Cementerios / Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery

Marilyn Monroe
1926 - 1962

LOS ÁNGELES
Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery

Podría decirse que aquí terminan los sueños y la fama, sepultados con el esplendor y la riqueza. Se trata de uno de los cementerios más famosos del mundo, donde reposan desde hace medio siglo los huesos de Marilyn Monroe. Los Ángeles, California: 1218 Glendon Avenue en Westwood. Su nombre completo: The Pierce Brothers Weswood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.

 
Véase la lista de los difuntos. Unos siguen tan vivos y presentes como la rubia platinada, el más codiciado objeto del deseo, trofeo de presidentes y escritores, de beisbolistas y cantantes, y otros van cayendo en el olvido, donde finalmente iremos todos. Tan implacable es el monstruo del olvido que los jóvenes de ahora ya no saben quién fue en vida uno de sus últimos huéspedes, uno de los ángeles de Charlie y una de las actrices más populares de los setenta y los ochenta en el mundo entero. la esplendorosa Farrah Fawcett. Y el 7 de marzo de 2010, durante la entrega de los premios Oscar en la ciudad de los sueños, ni siquiera fue nombrada en el vídeo que homenajeaba a los artistas fallecidos durante los últimos doce meses. La misma noticia de su muerte pasó a segundo plano porque ese mismo día falleció el blanco que una vez fue negro, Michael Jackson.

Véase la lista y agréguese más o menos pronto el nombre de Hugh Hefner, quien ya compró su espacio para dormir junto a la rubia. Hombre de principios en vida y muerte.

Polvo fuimos, polvo seremos, polvo sin nombre. Se diría que solo el viento permanece, mezclando, confundiendo, disolviendo las fugaces memorias de los hombres.
