As Marilyn Monroe
Jami is also a well-known Marilyn Monroe tribute artist. She found Monroe at an early age with Some Like It Hot. "I thought she was just incredible. She was so glamorous and talented. I was hooked," Jami says about the late actress. Jami appeared as Monroe for the State Fair of Texas in 2006. Jami's transformation into Marilyn was not an easy one. A coach helped her coax her Texas twang into Marilyn's breathiness, and she's taken singing and dancing lessons to perfect Marilyn's routines. In addition, her blond hair requires weekly peroxide applications. Jami continues to work as a tribute artist.
