In the book, And the Rest Is History, author Marlene Wagman-Geller, the story of their first meeting is revealed. A photograph is what started their love. Dimaggio saw a photograph of her in her shortest shorts, a baseball cap, and high heels. He had immediate interest and got in contact with her agent, who then in turn arranged a blind date.
