Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe, the Hollywood icon who passed away in 1962 at age 36, is the subject of a shocking new documentary on the streaming platform.

"I investigated this in the 1980s," he said. I think that endless story about Marilyn, or the end of Marilyn’s life about how she died… "There’s been so much trash written about the end of Marilyn Monroe and her involvement with the Kennedys," he said. "She sought out a lot of therapy," said Cooper. "This was somebody who really couldn’t sleep and had terrible insomnia issues. "What I was trying to do as the storyteller here was to untangle some strands. "… One found that the Kennedys were one way, related or friendly, with the key people [at] ABC who’d canceled the program," he alleged. "Walter Schaefer, the boss of the ambulance company, said very clearly to me, ‘We took her and we brought her home again.’" Nobody knew that Marilyn had been brought to the hospital and found to be dead." But what’s interesting to me was the sensitivity even years later when ABC television attempted to make a documentary about the end of Marilyn’s life. It was very important for me to try and find a sense of truth, as observed by Tony. The truth is most likely somewhere in the middle." [Greenson] told me he was in the ambulance." "She died in the ambulance," Sherlock alleged.

Emma Cooper directed the documentary, which is based on a lot of audio interviews with journalist and author Anthony Summers. Summers wrote Goddess: The Secret ...

In the hope that Netflix’s second Marilyn Monroe film of 2022, Andrew Dominik’s already controversial “Blonde,” does a better job of meeting her halfway, we’ll keep an eye out for its release date. Her apathy in sex was similar to the disinterest of a porch light in the moths that gather around it. As a result of watching Emma Cooper’s “The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes,” I couldn’t help but assume that even the most renowned pin-up of all time would be astonished to see her image stretched so thinly. The goal is to create a platinum blonde Citizen Kane—a memory play that pushes its subject further out of focus with every subsequent detail—but the potentially compelling artifice of watching people lip-sync pre-existing conversations tends to clash against the stated mission of a documentary that strives to correct the record. To find out, we’ll have to see if “The Unheard Tapes” makes the Netflix Top 10, although we doubt anyone who does watch it would think the fruit of their labor was worth the price of admission. Even more remarkable, Monroe was candid about these things while she was still alive, maybe in an effort to save herself from being suffocated by her own fame. Monroe could never grasp the ridiculousness of becoming internet material, as difficult as it was for her to be a newspaper copy. However, the opening sequence, which features Summers sifting through his old papers while a soundtrack of overtly tense music plays, suggests the kind of lightweight and superficial true-crime exposé that has made straight-to-streaming documentaries look like such unserious business. But even if it seems impossible, the film is a treasure trove of previously unseen tales from people who knew Monroe well about her tragic death in 1962, which was declared a probable suicide. Emma Cooper directed the documentary, which is based on a lot of audio interviews with journalist and author Anthony Summers. Summers wrote Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe in 1985, which was a New York Times bestseller. The terrible death of Marilyn Monroe over 60 years ago still has the public’s attention. Even if Norma Jeane Mortenson had lived to be 100, the Marilyn Monroe fetish would have outlived her.

Marilyn Monroe was a remarkable actor – so why are we only fixated on her death? A new Netflix documentary gives the Hollywood bombshell the true crime ...

Missing from that reading is the raw skill she had as an actor: her loopy guile in Some Like It Hot, the dangerous allure she brought to the underrated noir Niagara, or the piercing loneliness of her work in The Misfits, her final film. Or that much of her life seemed to be an endless parade of sexual abuse, exploitation and bullying from the men she put so much romantic faith in. But like so many Netflix true crime sagas, the film’s central figure becomes little more than a body, one that we’re invited to know intimately and gynecologically; a prop to ponder about. She is, after all, the prototype of all kinds of modern media phenomena, from the mystery and allure of the “dead blonde” in popular entertainment (see Twin Peaks or any of the television formed in its image), to the hyperfixation with young women struggling in the spotlight. “Missing White Woman Syndrome”, or a kind of discrimination in which missing persons or victims of crime are granted comparatively larger news coverage when they’re young, white, female and pretty, feels somewhat indebted to her, too. Nothing gets confirmed, making the whole thing a bit aimless, but there are allusions to Monroe’s affairs with both President John F Kennedy and his brother Robert – which may have put her in fatal government crosshairs – as well as claims she was being investigated and monitored by the FBI due to her leftist politics.

Netflix's The Unheard Tapes reveals previously unheard recordings of those around Marilyn Monroe.

"She died in the ambulance," Sherlock alleges in the documentary. It's usually the false things." They had done everything to hush this up." "They came on the scene immediately. It had to be instructions from someone high up, higher than [former FBI director J Edgar Hoover]. The [attorney] general or the president." The case was closed.

Netflix's new documentary, The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes, looks into the life and death of Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe.

Marilyn Monroe created a legacy in Hollywood with her death a heartbreaking mystery decades on. Netflix's The Unheard Tapes digs deep but what does it leave ...

Tragically, like a lot of Hollywood at the time, Marilyn had learned to depend on medication in order to deal with the pressures of her life. While JFK has no doubt been cemented as the more famous brother, private investigator Fred Otash told Spada that Bobby had ended things with Marilyn on the day of her death in August 1962. In fact, the extent of Marilyn’s relationships with Bobby and JFK varies from biographer to biographer. To the point that outside forces felt the need to step in and remove her from the equation? Instead, it focuses on recorded interviews with those who knew her, and their thoughts on her overdose, which continues to spark conspiracy theories to this day. She was smart, savvy and aware of the world.

A PRIVATE investigator revealed how he heard Marilyn Monroe having sex with President John F Kennedy and brother Bobby during their secret rendezvous.

Guilaroff told Vanity Fair that "Marilyn telephoned me in despair. “The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn’t put a name to it. Monroe allegedly said that she was supposed to see one of those men that night, and was angry that the plans fell through. Her psychiatrist told LA suicide watch professionals that he had "had calls that morning and by the time I saw her she was in a rage. Leave Bobby alone.'" In the days leading up to her death, sources claimed Monroe told confidants that she was pregnant with one of the Kennedy's children, but she was forced to "lose the baby." In the week leading up to her death, Monroe spent a lot of time making phone calls to old friends and acquittances. The bombshell doc also revealed documents that suggested Monroe was privy to nuclear government secrets that made her a threat to the Kennedy family and the country's national security. She also told columnist and writer Sidney Skolsky that she was in a relationship with Bobby's brother John and that the two were intimate on several occasions. The doc also explores who the actress was with during her final days and the extent of the Kennedys' involvement. He claims to have installed listening devices in the actress' home as well as the beach house at the home of John and Robert's brother-in-law, Peter Lawford. Talking in an interview that was shared in a new documentary, The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes, John Danoff, says he was hired by a rival to dig up dirt on the Kennedy brothers.

Afterward she would ask, ‘How do you feel now that you have a daughter that you’ve made love to?’ ” Despite her friends in the documentary claiming she never cheated on her husband, Curtis claimed he had fathered a child while she was married to Arthur Miller, which she lost in one of her many tragic miscarriages.

Marilyn Monroe died of a drug overdose on August 4, 1962, in her Los Angeles home. Her death was ruled a probable suicide by officials. Nothing in Summer's book ...

So many saw her as a prize to win, rather than a talent to behold. Marilyn Monroe died of a drug overdose on August 4, 1962, in her Los Angeles home. It does not come to any new conclusions beyond what was already covered in his book, but it’s undeniably fascinated to hear the archived taped interviews about the movie star—even if the accompanying “reenactments,” featuring actors lip-syncing to the audio, are silly.

“Tony discovered that she was vulnerable to falling prey to men who did not have her best interests at heart—men who saw something in Marilyn and her strength that they wanted to diminish,” says Cooper. “I see that all around me in many relationships with women of all ages. To make the audio more visually compelling for her documentary, Cooper filmed recreations of the conversations—with actors in period costume reenacting the calls with Summers. The documentary offers an unparalleled glimpse at an investigation of this scale, as well as fragmented recollections about Monroe directly from the people who knew her. The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes, premiering Wednesday on Netflix, uses them to construct another portrait of Monroe. While The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes won’t turn up any new reporting, it is a fascinating listen for true-crime fans or anyone interested in celebrity investigations. And I really found that to be true here.”

She was a multidimensional, wonderful, amazing human being," says the director. "I was like, 'I won't, of course. She worked incredibly hard. It's an investigation where everything we thought we knew is not really correct." Was there a cover-up? "If you then say to me, 'Why were those circumstances covered up?' I would say that what the evidence suggests is that it was covered up because of her connection with the Kennedy brothers." Given Monroe's ties to the White House, the Kennedys, the mob and others, questions swirled — and continue to swirl — about her final days.

How did Marilyn Monroe die and where was Bobby Kennedy when Marilyn Monroe died? The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe on Netflix investigates.

Fred Otash, a private detective who claimed he had bugged Peter Lawford’s house and phones in order to dig up dirt on the Kennedys, said that Robert Kennedy called Monroe that night and that the two had a vicious argument. Bobby Kennedy called her the night of her death from Lawford’s house. … But she had come to a point where she felt like she was being used.

For the past 60 years, there's been one story about Marilyn Monroe's death. Here's what to know about the new Netflix documentary that explores her death.

Cyril Wecht, a prominent forensic pathologist, told People that this suggests that “she might have been injected” with the drugs. The official word is that Marilyn died of an overdose. Writer John Sherlock also says in the doc that Greenson told him Marilyn was alive at home and died on the way to the hospital. The changing story, he says, “suggests that the circumstances of her dying were covered up.” "Bobby Kennedy called her the night of her death from [his sister's] house. [Greenson] told me he was in the ambulance.” Summers says in the documentary that it’s possible that “the Kennedys said, ‘Sh*t, she can make public that we’ve been discussing nuclear matters’….[and] thought, ‘We’ve got to stop all this. “No, she wasn’t [dead at home],” ambulance company owner Walter Schaefer says in the documentary.

The Mystery of Marilyn includes so many interviews—many with people who were deeply pained by what had happened to her—that it may seem unfair to single out a few of the movie’s more crass figures. What’s more, hearing this now 40-year-old testimony from a relic of old Hollywood serves as a reminder of how the business used to work—and in that context, that it took until 2017 for Harvey Weinstein to fall seems all the more remarkable. And yet hearing an old coot salivating about how Marilyn used to “put out” comes off as yet another instance of how, even in 2022, we just can’t let Marilyn alone. This three-way friendship points directly to the shady circumstances surrounding Marilyn’s death—there’s no real news there, but even today, the degree of the brothers’ involvement with the star, and how it may have influenced or even caused her death, is still a subject of speculation. Those taped interviews, never available to the public, have been dramatized and shaped into the documentary The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes, directed by Emma Cooper and featuring Summers as a guide. As the case was being reopened, a British newspaper suggested that Irish-born journalist Anthony Summers might want to launch his own investigation, which resulted in 650 tape-recorded interviews and eventually led to a 1985 book, Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe, which presented new and credible evidence about the events surrounding Marilyn’s death.
