Ella Fitzgerald & Marilyn Monroe

Something happened. The friendship of Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe has not been widely discussed and we’re not 100% if all the sources about their relationship are correct, but, again, something happened among the two and it was powerful. Join Alysa and her history buff friend, Crystal, talk about how this moment in history suggests why women should support women. Specifically, they talk about these two women separately, how they came together, and what their friendship meant in the 1950s and could mean now in 2019.
