MAILBOX MARILYN

This is the infamous "Mailbox Marilyn" I first saw Marilyn in 1970 on the northside of Chicago in the Rush St. area, doing what she did best.

The reason she was named Mailbox Marilyn is because she carried self addressed stamped envelopes on her. When she would get paid for a date she would put the money in the envelope, and mail it to herself, this way if she got stuck up by a trick they wouldn't get her bank roll.

Marilyn is no taller than 4ft. tall and when she went she went too jail other whores would try too take her money, but the only one that got a hand on it was the postman.

She is no longer hooking, she is now panhandling at Washington and Wabash.

One of the Great Characters Of Chicago!
