Travilla admitted that he and Marilyn dated despite the fact that he had been married at the time: "She would make any guy feel like a king. She only looked at you. She never looked around at anyone else."
Travilla, who was one of Marilyn's personal fashion designers, once named her "the easiest person I ever worked with."
