Jodi Fleisher is one of the top Marilyn Monroe Impersonators in the world. She is a professional actress with a BFA in Musical Theater who has impersonated Marilyn Monroe Professionally for over 8 years and looks, sounds, sings, dances and acts exactly like Marilyn. She will dazzle your guests and sing the sexy rendition of "Happy Birthday", pose, as a spittign image, and perform up to a 40 minute shows with all of Marilyn's songs complete with dancing and fun patter.
It was great working with you Saturday evening at the party at the Santa Monica Pier! You were the absolute hit of the evening, both for the party go-ers and everyone who saw you from a distance. Your ability to stay in character while offering a tasteful version of Marilyn showcased your true talent as a performer. I look forward to having you represent Fortune Entertainment at many future events!
I hired Jodie for the Save Venice Event this year at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She not only put on a great show in impersonating Marylin but she also went beyond with her professionalism. We had a full day of rehearsal and working the show out with many other artists involved and Jodi was a pro and pleasure to work with.
I would not hesitate to have her back anytime for any event. Thanks you Jodie for all your hard work and a wonderful evening. Tony Galla
Jodi is beautiful. She is incredibly talented, professional, on time, and all the guests loved her. There was a snafu with our microphone and the background music (the party host fault!) and Jodi ad libbed and made what could have been an uncomfortable moment completely upbeat and entertained the group until the music problem was solved. She went above and beyond and everyone loved her so much that she is returning to our main benefit next month! She looks just like Marilyn, has a beautiful voice and she is such a genuinely sweet person.
Jodi is certainly a professional. She kept her character of Marilyn for five hours in front of my clients. I have heard nothing but rave reviews! Her show was incredible, with wonderful singing and audience participation. She was very accommodating and did a great job of improvising to "sell" the event at an afternoon meeting. She is so good, this next year we will be in California and hope to have her with us again! Excellent!

Thanks so much Charles! You know it was such a wonderful treat and honor to get to perform in Oklahoma! I hope I can get to perform there again and can't wait to see you in CA!
Jodi was a perfect Marilyn Monroe. My 52 guest thought she was lovely, beautifully dressed, and enjoyed making pictures with her. My husband, the birthday boy was thrilled and appreciated her so much. He has lots of Marilyn momentos given to him by his family. It was a great celebration for his 80th!!!! Thanks, Jean Voznick
I know it was a success on every level. Thank you Jodi!

Lot's of Love to you, Dr. B, and all his family and friends. Chinois on Main, and Bella were a delight! Thank you very much and hope to work with you all again soon!
Jodi was an amazingly talented impersonator who absolutely made our party!! She could not have been more perfect and ALL of our guests truly enjoyed her, but especially the birthday boy! I wholeheartedly encourage you to hire Jodi if you're looking for the PERFECT Marilyn Monroe!
I hired Jodi to sing and appear as "Marilyn" for my uncle's 84th birthday party/celebration of life party. My uncle was the asst. film editor on Bus Stop, Seven Year Itch and How To Marry A Millionaire. He has said that as Marilyn, Jodi embodied her a great deal and was spot on in her characterization and performance. Jodi really was Marilyn, for the benefit of one "who was there" to know to real thing. Jodi was punctual, professional and a dream to work with. I would highly recommend her for events. She brings a lot of flair and fun with her appearance. Thanks to her we have great memories for a lifetime... Lisa Gilman, Ambor, Schanzer, and Associates
Response from Jodi Fleisher as Marilyn Monroe:

I am not a DJ. I do require a sound system and microphone in order to sing or perform my show. Though, it is not required for a very small space if I am just singing "Happy Birthday" which is accapella. For gigs out of L.A., I prefer a dressing room to get ready in and a meal before the event. I also require that parking is taken care to make it easy for my arrival with costumes, etc.
