Holly Beavon Marilyn, Madonna & Felicity Shagwell

Stunning, charming, spot on Marilyn! The hit of the evening!

Holly was the hit of the dinner concert event on the Central Coast of CA! Her look, dress, hair, body language, voice, and even her sense of humor was oh so wonderfully Marilyn Monroe. She was beautiful and charming as she sang and riffed comedy with the audience on stage. Then she mingled with the dinner crowd to the delight of all. She even did some swing dancing with some lucky guys. Nobody wanted to leave without getting their picture taken with her, including an older gentlemen who had met the real Marilyn! When you can impress someone who has seen the real thing, that is something. Thank you Holly for making the evening extra special. It would not have been the same without you.

Holly Bevon as Madonna was AMAZING!! She looked and sounded just like MADONNA! WOW! Her Madonna look bought tears to my eyes. Extrodinary, sweet and brought the house down at my 40th birthday party. She was loved by all that night! She made my party a success! Thank you Holly Bevon or better known as MADONNA!

I am an author who had been an actor until the early 1960's. Marilyn Monroe was a friend, our sporadic acquaintanceship spanned the years from 1953 (when I first met Marilyn) until 1960 when we were to have starred in a film together, THE STRIPPER, at 20th Century Fox studios. I have authored a book of memoirs about Marilyn, INSIDE MARILYN MONROE, published in 2007, based on my relationship with her. I have been a keynote speaker at a number of Memorials for Marilyn, and met Holly Beavon at a fan-based get-together celebrating Marilyn's birthday. Over the years I have encountered a number of Marilyn impersonators, and has never overly impressed. I found there was something usually missing in the individuals (apart from the blonde wigs and 'Marilyn-like' dresses). What I found lacking was a sort of internal energy--something radiating from the individual apart from the surface glamor. Holly Beavon possessed this energy. It was as though once again, after all the years, I was experiencing Marilyn. It is a feeling that far transcends the surface energy and mannerisms presented by others attempting to portray Marilyn. Holly and I posed for a photograph present at the party, and he asked that we kiss. It was a strange moment--for those few seconds, it was as though at least 47 years dissolved.
