Uy, Marilyn era superfan de Ella, y es relativamente fácil encontrar fotos de las dos juntas.

Además, Ella siempre le estuvo muy agradecida a Marilyn por su apoyo:
"Here, Ella tells the story of how Marilyn Monroe changed her life:
âI owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt ⦠she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him â and it was true, due to Marilynâs superstar status â that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman â a little ahead of her times. And she didnât know it.â
El Mocambo era el cabaré más famoso del Jolibú de la época.
