The Bonnie, a voice on the phone call on phone call between two friends asked, did you ever

stop and try to figure out why you're only attracted to famous people?

Bonnie's answer was swift, and it seemed to come to her easily.

Quote, being around celebrities makes you feel better than other

people. And it was this feeling of happiness that Bonnie Lee Bakely would chase her entire life. Her journey

started on June 7, 1956 in Morristown, New Jersey. Right from the get-go, her life was rife with grief and abandonment.

Her father, Edward J. Bakeley, was an alcoholic and almost never around. Marjorie Lewis

Bakley sent Bonnie off to live with her mother in Glen Gardner, New Jersey, so Marjorie could

focus on running her own business.

There, Bonnie grew up with her siblings, seemingly lacking the sense of attention and affection

that children need from their parents.

When Bonnie was only 11, she and her sister stumbled upon a pool party, run by a nearby

nudist colony, and Bonnie got her first real fix

of the limelight. After that, Bonnie often attended parties and events held by this nudist colony,

and it was shortly after that that some of the other attendees began taking pictures of her.

The dark undertones of this whole situation were lost on the young

Bonnie, who reveled in the sudden influx of attention from the adults around her, and didn't

stop to ask what those pictures were being used for, or who they were being sold to. But then again,

she was only 11. Maybe spurred on by her popularity amongst the nudist colony,

Bonnie dropped out of school at the age of only 16. Her ambition was to become a model, and to achieve

this, she moved to New York City so she could attend the Barberzon School of Modeling.

It was there that she met the first of what would be a very long line of husbands.
