Book excerpt: Suicide? Or murder? Marilyn Monroe's death in August 1962, apparently a suicide, shocked the world. A Hollywood star, a global icon, why would she have killed herself? Yet the coroner's report stated her death was due to a massive overdose of 47 Nembutal capsules. But what about the discrepancies between the official report and the scene of her death? What about the forensic evidence that went missing shortly after she died? Matthew Smith has constructed a startling new version of events. His interpretation is based not only on the full and true forensic evidence from the time, but also on the tapes that Marilyn made for her psychiatrist in the days and weeks before her death, tapes that portray a woman in full charge of her life and looking forward to a bright, busy, successful future. Forty years after her death, Marilyn remains an icon and a mystery. Matthew Smith's investigation into her death will lead to a new understanding of what really happened on the night of August 5th 1962 and in the weeks leading up to it.

Download or read book The Murder of Marilyn Monroe written by Jay Margolis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Best Seller! Since Marilyn Monroe died among suspicious circumstances on the night of August 4, 1962, there have been queries and theories, allegations and investigations, but no definitive evidence about precisely what happened and who was involved . . . until now. In The Murder of Marilyn Monroe: Case Closed, renowned MM expert Jay Margolis and New York Times bestselling author Richard Buskin finally lay to rest more than fifty years of wild speculation and misguided assertions by actually naming, for the first time, the screen goddess’s killer while utilizing the testimony of eye-witnesses to exactly what took place inside her house on Fifth Helena Drive in Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood. Implicating Bobby Kennedy in the commission of Marilyn’s murder, this is the first book to name the LAPD officers who accompanied the US Attorney General to her home, provide details about how the Kennedys used bribes to silence one of the ambulance drivers, and specify how the subsequent cover-up was aided by a noted pathologist’s outrageous lies. This blockbuster volume blows the lid off the world’s most notorious and talked-about celebrity death, and in the process exposes not only the truth about an iconic star’s tragic final hours, but also how a legendary American politician used powerful resources to protect what many still perceive as his untarnished reputation.

Book excerpt: This “extraordinary” account of the superstar’s tragic death, and what led up to it, is “a relentless and detailed quest for the truth” (Lancashire Post). In his illuminating, fascinating book, Keith Badman finally uncovers the truth about the iconic actress’s last years. It was a tough time—one in which Marilyn Monroe’s increasingly erratic behavior and dependence on alcohol and medication plunged her glittering movie career into drastic decline. Meticulously researched, the book reveals precisely how Monroe died at just thirty-six years of age, and shines a light on the suspicious delays on the night of her overdose—delays that indicate a cover-up. He discovers new details about her rekindled relationship with Joe DiMaggio, and the horrendous weekend she spent at Frank Sinatra’s Cal-Neva lodge, as well as why Fox refused to let her finish her final movie, Something’s Got to Give, and her distress at being imprisoned at the Payne Whitney psychiatric hospital. Drawing on private, previously unpublished itineraries and original eyewitness accounts, Badman sheds new light on Marilyn’s involvement with John and Bobby Kennedy, and ends a six-decade-old mystery by telling the precise date of her first encounter with the president. The Final Years of Marilyn Monroe features a deluge of stories of which even die-hard fans will be unaware. “[A] nearly day-by-day account of her life from June 1961 to her death in August 1962.” —Kirkus Reviews Includes photos

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shocking truth behind the death of an American icon—and the conspiracies that kept it secret for decades—in “the best autopsy of Marilyn Monroe” (Cyril H. Wecht, MD, JD) In her tragically short life, Marilyn Monroe embodied American womanhood, innocence, and lust—both as a Hollywood star and in the shadows of her tormented soul.

Download or read book SILENCED New Evidence in the Mysterious Deaths of Marilyn Monroe Dorothy Kilgallen written by Larry Jordan and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique, (7x10), 600-page book is not only an engrossing and intimate biography of two enigmatic women, it explores the mysteries surrounding their untimely deaths, with NEW information never previously revealed. Marilyn Monroe was the movies' Mona Lisa. Dorothy Kilgallen was called the greatest female writer in the world by Ernest Hemingway. Just one day before Marilyn died, Dorothy brazenly printed enough clues in her nationally syndicated newspaper column to link the actress to Robert Kennedy. Irrefutable evidence, including from law enforcement sources, establishes that RFK visited Monroe unexpectedly hours before her death. Kilgallen publicly challenged the cover up of how MM died, and later was found dead under eerily similar circumstances: alone in bed, late at night, with a long delay before police were called. The death scenes seemed staged. Both posed a threat to powerful interests:?Marilyn due to her involvement with the Kennedys, and Dorothy because she threatened to expose the truth behind JFK's assassination. The two women, (who knew each other), were being simultaneously wiretapped and physically surveilled by the FBI, CIA and the mafia. They each confided to friends they possessed information that could put them in danger, and within hours prior to their deaths, had confronted men in their lives whose alibis were easily challenged. Key witnesses were never interviewed and those who were, told conflicting stories. There were perfunctory investigations, glaring contradictions between autopsy results and the wholly implausible "official" findings, disappearing forensic evidence and the premature announcement of the cause of death before any factual basis could be determined. Important and confidential papers much sought-after went missing and friends were certain the women had been murdered. The intriguing overlap between Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Kilgallen and the colorful lives they lead has never been explored until now. Award-winning investigative journalists Larry Jordan and Sara Jordan-Heintz set the record straight, dispel rumors and misinformation that have swirled around the women for decades and bring fresh insights. This meticulously well researched book is a true crime thriller!
Download or read book Goddess written by Anthony Summers and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The updated bestselling biography—based on over six hundred interviews—and the inspiration for the Netflix documentary, The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe, born in obscurity and deprivation, became an actress and legend of the twentieth century, romantically linked to famous men from Joe DiMaggio to Arthur Miller to John F. Kennedy. But her tragic death at a young age, under suspicious circumstances, left behind a mystery that remains unsolved to this day. Anthony Summers interviewed more than six hundred people, laying bare the truths—sometimes funny, often sad—about this brilliant, troubled woman. The first to gain access to the files of Monroe’s last psychiatrist, Summers uses the documents to explain her tangled psyche and her dangerous addiction to medications. He establishes, after years of mere rumor, that President Kennedy and his brother Robert were both intimately involved with Monroe in life—and in covering up the circumstances of her death. Written and updated by a Pulitzer Prize nominee who has authored works on JFK, J. Edgar Hoover, and the 9/11 attacks, this investigation of an iconic star’s brief life and early death is “remarkable. . . . The ghost of Marilyn Monroe cries out in these pages” (The New York Times). Netflix’s The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe will cement this work as the definitive biography of the unforgettable woman.
