She smelled like hand sanitizer, pure and reminiscent of a hospital. Her lips were like marble, cold and smooth. Her eyes were like a stop light, you wanted them to be green but they were red and occasionally yellow.

Jane Lawrence tells of her affair with Marilyn Monroe in 1955, the two pictured above, in the book Marilyn Monroe: My Little Secret
Edit: I should have mentioned in my original post, Jane was actually 16 while Marilyn was 29. I don’t know what the age of consent was in 1955 in America, but it is quite possible that their first intimate encounter was illegal. Jane talks very fondly about her 10 year friendship and intimate experiences with Marilyn, saying that despite their age gap they bonded over both being orphans and struggling with their attraction to women.
