“We Couldn’t Stop Looking At Each Other”
When Berniece met Marilyn, who was still known by her birth name of Norma Jeane then, she noted that it was like looking in the mirror to see her sister for the first time. “We couldn’t stop staring at each other,” she wrote. “We had the same dark blond hair with a widow’s peak, the same mouth, but our eyes were different— mine are brown and Norma Jeane’s were blue like our mother’s.”
