History Channel reference.

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.”

My friends love behind Betty Ford.

Every day at 5pm they line up shots of vodka on the back of their fence.

"Now Marilyn, I would bet she was helped along on her suicide and I think the Kennedy’s were in on it. Also members of “The Rat Pack”."

Hmmmm... Dorothy Kilgallen had a running feud with Sinatra... I don't know what it was about...

Marilyn died from a drug enema.

Yes, from the many books I’ve read about Marilyn this is correct and unfortunately most of what’s being posted here is patently false.

“”RFK was at her home the day of her suicide....not good.”

I had read at the time that RFK’s phone number was the last phone number she had on her telephone records at the telephone company. She had spoken to him just before taking all of the pills.

The article went on to say that while RFK genuinely tried to help people like Marilyn, JFK would do them then forget them and couldn’t care less about them.

Marilyn was beauty incarnate with a sex appeal no one before her even came close to having.

Marilyn Monroe had been married to Joe DiMaggio. Even after the divorce, Joe DiMaggio had a dozen roses sent to her gravesite every day for the rest of his life.

Sure there’s proof. Her housekeeper Eunice Murray said RFK was at her house that day. RFK was in the area, all his records show that.

I believe Joe sent flowers to her grave every week but not every day.

"Well, at least she’s not 92"...

But would Laz still hit it?
