But, he diminished her by saying that he had nothing to talk about with her. A gentleman would never say that. Perhaps it’s him who had no other topic apart from baseball 🙄.
@@SculptExpress-gv8jp at Joe’s funeral one of the things that Dom said that one of Joe’s big regrets in life was not finding the right woman. In truth, Joe was absurd to think that Marilyn would put her career aside and be a housewife for him. Joe DiMaggio, for all his greatness on the field, was a very willful and intractable man off of it.
@@dzanier Also it was a very different time in the world. Wish DiMaggio could've embrace Marilyn's fame with support and pride. I believe he did seek psychological analysis at Marilyn's suggestion and found it helpful. It was so touching he was there for her in death. People are complicated but he certainly loved and valued Marilyn.
Absolutely and I believe one of the explanations is that Joe was still alive when this interview happened. Once Joe had passed, Dom was asked again about Marilyn and he gave a reply that perhaps highlights his deep feelings about the relationship: “She was a nice-looking person, but I didn't approve of her thinking," Dom says. "Her career was first. Joe could not condone the things that Marilyn had to do. Joe wanted a wife he could raise children with. She could not do that. When they separated, I wrote to them that it was important for them to stay together, to try to make it work, that the whole world looked upon their marriage as the ideal. I know Marilyn accepted the letter and read it to Joe, but it did not help. Joe had wanted that relationship to work. He held on to it for the rest of his life. At his funeral my daughter said, 'My uncle was a lonesome hero.' She hit it right on the button." - Sports Illustrated, July 2001 I think it’s quite obvious Dom had an even more conservative outlook on marriage and relationships and probably thought this one really hurt his brother exponentially.
Agreed. I think Joe lived his life after Marilyn (and perhaps saw himself) as a widower rather than a divorced man. Dom probably thought it was a real waste as in his eulogy he mentioned how his brother never found happiness in his private life. A bittersweet story indeed.
Back in the day as we are now people were so judgmental even more. When he was asked about Marilyn not interested wow what a gentleman back in the day talk about his brothers wife. We still live in that judgmental live unfortunately.
Dominic was a great baseball player and he actually revolutionized how to play the best defensive centerfield in all of baseball.
Guess Dom wasn't forthcoming about MM because Joe was respectfully and totally private when it came to Marilyn.
I don’t think Dom approved of her.

@@badpuppy09 he adored her. After she died, he had a dozen roses sent to her grave every week for life.
Should be in Hall of Fame !
Didn’t seem to want to be very forthcoming about Marilyn. Probably was sick to death of being asked about her.

@@SilverTechnicolor
That explains a lot. And I think the fact that Joe never married again showed that Marilyn was his one & only 💔

So, Dom was Harrison Butker lol but then again most men back then probably were
È OVVIO CHE GLI CHIEDESSERO DI MARILYN PERCHÉ MARILYN E' UN MITO 💃♀️
He looks just like joe!
The interviewer should have asked, "Anything positive you want to say about MM?"
Why
@@michaellast1224 Why not? She's deceased.
