A blind fortune teller named Nita once fell in love with which apparition in the 1960's?
Hint: he's a character with a long history at his comic book company.
Further hints would give it away.

Lardy has it! The Gentleman Ghost is the character in one of the final issues of Hawkman's Silver Age title.

WTF, really? That was a total guess! I'll have to think up one!

What longtime love interest of a DC hero was said to have her look based on the features of one Norma Jean Mortenson, a.k.a. Marilyn Monroe? (though a cursory glance might argue one of her distinctive features seemed contrary to the character's)

Both of those are wrong. It's significant to note she was based on Norma Jean specifically.

Nope. The character precedes these guesses and precedes "Marilyn Monroe". She's probably not as prominent as these other guesses anymore, though she still appears and was pretty significant for awhile again around 20 years ago.

Quis has it! Vicki debuted way back in '48 and is said to be prominent in Batman comics until '63. She appeared sporadically thereafter (notably in the early '80s) until Tim Burton's Batman film returned her to prominence when played by Kim Basinger. She appeared in the Grant/Breyfogle run for a while around that time and still appears here and there. I was surprised that articles point out her being modeled after Marilyn, especially because Vicki traditionally has red hair.
Your go, Quis!

I can picture them. I think one of them was Tall Marvel.

That's them. Although I think it was just Hill Marvel. Because they were known as Tall Billy Fat Billy and Hill Billy, Not Hillibilly Billy

Sounds like a Golden Age character. Don't know which one though.
