Donald Spoto wrote the book "Marilyn :The Biography" and Susan Strasberg was the daughter of Marilyn's Acting coach Lee Strasberg from the Actors Studio NYC
Susan Strasberg wrote a beautiful note in one of her books for me when I just came to Hollywood as a young actress. She told me to follow my dreams. I still have the book and cherish it!
I truly believe Joe and Marilyn were going to get remarried. Mainly because Joe never got married after Marilyn's death. That to me shows Joe's loyalty and devotion to Marilyn and probably lived the rest of his life with a broken heart because of her untimely death.
kaleo yamane yes I think Joe knew more than what he reveled becausevhe was more private and something Marilyn was serking since fame became interuptive to a privsye life....I think it took yome but yes they lived each other hevecperienced fame first then she and she found fame a phamtom also and wanted a more private life that she was forced to give up.
He was the only one to claim her body at the end. They had become friends, since the turbulant time of their marriage. Perhaps he came to realize what a horrible mistake he made by putting his hands on her. He spent the rest of her life trying to make up for this.
I love Donald Spoto and I love his book on Marilyn. But I disagree that she didnt have an affair with Bobby Kennedy. Dimaggio refused to shake Bobby Kennedy's hand at a baseball tribute. That says alot. The things Spoto said about Marilyn at the very end were very beautiful. I think Monroe was the greatest model of all time. Every picture she ever took was brilliant. She had the greatest joy in front of a camera more than I have ever seen. As an actress, it was more complicated. But Monror never got the chance to keep evolving with her acting. I love Marilyn.
Aahhh Brenda 👍🏾 I couldn’t agree more with your analysis! What is Spoto afraid of?? Of course Marilyn had a secret affair with Bobby Kennedy. The whole of Hollywood and the mob who hated Bobby Kennedy knew this! If there was no other evidence because it was conducted so carefully and secretly, at least the Housekeeper; Eunice Murray bears witness to the affair and his to-ing & fro-ing from Marilyn’s Brentwood home. In the Documentary entitled ‘Say Good-bye to the President’ (1980s) the now older Mrs Murray verbally admits that on the day Marilyn died Bobby was at her house and there was an argument when “things got sticky” she said, but “I didn’t get involved because I was never made a part of this” she further said. The fact that Marilyn had died earlier on in the evening but her death was reported several hours later around 03:00am when rigour mortis had already set in, goes to show that they were clearing every evidence of involvement with Bobby Kennedy; her Red Diary went missing!! The first Police Officer on the death scene Sergeant Jack Clemons had said that looking at Marilyn’s body on the bed, he knew immediately that she hadn’t died there but was moved from somewhere else in the house into her bedroom. Mrs Murray (Housekeeper) was laundering bed linen at 3:00am when Marilyn laid there lifeless! What was she washing? The soiled linen from the enema they gave Marilyn. Dr Noguchi in his post-mortem report said there was nothing in Marilyn’s stomach except 2teaspoons of water, however large quantities of crystallised Nembutals were found in her large intestine (colon) suggesting that whatever was given was administered via an enema for quick absorption etc etc etc…….
MiamiPush2theLimit there is a pic og Lawford at the wherl of a Lincoln with Grernson and Robert Kennedy in the back seeat speeding down Santa Monica Blvd that night she died..Gogle it...a cop testified he had pulled them over for speeding
Susan all you wanted was her money and your family is still making money off her poor girl she thought you were all her friends too bad she didn't have children to leave it all too your family took her for a ride to he'll and back shame money hungry people
Why hasn't the truth, known by several at the time of death, ever came out by Now? She was either accidently or purposelly murdered,it is known fact just as o.j. s guilt was.... I don't get it
