Marilyn and John. Rendezvous with Destiny. Fifty years after their untimely deaths, why do Marilyn and John still inspire such incredible fascination? What magic touches ordinary beings-- an abandoned little girl and a great grandson of indigent immigrants-- propelling them to such extraordinary destinies? These characters-- straight out of novels: rich, famous and beautiful-- touched glory and lived through hell, at the White House and in Hollywood. The most powerful President of the twentieth century and the sexiest star in the world, amazingly human behind their glossy public images, tragically disappeared in the prime of their lives-brutal deaths, never completely elucidated, that elevated them to mythical status. The moment they met, each perceived the other as in a mirror-- same origins and similar childhoods deprived of maternal love. Masking deep inner wounds, both were seductive and both unfaithful. Dependent on prescription drugs, they were strong and fragile all at once. The playboy couldn't take his eyes off her and she smiled coyly, as if apologizing for being so pretty. He was eloquent; she was elegant. They both fell under the spell... Their liaison, known by their entourage, intimates or associates, the press, the FBI, the Mafia and even foreign governments, was classified top secret in Puritan America. A true love story or a passing fancy? No matter, their names will remain entwined for eternity.
