ONE OF HOLLYWOOD'S top legends is the star of the Blackhawk Food, Wine and Film Festival on Thursday at the Blackhawk Automotive Museum. Sponsored by the Danville/Sycamore Valley Rotary Club Foundation, the event will feature some of the classic films of the late Marilyn Monroe. Adding to the fun, a Marilyn Monroe impersonator will be available for photo ops.

The mystique of Monroe lingers, decades after her death in 1962. She seemed to have everything to live for — superstardom, talent, beauty, sex appeal, wealth — yet purportedly committed suicide at the relatively young age of 36. The mysterious circumstances surrounding her death and her relationships with President John F. Kennedy, Attorney General Robert Kennedy and her famous husbands, Joe DiMaggio, baseball great, and Arthur Miller, renowned playwright, only add to her celebrity.

So "... that's the "films" part of the festival. The food and wine can be enjoyed from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., along with a silent auction. Food samples from 20 area restaurants and tastes from more than a dozen Livermore Valley wineries will be available. A live auction takes place from 7 to 7:30 p.m.

I added some low quality screencaps to the gallery to the following albums:
118 x JFK's Birthday 1962
76 x 1961/62 Leaving Hospital
101 x 1956-57 Milton Greene Footage
89 x Marilyn Playing Golf
44 x Ray Anthony Party 1952
240 x 1952 Footage

I hope you don't mind they are low quality, but i found them interesting even so.
