Here I am Mother the Real Story of Marilyn Monroe Mama Mia Marilyn: An InterviewHere I am Mother the Real Story of Marilyn Monroe
Nancy Cusumano is dead, and her daughter, Nancy, is older than her mother when she died. Nancy's daughter starts to tell a story from eons ago, a time before lost innocence. Namesake Nancy tells of her memories of the Marilyn Monroe, her husbands, and her life and death. She studies with Lee Strasberg. She studies at the Lyric theatre in Little Red Riding Hood onstage 1955. An offstage voice asks, 'Riding Hood, Riding Hood, wherefore art thou?' Nancy's daughter replies, 'Here I am, Mother.' Marilyn Monroe enters and tells her story as her daughter tells her mother's story-the real story of an Italian-American from a large family who had a daughter out of wedlock before becoming the largest star of the twentieth century her daughter. Mother and daughter argue. Nancy's daughter recalls Nancy in Manhattan and on Long Island with playwright-husband Arthur Miller. Marilyn Monroe tells of her relationship with baseball star-husband Joe DiMaggio. Nancy's daughter meets her Father again after many years. Witnesses recall the afternoon, May 19, 1962, that Marilyn sang 'Happy Birthday' to President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden. Nancy Cusumano and her Father sing lyrics from Ruggiero Leoncavallo's opera I Pagliacci. Marilyn Monroe recites a poem and sings Dzwonek Eduardo di Capua's 'O Solo Mio.' She muses, 'In Hollywood, they'll pay you $3,000 for a kiss and 50 cents for your soul' and comments on current events of early sixties. Nancy Cusumano dies. Nancy's daughter recollects-somewhat. Backed by Irving Berlin's 'there's No Business Like Show Business,' Nancy's daughter and Nancy Cusumano remember all the characters now gone.
