Marilyn Monroe, the name radiates with Beauty, Affair, and of course death. But what happened to this glamorous and beautiful young woman? Was she
murdered, was it an accident or was it a suicide. This thread will delve deeply into the possibility of all three. Perhaps this will shed light on
what really happened to her.
Brief Biography
Marilyn Monroe
She was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles, California, to Gladys Baker. As the identity of her father is undetermined, she
was later baptized Norma Jeane Baker. Gladys had been a film cutter at RKO studios, but psychological problems prevented her from keeping the job and
she was eventually committed to a mental institution.
As the above describes. Marilyn’s mother had psychological problems. Which may have passed down to her daughter. Her father was unknown and he could
have had psychological problems, unfortunately we will never know. Also what we see is that Marilyn’s mother's psychological problems were so
severe that she was forced to quit her job.
Norma Jeane spent most of her childhood in foster homes and orphanages until 1937, when she moved in with family friend Grace McKee Goddard.
Unfortunately, when Grace's husband was transferred to the East Coast in 1942, the couple couldn't afford to take 16-year-old Norma Jeane with them.
Norma Jeane had two options: return to the orphanage or get married.
As we also see here she faced many challenges in her young life. What she missed the most in her life was balance. She never had a balance of life,
never had what she needed. Again as you can see life all over...
On June 19, 1942 she wed her 21-year-old neighbor Jimmy Dougherty, whom she had been dating for six months. "She was a sweet, generous and
religious girl," Jimmy said. "She liked to be cuddled." By all accounts Norma Jeane loved Jimmy, and they were happy together until he joined the
Merchant Marines and was sent to the South Pacific in 1944.
She liked to be cuddled a highly important statement. Because it shows and demonstares that she was yearning for love and not just :love" but
unconditional love. Which Jimmy did not provide, because he left her. At this time young Marilyn enrolled herself in Drama classes and began to study
Jean Harlow and Lana Turner. After getting a job at 20th Century Fox, Marilyn died her hair blonde and divorced Jimmy. Sometime later Marilyn Married
Joe DiMaggio.
Unfortunately, Marilyn's fame and sexual image became a theme that haunted their marriage. Nine months later on October 27, 1954, Marilyn and Joe
divorced. They attributed the split to a "conflict of careers," and remained close friends.
Marilyn has now and will be an image for all. This was a clear turning point, not only adding stress to her, but stress to her way of life. She was
sought after by lovers, not true love. This would plague her in her life.
On June 29, 1956, Marilyn wed playwright Arthur Miller. The couple met through Lee Strasberg, and friends reported she made him "giddy."
Again as we can see she is looking for LOVE, not lovers as many people has suspected.
Sadly, in a shocking turn of events on the early morning of August 5, 1962, 36-year-old Marilyn died in her sleep at her Brentwood, California
home. The world was stunned. Marilyn's vibrant spirit and beauty made it impossible to believe she was gone. On August 8, 1962, Marilyn's body was
laid to rest in the Corridor of Memories, #24, at Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles, California.
Then everything changed, Marilyn died. But the real question was:
1) Was it an accident?
2) Was it Suicide?
3) Was it Murder?
And if any of those were to be suspected, the question would become: Why?
This thread is dedicted to Marilyn Monroe and will hopefully shed some light on her and her life.
Her Psychological State
As we have read above Marilyn was plagued by psychological drama and perhaps an unidentified psychological disorder. Psychological problems that were
clear:
1) Had a rough childhood
2) Was a shy child
3) never had balance. Never had a clear family
4) Did not understand: Love
5) Never had true love
6) Was wanted because of her sensuality in the eyes of all men
7) Which all of this led to depression, and not just depression, but severe depression.
8) Drank a lot to battle the depression (Drank with her pills)
9) Her brother killed himself in WWII
10) Her Grandmother suffered from psychological issues on her mother’s side.
Unclear Psychological issues:
1) Her mother had a clear history of psychogical issues
2) It was serious enough for her to be institutionalized
She could have had a psychological issue. This issue would have followed her all the way to her death and could of been a reason why she died. Not
only that, but Marilyn was suffering from severe insomnia. Which leads us to:
Drug Abuse
She overdosed on the drugs Nembutal and Chloral Hydrate, or so the official story goes. Lets examine what these drugs are.
Nembutal:
The barbiturates are nonselective central nervous system depressants which are primarily used as sedative hypnotics and also anticonvulsants in
subhypnotic doses.
LINKY
However, Nembutal is not given out as often as it used to be due to its powerful addiction and dangers of overdosing.
Chloral Hydrate:
Chloral hydrate is a sedative and hypnotic drug as well as a chemical reagent and precursor.

Monroe was obviously batteling severe insomnia. And these pills mixed with a cocktail of alcohol could be potentially fatal. In fact Monroe was found
dead with an empty bottle of Nembutal on her nightstand and the prescription was for 50 pills and filled 2 or 3 days before. It was recommended that
she only take 1 per day.
Affairs
Before proceeding further it is important to know who she was hanging around with and maybe the motives they could have had.
Richard Burton:
LINK
Famous ladies man Richard Burton cheated on his first wife with Hollywood sex icon Marilyn Monroe, according to startling revelations in a new
biography of the film legend.
Frank Sinatra:
LINK
That same year Marilyn became involved in a highly publicized, but short-lived affair with Frank Sinatra.
John "Jack" Kennedy and Robert Kennedy:
LINK
According to friends of Marilyn, a relationship developed between Marilyn and the two Kennedy brothers. She was believed to have had separate
affairs with the two men simultaneously. Her relationships with Robert and John, unknown to the public, became the talk of Hollywood. Marilyn was
often seen dancing or in intimate conversation at private parties with Bobby or John. According to her closest friends, her heart belonged to the
elder brother, John.
And probably many others. But these were the high rolers! Especially, Robert and John Kennedy, they would play a vital role.
Infact, people often quote this as why, Mariyln loved John more than Robert.
Lets not forget that she wasn't "high" or "drunk" in this video. Infact she was sick and had a temperature of 103. But none the less she
performed.
Her Words- The Words That Give Light On Her Life
Before we get to the Scene of the Crime and the theories and my conclusion to everything. I think it is imprtant to see what she spoke and lets see
what she really felt.
"I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy."
"An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine."
"Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered."
"I don't want to play sex roles any more. I'm tired of being known as the girl with the shape."
As we can visibly see this woman was and knew that she was being viewed as a sex symbol and in most cases she enjoyed it. But deep down and further
on, we begin to see an affect happening. She becomes "tired", views herself as a "machine", feels "Hurt" and worst of all viewed herself and her
life as a fantasy.
I am going to post this, I believe Marilyn Said it, but if she did not just disregard this quote:
Marilyn was in an interview and the man asked her why didn't she go to some big event. Marilyn smiled and said, "Because no one asked me."
The interviewer said, "What? No one asked you?"
Marilyn then said, "No one asked me because they thought I had a date."
It was something along those lines, but it was very powerful to what she said. Everyone thought that the woman, Marilyn Monroe, the goddess of
Hollywood had a date and NO one asked her out. That was a very powerful quote if you can see the deeper meaning of it.
