Marilyn Monroe died at age 36 of a barbiturate overdose late in the evening of Saturday, August 4, 1962, at her 12305 Fifth Helena Drive home in Los Angeles, California. Her body was discovered before dawn on Sunday, August 5. She was one of the most popular Hollywood stars during the 1950s and early 1960s, was considered a major sex symbol at the time, and was a top-billed actress for a decade. Monroe's films had grossed $200 million by the time of her death.[1]

Murdered by Bobby Kennedy according to this. It wouldn’t shock me for it to be true.

Where were the “News” reporters?

In their bunkers, as usual.

Norma Jean had a terrible childhood - shuffled around and abused. It’s a miracle she could smile and/or function.

I was always a Jayne Mansfield fan.

She couldn’t act either.

Every time I see Law & Order/SVU I think of her, but I don’t lose my head over it😈

Don’t forget all those killed during Bay of Pigs when JFK reneged on his promise of support. Filthy family.

Martha Elizabeth Moxley (August 16, 1960 – October 30, 1975) was a 15-year-old American high school student from Greenwich, Connecticut, who was murdered in 1975. Moxley was last seen alive spending time at the home of the Skakel family, across the street from her home in Belle Haven.[1] Michael Skakel, also aged 15 at the time, was convicted in 2002 of murdering Moxley and was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. In 2013, Skakel was granted a new trial by a Connecticut judge who ruled that his counsel had been inadequate; he was then released on $1.2 million bail. On December 30, 2016, the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled 4–3 to reinstate Skakel’s conviction. The Connecticut Supreme Court reversed itself on May 4, 2018, and ordered a new trial.[2][3] On October 30, 2020, the state of Connecticut announced it would not retry Skakel for Moxley’s murder.

The case attracted worldwide publicity, as Skakel is a nephew of Ethel Skakel Kennedy, the widow of U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

JFK's father, Joseph Kennedy, had his own daughter Rosemary Kennedy lobotomized in 1941 when she was 23 years old.

She was a vegetable for the rest of her life.

Good work, Dad.

Then there was this:

William Kennedy Smith (born September 4, 1960) is an American physician and a member of the Kennedy family . He is known for being charged with rape in a nationally-publicized 1991 trial that ended with his acquittal.

He was a Georgetown intern in 1988 where I was a patient. One of the other interns could not resist mentioning that “he is a Kennedy”. As if it had anything to do with my medical status!!!!!
