Fox News: ‘I Love Lucy’ star played matchmaker for Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio: author
Marilyn Monroe was introduced to Joe DiMaggio by actor William Frawley during a dinner in 1952. Frawley approached Monroe and her agent, Norman Brokaw, to facilitate the meeting, as Monroe was unaware of DiMaggio's fame. Their relationship led to a brief marriage in 1954.
