Believe she was offed by the Mafia — a good bit of evidence and unresolved circumstances. Met with a mob-related figure after Sunday’s “What’s My Line” TV show, found fully clothed in a recumbent position and in a spare bedroom of her NYC townhouse, transcript of her JFK exposé book missing, death cert issued by a mob-connected coroner. And do not forget Frank Sinatra and she had a long term feud. She maintained he was controlled by the Mafia, and he attacked her looks and journalistic abilities. Complicating factor to my thinking is that her husband Dick Kollmar was a serial philanderer, and she may have had affairs, as well.
Yeah right
The FBI used sexual blackmail , just like the mob.
Why do you think Hillary Clinton stole hundreds of those FBI files, hmmm ?
Go back to sleep, sheep, bahhhhhh
Yes, she was a very heavy drinker — an alcoholic — and used barbiturates. Her son was told by a doctor that she was kept in the hospital for three weeks following a nasty fall so she could be weaned off booze and barbiturates.
I remember Kilgallen as a panelist on the TV show “I’ve got a secret”. It was a humorous show where guests would answer questions from the panel about their ‘secret’. If the panel could not guess the secret, the guest would win a small prize. The panel would wear blindfolds if the guest was a celebrity. I don’t recall any controversy about her death. This was back in the days when humorous shows on the networks were actually funny.
Always thought she was a dud. I’m 80 so probably have different outlook.
Supposedly, Ruby was hopelessly in debt to Marcello and other mob bosses and was told to kill Oswald, or else. As early as a month after the assassination, Ruby began to say that he wanted to tell the true story, even requesting a polygraph in order to establish his veracity. Earl Warren eventually met with Ruby in Dallas but denied his request to be taken to Washington for his safety so that he could tell the full story. After that, Ruby turned to Kilgallen.
By temperament, Kilgallen was a chatterbox with a poor choice in men. Back in New York, she claimed that she had the goods on who killed JFK and was going to blow the case wide open in a book. The notes and manuscript though disappeared after Kilgallen's death.
And smart as a whip! You could see it in the way she worked things out.
There’s no evidence whatsoever that J. Edgar Hoover was homosexual. However, he had a lot of enemies—Communists, Nazis and gangsters—who would love to spread such a rumor.
