The infamous photo where her pretty white dress flutters up while standing over a street grate is an iconic image everyone adores. Marilyn was starring in the movie "Some Like It Hot" during that time with actors Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis.

This is a beautiful video showing a collage of rare black & white photos of Marilyn Monroe on the Santa Monica Beach in 1962.
