The story about Marilyn and the Mocambo is apocryphal, even though it came from Ella herself - though more than 20 years later. Ella was introduced tobtje Mocambo by Eartha Kitt, who had arranged Ella's appearance with Virginia Wicks, a jazz publicist who represented both of tthem.. You the article/photos in Jet magazine - Eartha giving Ella flowers. Marilyn was never there, and Ella was already a superstar. Why would Ella say this? Literally terrible memory and even she got Eartha & Marilyn mixed up 20 years later. I know, as the producer of Eartha Kitt C'est Si Bon the biopic on Eartha.
