Lisa
Marie Presley - (contributed by opctrs)
- from the book by her mother entitled Elvis and Me. Page
194 hardback edition: "He (Elvis) did discipline her (Lisa)
from time to time. Once He paddled her for writing all over a
beautiful velvet couch with crayons, wanting me (Priscilla) to
ensure him that he did the right thing. I told him: "if you
hadn't spanked her, I would have." The only other time
was when he repeatedly warned her not to go near the pool and she
did. Then it goes on to say she remembers this well and is
proudly pleased by her two paddlings.
Liza Tarbuck - (contributed by
Jules) On the UK's Big Breakfast programme (17 April 2000) Liza,
one of the presenters and famous comedian Jimmy's daughter, spoke
at some length about how she was punished with a wooden spoon by
her mother. She said that on one occasion she went and hid in the
utility room to escape her mother, only to be caught out when her
mother sneaked around to the back door. Liza said that she really
got it hard on that occasion, and rubbed her bottom at the memory.

Linda
Fiorentino - (contributed by Jan) - In a newspaper
article about the American actress the following text was
featured. - Ms. Fiorentino, who grew up a middle class child
among eight siblings, wonders what the good sisters at her
catholic boarding school might make of all this. "If you
even whispered in class you got spanked with the big wooden `board
of education,` as they called it" she remembers. "Maybe
with roles like this i`m still rebelling against all their
efforts to turn me into a good little girl."
Marilyn
Monroe - (contributed by MarkD) - In the biography
Joe and Marilyn, by Roger Kahn, it is mentioned that she spent
time as one of several foster children in the Albert Bolender
household. Kahn reports that "When a child became
boisterous, Albert went for his razor strap, bent the child over
his knees, pulled off the clothing, and whipped. Marilyn
said that she could always remember the feel of Albert's leather
on her bare buttocks." (p.74)
He also said that
the Bolenders forbade games of playacting, which Marilyn enjoyed.
She did her playacting hiding in the woodshed, and if she was
caught there she might be strapped. On page 75 Kahn writes:
"There is some reason to suspect that Albert Bolender did
not strap Marilyn purely to save her from a future of brimstone.
Amid all the noise of children, amid all the repressions of
fundamentalist religiosity, he may have enjoyed having his way
with the abandoned little blond girl." (Confirmed) I haven`t read,
Joe & Marilyn, but I have seen another reference which
suggests that Marilyn Monroe was spanked with a razor strop
across her bare backside while growing up. (Enter for

she was a new kid at a school, and was sick on a day that the
school outlawed handstands. The next day, another student
challenged her to a handstand contest. The teacher caught her.
She was made to bend over in front of the entire school as a nun
whipped her as an example to the other students.
