Marilyn Monroe was a movie legend, starring in films such as Some Like it Hot and The Seven Year Itch, and in later years, The Misfits, with Clark Gable. She had many affairs, including with John F Kennedy. In 1962, this beautiful star died, probably from suicide. There have been many takes on the life of Marilyn Monroe but in this exceptional, surprising book, Keith Badman has uncovered long-lost or previously unseen receipts, invoices, cuttings, files, interviews, eye-witness accounts, as well as notes that reveal the details of Marilyn Monroe's last days, and how the truth of her last two years has never fully been told. After five years of research, Badman reveals precisely how she died and the cover-up that ensued, delays on the night of her overdose, the name of her real father, the truth behind her well-known farewell message, her remarriage to Joe DiMaggio, and much more. The author has discovered that one member of the DiMaggio family claims to have been talking to her on the phone on the night of her death, when she screamed a name and dropped the phone. Badman uncovers the truth and reveals Marilyn as never seen before.
