August 4, 1962, was Marilyn Monroe’s Deathday.
In May 1962, Marilyn Monroe sang her legendary breathy version of "Happy Birthday, Mr President" to JFK at a Democratic Party fundraiser in Madison Square Garden. Two and a half months later, on August 4, at home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, she died.
In The Guardian, in 2016, David Thomson described her appearance in May 1962 with these words: "....... (she) stood there, with her massed blonde waves jutting off to one side, like the control on tower (of) an aircraft carrier, in a dress that could have been painted on her. ....... This is maybe her greatest moment – the most reckless – and she knows it, even if the summer of 1962 is her hell."
Because of the way we love beautiful women who appear to be free.

Messing with the Kennedy clan was not smart…
