COINCIDANCE<br />
The following article deals with some of the<br />
same subjects, and contains no hoaxing or<br />
deliberate deception at all. Where I am guessing,<br />

"Marilyn," the Blonde Bombshell who could make castrati chew a hole<br />
through the walls of St. Peter's: starting at 19, Norma Jeane studied<br />
anatomy the way Napoleon studied war, learned how to use every muscle,<br />
jogged every day (20 years before that became a fad) and even lifted weights.<br />
By the time she had become "Marilyn," Norma Jeane not only had her<br />
dresses specially designed but sometimes had the literally sewn on her body
