Those were the words 12-year-old Jane Lawrence remembered when she was asked to head up the up-and-coming blonde starlet's fan club at 20th Century Fox under the supervision of studio head Darryl Zanuck. Jane was no stranger to movie sets or movie stars, being that her father, Sidney Lipsitch, headed RKO's legal department. She spent time with the likes of Robert Mitchum, Lucille Ball, Ethel Merman, Polly Bergen and Irving Berlin, but helping launch the career of one of the world's most legendary sex symbols was a task beyond Jane's wildest dreams.
In author Tony Jerris' new audio book, "Marilyn Monroe: My Little Secret," he explores Jane's working relationship with the actress and how it developed into a special friendship that lasted right up until Marilyn's untimely death on August 5, 1962.
