Profiles In Manners and Public Displays of Social Graces
Some may be surprised at my selection of Marylin Monroe, but I chose her because despite the drama that surrounded her and her unpredictable behavior, she at times demonstrated the art of gratitude. One gentleman she was working with on a movie she had been keeping late to assist her to the annoyance of his wife. She sent a dozen roses to his wife with a card apologizing for keeping him late but also thanking her for letting her borrow him to complete the project. When her needs infringed on the priorities of others, I have read the accounts of those who worked with her that she at times expressed gratitude in different ways from flowers, to gifts, to thank you notes.
Below is a thank you note she sent expressing her gratitude for a bottle of Champagne.
One does not always have to have a perfect life to display moments of good social graces, in fact, our imperfections can at times endear us to people more as Marilyn at times demonstrated.

For Crying Out Loud
“I always tell my kids, you don’t have to be the best at sports, the smartest, the best at math, but you do have to have the best manners,”
