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.”

It might bring up uncomfortable discussions about the men who used (& abused) her...like JFK, maybe?
“Probable suicide”
No mention of the Brothers Jack and Bobby Kennedy.
That may have something to do with the failure to note the occasion.
At least she won’t be posting her blog or vanities.
So there’s that to appreciate.
LMAO.
I was recently reading a short biography of Dorothy Kilgallen. She was a journalist who frequently appeared on the old TV show "What's My Line?". Kilgallen was working on a story about the JFK assassination. All of a sudden she dies from an alcohol and drug overdose.
When I was a kid in Panama City, FL, our parents took us to see “River Of No Return”.
A few months ago I saw it again on TV. It was just as good as I remembered and Marilyn was really something.
What a complex person. Sad childhood, popping good looks, tons of early abuse, and then Hollywood got ahold of her.... and then the Kennedys. Even her doctors were not to be trusted. She didn’t know what to do with her life. She was given so many directions and she took some of the worst ones.
I said, “Oh, how sad.” Tom the Son said, “She probably deserved it.” (Tom the Son is a tough audience.) The rest of the family calculated that none of us had been born at the time, so it couldn’t possibly be our fault.
Howya, ‘gunner. I’m glad you’re back with the program. Stay above water!
Cool.
I have some thoughts and opinions on the actual cause of Marilyn Monroe’s death.
I can’t guarantee that any of them were true. But what I can guarantee with 100% accuracy is that the official stated cause of death is bologna.
ditto for JFK’s assassination. I don’t know the true story, but I can guarantee you what it isn’t and that would be the results of the Warren Commission.
That was a good movie and I never cared for Robert Mitchum that much.
Goes almost without saying. And her doc was in on it too.
How many years ago did Ted try to save (cough cough) that girl from drowning?
She was very beautiful. I recall in the 90s that there were articles talking about how by 90s standards she’d be considered a fatty (part of the movement to get women to not be worried about their weight). That worked really well, so well that by 2010s standards she’d considered practically anorexic.
“At least she won’t be posting her blog or vanities.

He’s baaaack!
RFK was at her home the day of her suicide....not good.
