On August 5, 1962, movie actress Marilyn Monroe is found dead in her home in Los Angeles. She was discovered lying nude on her bed, face down, with a telephone in one hand. Empty bottles of pills, prescribed to treat her depression, were littered around the room. After a brief investigation, Los Angeles police concluded that her death was “caused by a self-administered overdose of sedative drugs and that the mode of death is probable suicide.”
Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson in Los Angeles on June 1, 1926. Her mother was emotionally unstable and frequently confined to an asylum, so Norma Jeane was reared by a succession of foster parents and in an orphanage. At the age of 16, she married a fellow worker in an aircraft factory, but they divorced a few years later. She took up modeling in 1944 and in 1946 signed a short-term contract with 20th Century Fox, taking as her screen name Marilyn Monroe. She had a few bit parts and then returned to modeling, famously posing nude for a calendar in 1949.
She began to attract attention as an actress in 1950 after appearing in minor roles in the The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve. Although she was onscreen only briefly playing a mistress in both films, audiences took note of the blonde bombshell, and she won a new contract from Fox. Her acting career took off in the early 1950s with performances in Love Nest (1951), Monkey Business (1952), and Niagara (1953).
Celebrated for her voluptuousness and wide-eyed charm, she won international fame for her sex-symbol roles in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and There’s No Business Like Show Business (1954). The Seven-Year Itch (1955) showcased her comedic talents and features the classic scene where she stands over a subway grating and has her white skirt billowed up by the wind from a passing train. In 1954, she married baseball great Joe DiMaggio, attracting further publicity, but they divorced eight months later.

Thomas Noguchi, L A coroner thought she was murdered by a poison suppository shoved up her ass. Perhaps a fitting send-off in that she was a human pin cushion having screwed her way up the Hollywood ladder. After marrying DiMaggio she told a friend “Joe’s the last dick I’ll ever suck”. Not quite.
I read an article the other day that addressed the long line of affairs that MM was involved in. While the human pin cushion label might sound a little blunt, it is factual.
“Media whore” … sometimes it’s literal.
Were we not entertained?
Staged death.
She and DiMaggio retired to a private estate in Hawaii.
With Adolf and Elvis?
Adolph retired from fuhrering, and opened a small coffee shop in Argentina.
Elvis? He had bad consumption habits and died.
Marylin Monroe staged her death and retired to Hawaii.
____
Sharon Tate after staging her death for the military, moved to an island in the Caribbean or to a central or south American country.
She returned later, playing as the sister she never had.
____
John Lennon’s staged death was proved after he started a John Lennon impersonator act, and was easily recognized. We see you Mark Staycer!
She wore make-up well.
She wore everything well.
Maybe Norma Jean fucked around and found out? Hanging out with certain political families has , oft-times, unexpected negative consequences.
Where’s that Elton John song about this?
Marilyn Monroe was bloodline, doubt any of the big death scandal was true. At this point I have forgotten more about MM than I ever cared to know.
She was not mentally well, but she was absolutely gorgeous.
Shows what make-up and costume can do for a ordinary looking woman in hollyweird.
