The 1950s blonde bombshell not only allegedly admitted to encounters with movie stars such as Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck, Marlene Dietrich and Elizabeth Taylor, she also seduced a 16-year-old girl who ran her fan club, reported Radar Online.

According to author Tony Jerris, the 'Some Like It Hot' star had a very memorable night with teenager Jane Lawrence, with whom she had bonded with over their shared troubled family histories.

"Jane met Marilyn when she was 12 because her adopted father ran the legal department at RKO studio. They soon became close friends after realizing that they had been in the same orphanage at different times of their lives, even though Marilyn was 14 years older, and neither of them knew their birth fathers. They became close friends because there were so many similarities in their past.

"Jane always struggled with her sexuality, she talked to Marilyn about this many times and she was very understanding. She told her, 'Whatever your sexual preference is, it means nothing - love is love,'" said Jerris, the author of 'Marilyn Monroe: My Little Secret'.

In recollections told to Jerris, Jane claimed that the then 29-year-old actress and she shared a physical relationship.
