5 legendary historical friendships you've never heard of
Some of the greatest historical personalities were friends with each other, and these legendary friendships were truly world-changing.
Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe
When Fitzgerald faced with a lot of prejudices that were holding back her career, Monroe persuaded the owners of popular clubs to book Ella. Marilyn attended most performances herself, drawing the attention of press. By the way, all of Fitzgerald's shows were sold out.
C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien
They were fellow professors, both interested in science fiction, fantasy, Norse mythology and writing. Lewis was the first to see Tolkien's sketches and short stories about what would later become Middle-earth – and encouraged his friend to continue. Later, Tolkien helped Lewis survive a rough faith crisis and find inspiration again.
