Dorothy Kilgallen was on the eve of opening up the JFK investigation into Monroe’s death.....I believe she was also found naked.

Jay Leno, “The post office has issued a new Marylin Monroe stamp. When you lick it, you become a honorary Kennedy.”

The Kennedy assassination stinks to high heaven but after many years of seeing all kinds of conspiracy theories, I reluctantly concluded that Oswald did it alone.

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”.

Now I want pie.
Coconut cream pie...

I was in a little town in the northern Catskills. With my parents on vacation. No TV. Only radio in the cars. No car as dad was in the city working. Walked the half mile to town to buy bait or BBs. The local catskill paper had it on the front page.

Sad..…. I was 13 and just starting to notice female ‘assets’. A few months later we almost had a nuclear war. A little over a year later her ‘boyfriend’ got his brains blown out.
An odd time in America

JFK and RFK ‘s #MeToo moment.

Watch out when you go to sleep tonight. Marilyn died from a drug enema.

"Marilyn Monroe died was killed by the Kennedy crime family August 5, 1962 - 56 years ago today."

Corrected.

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

I was 11, visiting my grandparents in MO with my family. I remember when they heard the news on the radio (no TV) my grandpa said “the wages of sin is death”.

I reckon he nailed it.

Well, at least she’s not 92...

[Vendome]

Where you been?

[outofsalt]

What would she post? #Metoo?

[leaning conservative]

She was so beautiful and you’re back! Welcome!

[onedoug]

Try “The Enemy Below”.

Nighthawks at the diner
Emma’s forty-niner
There’s a rendevouz with strangers
Around the coffee urn tonight
