Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jean Mortensen 100 years ago on June 1st, 1926. On the cusp of major

Hollywood stardom in late 1954, Maryland moved to New York City on a quest to become a better

actress and to find a little piece on streets where she could sometimes go unnoticed.

Now, we're big old movie buffs here on the Bowery Boys, and to celebrate a century of Maryland,

we've remastered and re-edited a show we recorded on Maryland's New York back in 2022.

So raise a toast to Maryland tonight and put on something a little extra glamorous for fun.

I heard that you're moving to New York City to live as yourself.

Yes, this will be my home from now on.

That is until I retire.

And when I retire, I'm going to retire to Brooklyn.

Really?

Why Brooklyn?

Oh, that's my favorite place in the world so far that I've seen.

I haven't traveled much, but I don't think I'll find anything to replace Brooklyn.

You're going to help our rating in Brooklyn about nine points.

Why is it Brooklyn? What happens there with you?

Well, almost everything.

I just like walking around.

I think the view is better from Brooklyn.

You know, you can look back over and see Manhattan.

Yeah, that's the only place you can see Manhattan from your place.

That's the best view, but it isn't only the view.
