I'm John Huston.

00:00:37,124 --> 00:00:41,824
By chance I directed Marilyn
Monroe's first major film
6
00:00:41,867 --> 00:00:43,652
as well as her last.
7
00:00:43,695 --> 00:00:48,744
Marilyn had a strange, a
startling impact on the world.
8
00:00:48,787 --> 00:00:54,184
Even today, across the
headlines of far greater events,
9
00:00:54,228 --> 00:00:57,970
her gentle, haunted image
continues to appear.
10
00:00:58,014 --> 00:01:01,844
There's very few stars
that are bigger in death
11
00:01:01,887 --> 00:01:05,065
than they were in life,
but Marilyn Monroe
12
00:01:05,108 --> 00:01:08,590
was such a huge star
throughout the '50s
13
00:01:08,633 --> 00:01:11,375
that it's hard to imagine
she could become even bigger.
14
00:01:11,419 --> 00:01:13,377
But she just goes on and on.
15
00:01:13,421 --> 00:01:15,858
You can ask an old
person or a young person.
16
00:01:15,901 --> 00:01:18,078
They all know who she is.
17
00:01:18,121 --> 00:01:21,429
I was researching a film about
the 1960s, called "The Times
18
00:01:21,472 --> 00:01:23,561
They Are A Changing," a
documentary I was making
19
00:01:23,605 --> 00:01:27,826
and I was going through
the FBI archives
20
00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:30,829
and I came across a new
release under the Freedom
21
00:01:30,873 --> 00:01:34,137
of Information Act
on Marilyn Monroe.
22
00:01:34,181 --> 00:01:38,402
And I started reading it
and I couldn't believe it.
23
00:01:38,446 --> 00:01:41,013
Why do you believe
there was a cover up?
24
00:01:41,057 --> 00:01:45,322
I think that her death
had political implications,
25
00:01:45,366 --> 00:01:47,324
particularly in Washington
with the Kennedys.

The business of Marilyn
Monroe is extraordinary.

00:02:28,452 --> 00:02:30,759
And you know there are
Marilyn Monroe collectibles.
29
00:02:30,802 --> 00:02:33,109
There are books about
Marilyn Monroe collectibles.
30
00:02:33,153 --> 00:02:35,546
There are books here of
her personal archives
31
00:02:35,590 --> 00:02:37,026
that they've recreated.

00:02:37,069 --> 00:02:40,116
Everything you want to buy
with Marilyn Monroe on it

00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,206
is out there, lunch
boxes, you name it.

As a business, Marilyn
Monroe will never die.
37
00:02:51,649 --> 00:02:55,523
I mean there is an endless
fascination in any kind of way
38
00:02:55,566 --> 00:02:58,526
that you want to hang
on to Marilyn Monroe,
39
00:02:58,569 --> 00:03:01,442
even if it's on your key
chain, you can do it.

We are at the Roosevelt Hotel,
in Hollywood, California.
41
00:03:05,315 --> 00:03:08,797
Marily Monroe stayed here quite
a bit throughout the 1950s.
42
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,973
She would come here,
get away from the hustle
43
00:03:11,016 --> 00:03:13,018
and bustle and
craziness of Hollywood,
44
00:03:13,062 --> 00:03:15,238
and relax here at the hotel.
45
00:03:15,282 --> 00:03:18,241
We are in what was known as
the Marilyn Monroe suite.
46
00:03:18,285 --> 00:03:21,288
Back in the 1950s, this
room was a lot smaller.
47
00:03:21,331 --> 00:03:22,593
What had happened
throughout the years
48
00:03:22,637 --> 00:03:24,029
when they remodeled
the hotel, they
49
00:03:24,073 --> 00:03:25,814
more than likely
have taken two rooms
50
00:03:25,857 --> 00:03:27,337
and they bonded them together.
51
00:03:27,381 --> 00:03:28,991
So it's a large suite now.
52
00:03:29,034 --> 00:03:31,515
It's right across from the pool,
right out here on the balcony
53
00:03:31,559 --> 00:03:32,995
and the pool is right below us.
54
00:03:33,038 --> 00:03:34,518
And that's where one of
Maryland's first photo shoots
55
00:03:34,562 --> 00:03:36,041
took place.

00:03:36,085 --> 00:03:38,305
The Roosevelt itself has got
a long history of haunts.
57
00:03:38,348 --> 00:03:40,959
And that there's even
rumors going around
58
00:03:41,003 --> 00:03:43,658
or word going around that
the housekeeping staff has
59
00:03:43,701 --> 00:03:45,921
a large turnover because
of all the spirits
60
00:03:45,964 --> 00:03:47,401
that haunt the Roosevelt Hotel.
61
00:03:47,444 --> 00:03:49,098

of the more popular ones.

questions about it.

76
00:04:26,962 --> 00:04:28,920
are held back at a
respectful distance

from the private funeral
that Joe DiMaggio
78
00:04:31,532 --> 00:04:33,621
arranged for Marilyn Monroe.

After services in the chapel
of Westwood Memorial Cemetery,
80
00:04:37,189 --> 00:04:40,192
in which eulogies and passages
from the Scripture were read,
81
00:04:40,236 --> 00:04:42,804
the casket is placed in the
hearse to be taken to a crypt--
82
00:04:42,847 --> 00:04:44,762
I remember it very vividly.
83
00:04:44,806 --> 00:04:48,288
I remember seeing that
blazing headline on "The Los
84
00:04:48,331 --> 00:04:50,638
Angeles Times" in August.
85
00:04:50,681 --> 00:04:54,381
Marilyn Monroe dies and
I was at a dude ranch.
86
00:04:54,424 --> 00:04:56,426
And Dean Martin and
his family happened
87
00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:58,080
to be there vacationing.
88
00:04:58,123 --> 00:05:01,649
Dean Martin was making a film
with Marilyn at the time,
89
00:05:01,692 --> 00:05:03,346
"Something's Gotta
Give," which had
90
00:05:03,390 --> 00:05:06,958
been shut down by 20th
Century Fox at that point.
91
00:05:07,002 --> 00:05:10,440
But he was so devastated, I do
remember this even as a kid,
92
00:05:10,484 --> 00:05:12,050
that he immediately left.
93
00:05:12,094 --> 00:05:16,751
And everybody at this
ranch was talking about it.
94
00:05:16,794 --> 00:05:19,667
I remember, there was a
news flash in Australia.
95
00:05:19,710 --> 00:05:26,064
Marilyn Monroe, Hollywood star,
found dead apparent suicide.
96
00:05:26,108 --> 00:05:27,936
Newsflash on the
radio in Australia.
97
00:05:27,979 --> 00:05:31,374
And I was like--
who's Marilyn Monroe.
98
00:05:31,418 --> 00:05:33,724
I mean, I was 12
years old, you know.
99
00:05:33,768 --> 00:05:35,509
I think it was a big deal.
100
00:05:35,552 --> 00:05:37,249
I think it's still a big deal.
101
00:05:37,293 --> 00:05:40,818
One of the problems is
when the death happened.
102
00:05:40,862 --> 00:05:46,171
It's 1962, and things were
very different during that era
103
00:05:46,215 --> 00:05:47,477
than they are now.
104
00:05:47,521 --> 00:05:49,653
Keep in mind, this
is pre-Watergate
105
00:05:49,697 --> 00:05:52,264
and the press
coverage at the time
106
00:05:52,308 --> 00:05:54,963
was very much non-intrusive.
107
00:05:55,006 --> 00:05:57,182
So anything that was
a little bit dicey,
108
00:05:57,226 --> 00:05:59,228
you didn't really dig into it.
109
00:05:59,271 --> 00:06:01,491
People are obsessed
with Marilyn Monroe.
110
00:06:01,535 --> 00:06:03,580
She was larger than life.
111
00:06:03,624 --> 00:06:07,802
Classic, unfortunate,
tragic fairy tale of someone
112
00:06:07,845 --> 00:06:10,282
reaching their peak in success
and then tragically being
113
00:06:10,326 --> 00:06:12,023
taken away at such a young age.
114
00:06:12,067 --> 00:06:15,244
The way she was thrust into the
limelight and her association
115
00:06:15,287 --> 00:06:17,942
with the Kennedys and
with Joe DiMaggio,
116
00:06:17,986 --> 00:06:20,858
she was the first big,
beautiful bombshell
117
00:06:20,902 --> 00:06:22,512
that everyone just fawned over.
118
00:06:22,556 --> 00:06:29,389
Madonna, Blondie, Lady Gaga,
every major female pop icon,
119
00:06:29,432 --> 00:06:31,695
they all go through
their Marilyn phase,
120
00:06:31,739 --> 00:06:34,829
because Marilyn has
stimulated their imaginations
121
00:06:34,872 --> 00:06:36,439
and their image.
122
00:06:36,483 --> 00:06:38,963
And it's quite extraordinary
the way they all copy Marilyn.
123
00:06:39,007 --> 00:06:43,315
She created something that
touches something very deep.
124
00:06:43,359 --> 00:06:44,752
My name is Greg Schreiner.
125
00:06:44,795 --> 00:06:47,450
I'm the president of Marilyn
Remembered and the club
126
00:06:47,494 --> 00:06:50,801
itself was found in 1983.
127
00:06:50,845 --> 00:06:53,151
I fell in love with
Marilyn at an early age
128
00:06:53,195 --> 00:06:58,505
because my parents had taken
me to see "Some Like it Hot"
129
00:06:58,548 --> 00:07:00,071
actually.
130
00:07:00,115 --> 00:07:04,336
And for some reason, her image
reached out of that screen
131
00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:07,688
and grabbed my
heart and took it.
132
00:07:07,731 --> 00:07:10,865
And from that moment on I
started collecting everything
133
00:07:10,908 --> 00:07:14,999
I could on her, every poster,
every book, of which there were
134
00:07:15,043 --> 00:07:17,393
not many back at that time.
135
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:20,440
It's interesting
right after her death,
136
00:07:20,483 --> 00:07:21,702
things went dark for a while.
137
00:07:21,745 --> 00:07:23,965
There was no books,
no anything published
138
00:07:24,008 --> 00:07:25,619
really for quite a while.
139
00:07:25,662 --> 00:07:28,230
But everything I could
find I researched her
140
00:07:28,273 --> 00:07:32,800
and the more I looked into
her life, the more I guess
141
00:07:32,843 --> 00:07:34,497
fell in love with
her, which seems
142
00:07:34,541 --> 00:07:35,933
to happen to a lot of people.
143
00:07:35,977 --> 00:07:38,719
The fact that this happened
to her was unthinkable.
144
00:07:38,762 --> 00:07:41,983
I mean, when you get that kind
of blazing headline in "The LA
145
00:07:42,026 --> 00:07:46,944
Times" even to today, that
means some big seismic world
146
00:07:46,988 --> 00:07:48,598
event has happened.
147
00:07:48,642 --> 00:07:50,600
She would have made
many more great movies.
148
00:07:50,644 --> 00:07:52,820
She never made a bad
movie in my opinion.
149
00:07:52,863 --> 00:07:55,083
There's a great scene
with her and Groucho
150
00:07:55,126 --> 00:07:57,868
Marx in a very early film.
151
00:08:00,392 --> 00:08:01,785
Is there anything
I can do for you?
152
00:08:01,829 --> 00:08:03,787
What a ridiculous statement.
153
00:08:03,831 --> 00:08:06,268
Mr. Graham, I want
you to help me.
154
00:08:06,311 --> 00:08:09,924
I've a little sand left,
what seems to be the trouble?
155
00:08:09,967 --> 00:08:11,578
The men are following me.
156
00:08:11,621 --> 00:08:13,014
Really?
157
00:08:13,057 --> 00:08:15,059
I can't understand why.
158
00:08:15,103 --> 00:08:17,322
I think "All About Eve"
showed if we're going
159
00:08:17,366 --> 00:08:20,587
to see what Marilyn Monroe
could become as a comedienne--
160
00:08:20,630 --> 00:08:22,545
Oh, waiter.
161
00:08:22,589 --> 00:08:24,895
That isn't a waiter, my
dear, that's a butler.
162
00:08:24,939 --> 00:08:27,550
Well, I can't yell,
oh, butler, can I?
163
00:08:27,594 --> 00:08:29,378
Maybe somebody's name is Butler.
164
00:08:29,421 --> 00:08:31,859
Her scenes there with George
Sanders are just priceless.
165
00:08:31,902 --> 00:08:35,340
It's a small, tiny role, but
it was in an iconic movie.
166
00:08:35,384 --> 00:08:38,082
That movie won the
Best Picture of 1950.
167
00:08:38,126 --> 00:08:41,390
And you can sort of tell looking
at that now in retrospect
168
00:08:41,433 --> 00:08:45,612
that there is the beginnings of
a very fine comedy performer.
169
00:08:45,655 --> 00:08:48,789
Addison, I've been wanting you
meet Eve for the longest time.
170
00:08:48,832 --> 00:08:50,617
It could only have been
your natural timidity that
171
00:08:50,660 --> 00:08:52,009
kept you from mentioning it.
172
00:08:52,053 --> 00:08:53,968
You've heard of her great
interest in the theater.
173
00:08:54,011 --> 00:08:55,447
We have that in common.
174
00:08:55,491 --> 00:08:57,449
Then you two must
have a long talk.
175
00:08:57,493 --> 00:09:00,583
I'm afraid Mr. Dewitt would
find me boring before too long.
176
00:09:00,627 --> 00:09:01,889
You won't bore him, honey.
177
00:09:01,932 --> 00:09:04,282
You won't even get
a chance to talk.
178
00:09:04,326 --> 00:09:07,634
Claudia, come here.
179
00:09:07,677 --> 00:09:09,592
You see that man?
180
00:09:09,636 --> 00:09:11,289
That's Max Fabian, the producer.
181
00:09:11,333 --> 00:09:13,465
Now go and do
yourself some good.
182
00:09:13,509 --> 00:09:16,425
Why do they always look
like unhappy rabbits?
183
00:09:16,468 --> 00:09:17,600
Because that's what they are.
184
00:09:17,644 --> 00:09:19,515
Now, go and make him happy.
185
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,562
The dumb blonde image, I'm
not sure where that came from.
186
00:09:22,605 --> 00:09:26,087
But maybe this movie that
she did with Cary Grant,
187
00:09:26,130 --> 00:09:27,567
when she played a secretary.
188
00:09:27,610 --> 00:09:28,655
Good morning, Dr. Fulton.
189
00:09:28,698 --> 00:09:30,613
Good morning.
190
00:09:30,657 --> 00:09:32,484
Aren't you here early?
191
00:09:32,528 --> 00:09:33,964
Oh, yes.
192
00:09:34,008 --> 00:09:35,923
Mr. Oxley has been complaining
about my punctuation,
193
00:09:35,966 --> 00:09:37,620
so I'm careful to
get here before nine.
194
00:09:37,664 --> 00:09:40,144
It's fun to see her with
Cary Grant to be sure.
195
00:09:40,188 --> 00:09:41,798
These two major, major stars.
196
00:09:41,842 --> 00:09:45,628
Marilyn Monroe had a very
smart intelligence behind her,
197
00:09:45,672 --> 00:09:48,239
an innate sense of
what she was doing,
198
00:09:48,283 --> 00:09:52,374
even in a movie where she is
really, really plain stupid.
199
00:09:52,417 --> 00:09:54,028
All right, now say terrified.
200
00:09:54,071 --> 00:09:54,942
Terrified.
201
00:09:54,985 --> 00:09:56,465
Now say tissue.
Tissue.
202
00:09:56,508 --> 00:09:57,553
Now say them both
fast together.
203
00:09:57,597 --> 00:09:58,423
Terrified tissue.
204
00:10:01,339 --> 00:10:02,079
[SMACK]
205
00:10:02,123 --> 00:10:04,255
How dare you?
206
00:10:04,299 --> 00:10:05,735
My name is Brian Chanes.
207
00:10:05,779 --> 00:10:08,390
I'm with the Auction
House Profiles in History.
208
00:10:08,433 --> 00:10:10,131
And you know we're
the largest auction
209
00:10:10,174 --> 00:10:13,264
houses devoted to entertainment
and Hollywood memorabilia.
210
00:10:13,308 --> 00:10:15,571
Marilyn Monroe is
a one of a kind.
211
00:10:15,615 --> 00:10:17,486
There's never going
to be another.
212
00:10:17,529 --> 00:10:20,358
Her material, and
people clamor to it
213
00:10:20,402 --> 00:10:22,970
and it's really
unsustainable as far
214
00:10:23,013 --> 00:10:25,407
as there's no other
person in Hollywood
215
00:10:25,450 --> 00:10:27,278
history that compares, period.
216
00:10:29,150 --> 00:10:31,413
Oh, do you feel the
breeze from the subway?
217
00:10:31,456 --> 00:10:33,197
Isn't it delicious?
218
00:10:33,241 --> 00:10:37,332
"The Seven Year Itch probably
contains the most famous scene
219
00:10:37,375 --> 00:10:40,335
of her career, which
was where the dress
220
00:10:40,378 --> 00:10:44,382
gets blown up on the
streets there in New York.
221
00:10:44,426 --> 00:10:45,949
Ooh, here comes another one.
222
00:10:49,736 --> 00:10:54,175
When the movie opened they
had this gigantic blow up of it
223
00:10:54,218 --> 00:10:55,829
above the theater.
224
00:10:55,872 --> 00:10:58,832
That was in the days when they
really knew how to sell movies.
225
00:10:58,875 --> 00:11:01,878
Basically we sold that
dress for $5.52 million,
226
00:11:01,922 --> 00:11:04,011
which shatters the world record.
227
00:11:04,054 --> 00:11:04,794
Say that again.
228
00:11:04,838 --> 00:11:07,492
$5.52 million.
229
00:11:07,536 --> 00:11:09,756
You know, it shatters
any previous Hollywood
230
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:11,932
costume record by any measure.
231
00:11:11,975 --> 00:11:13,585
And of course, it's Marilyn.
232
00:11:13,629 --> 00:11:17,024
So it's going to be a long
time I think before that
233
00:11:17,067 --> 00:11:18,678
one this is topped again.
234
00:11:18,721 --> 00:11:20,462
1926 is when she was born.
235
00:11:20,505 --> 00:11:22,725
She would be in her
80s now, probably
236
00:11:22,769 --> 00:11:24,858
late 80s if she had lived.
237
00:11:24,901 --> 00:11:26,990
Can you imagine a
Marilyn still with us
238
00:11:27,034 --> 00:11:28,296
as a senior of Hollywood?
239
00:11:28,339 --> 00:11:31,386
A senior of Hollywood,
well, unfortunately, I
240
00:11:31,429 --> 00:11:34,868
don't think it would be
as kind to her memories.
241
00:11:34,911 --> 00:11:38,349
Because people love to
freeze frame someone
242
00:11:38,393 --> 00:11:42,049
at the zenith of their beauty.
243
00:11:42,092 --> 00:11:46,618
[SINGING] Having a heat wave.
244
00:11:46,662 --> 00:11:52,015
A tropical heat wave.
245
00:11:52,059 --> 00:11:54,235
And that's the first
image, oddly enough,
246
00:11:54,278 --> 00:11:57,673
I remember seeing of
Marilyn Monroe myself.
247
00:11:57,717 --> 00:12:00,937
They used to have this
thing on NBC called "NBC's
248
00:12:00,981 --> 00:12:02,809
Saturday Night at the Movies."
249
00:12:02,852 --> 00:12:05,028
And when I was a kid,
I would watch that
250
00:12:05,072 --> 00:12:07,901
and they ran a lot of
Marilyn's movies on that.
251
00:12:07,944 --> 00:12:11,078
They would buy them up for
national television exposure.
252
00:12:11,121 --> 00:12:14,298
And that's how I saw "There's
No Business Like Show Business."
253
00:12:14,342 --> 00:12:16,474
And I certainly don't
remember anything
254
00:12:16,518 --> 00:12:19,739
about that movie except
that number, "Heat Wave,"
255
00:12:19,782 --> 00:12:21,653
which was super hot stuff.
256
00:12:21,697 --> 00:12:24,308
I mean, you know, we're
having a heat wave.
257
00:12:24,352 --> 00:12:27,355
[SINGING] Temperature's rising.
258
00:12:27,398 --> 00:12:29,574
It isn't surprising.
259
00:12:29,618 --> 00:12:35,798
You certainly can, can.
260
00:12:35,842 --> 00:12:39,976
What this is, is a Jean Louis
costume design of Marilyn.
261
00:12:40,020 --> 00:12:41,891
I don't know if you've
seen "The Misfits."
262
00:12:41,935 --> 00:12:44,285
Arthur Miller wrote
the screenplay.
263
00:12:44,328 --> 00:12:46,548
Jean Louis was a
costume designer.
264
00:12:46,591 --> 00:12:51,292
This is the famous cherry dress
that she wore in the film,
265
00:12:51,335 --> 00:12:55,035
and it sold for over
$22,000 this last weekend.
266
00:12:55,078 --> 00:12:59,126
Here's a picture of me
at my first movie premiere
267
00:12:59,169 --> 00:13:00,605
when I was 15 and 1/2.
268
00:13:00,649 --> 00:13:02,825
This is the only dress
that I found that I liked.
269
00:13:02,869 --> 00:13:04,609
And it just so happened
to look like "Diamond's
270
00:13:04,653 --> 00:13:06,220
are a Girl's Best Friend."
271
00:13:06,263 --> 00:13:09,658
I had no idea that you could be
a professional Marilyn Monroe
272
00:13:09,701 --> 00:13:12,748
impersonator until I
was at that premiere,
273
00:13:12,792 --> 00:13:16,578
and Bernie Wayne who wrote
the Miss America song,
274
00:13:16,621 --> 00:13:18,406
wanted to take me to Vegas
and make me an impersonator.
275
00:13:18,449 --> 00:13:20,451
And I was like what?
276
00:13:20,495 --> 00:13:23,846
Isn't this great though?
277
00:13:23,890 --> 00:13:26,544
And it just arrived.
278
00:13:26,588 --> 00:13:28,633
Happy Birthday to me.
279
00:13:28,677 --> 00:13:32,855
[SINGING] A kiss on the hand
may be quite continental,
280
00:13:32,899 --> 00:13:38,643
but diamonds are a
girl's best friend.
281
00:13:38,687 --> 00:13:42,430
Marilyn Monroe was
born June 1, 1926.
282
00:13:42,473 --> 00:13:45,737
She was an illegitimate baby,
and her mother, Gladys Baker,
283
00:13:45,781 --> 00:13:48,349
was uncertain of
who the father was.
284
00:13:48,392 --> 00:13:50,264
On her birth
certificate, Marilyn
285
00:13:50,307 --> 00:13:52,440
was Norma Jeane
Mortenson, but she
286
00:13:52,483 --> 00:13:55,095
grew up as Norma Jeane Baker.
287
00:13:55,138 --> 00:13:57,924
Ida and Albert Bolander
were her foster parents
288
00:13:57,967 --> 00:14:00,404
for the first eight
years in a tiny house
289
00:14:00,448 --> 00:14:02,276
in Hawthorne, California.
290
00:14:02,319 --> 00:14:04,974
The thing she didn't have
was a permanent home.
291
00:14:05,018 --> 00:14:07,977
And she didn't have a permanent
family because her mother was
292
00:14:08,021 --> 00:14:10,762
her only family and her
mother unfortunately
293
00:14:10,806 --> 00:14:13,374
was committed to an
institution for most
294
00:14:13,417 --> 00:14:15,115
of Marilyn's early life.
295
00:14:15,158 --> 00:14:17,857
So she really never
had a real mother,
296
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:22,557
but she certainly had some,
I think fairly wonderful
297
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,081
foster mothers that
really did care,
298
00:14:25,125 --> 00:14:27,127
they weren't horror stories.
299
00:14:27,170 --> 00:14:28,389
So she had a good upbringing.
300
00:14:28,432 --> 00:14:32,045
But I suspect even that
isn't quite the same
301
00:14:32,088 --> 00:14:33,655
as having your own real family.
302
00:14:33,698 --> 00:14:35,309
She wanted to
work really, really
303
00:14:35,352 --> 00:14:38,747
hard doing something that she
had a chance of succeeding in.
304
00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:42,098
And growing up in Hollywood,
she was right here
305
00:14:42,142 --> 00:14:43,708
in the middle of all of that.
306
00:14:43,752 --> 00:14:47,321
And I think that's really what
kept her going when she was
307
00:14:47,364 --> 00:14:50,106
at Hollygrove at the orphanage
was being able to look
308
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:54,458
at the RKO water tower and
the gates of the studios
309
00:14:54,502 --> 00:14:57,418
right there, and to
have that dream to hold
310
00:14:57,461 --> 00:15:00,464
on to when she was
feeling so ugly
311
00:15:00,508 --> 00:15:02,553
and her clothes were scratchy.
312
00:15:02,597 --> 00:15:05,513
And she had to wash dishes
for hours every night.
313
00:15:05,556 --> 00:15:07,297
She felt like little
Cinderella, you know.
314
00:15:07,341 --> 00:15:10,126
MARILYN MONROE: I used to
sit up in the window and cry,
315
00:15:10,170 --> 00:15:12,563
because I'd look
over and I'd see RKO
316
00:15:12,607 --> 00:15:14,739
and I knew my mother
had worked there.
317
00:15:14,783 --> 00:15:16,306
She'd been a cutter there.
318
00:15:16,350 --> 00:15:18,134
What we've read
about her in the books
319
00:15:18,178 --> 00:15:19,396
is sort of the way she was.
320
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,660
She was a fairly
naive young girl
321
00:15:22,704 --> 00:15:27,796
who had great hopes and
aspirations for her life,
322
00:15:27,839 --> 00:15:30,407
but didn't see any
way to achieve that.
323
00:15:30,451 --> 00:15:32,105
And of course we know
then from the story later
324
00:15:32,148 --> 00:15:36,196
that she's discovered
working at an airplane plant
325
00:15:36,239 --> 00:15:37,937
and gets on the
cover of a magazine,
326
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:39,242
and the rest is history.
327
00:15:39,286 --> 00:15:42,637
After that people just
started noticing her.
328
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,381
I first met Marilyn,
she was living on Doheny.
329
00:15:47,424 --> 00:15:51,211
She was a wonderful
influence in my life.
330
00:15:51,254 --> 00:15:52,864
Everything was
perfect about her.
331
00:15:52,908 --> 00:15:55,563
She was just an absolutely
beautiful human being.
332
00:15:55,606 --> 00:15:59,349
Everything I'm saying
is really from what
333
00:15:59,393 --> 00:16:02,526
I know personally from her.
334
00:16:02,570 --> 00:16:08,532
I mean, look what kicked
off our relationship closely
335
00:16:08,576 --> 00:16:13,146
was after we were set to do
that movie, "A Loss of Roses,"
336
00:16:13,189 --> 00:16:14,974
which is a play I did.
337
00:16:15,017 --> 00:16:17,628
People told her, like
Strasberg and people like that,
338
00:16:17,672 --> 00:16:21,806
oh, yeah, what she should read.
339
00:16:21,850 --> 00:16:23,634
But she didn't want to be told.
340
00:16:23,678 --> 00:16:26,028
She didn't want to be
told anything, really.
341
00:16:26,072 --> 00:16:30,250
She had a wall
against being advised.
342
00:16:30,293 --> 00:16:32,034
Marilyn was an
extraordinary person.
343
00:16:32,078 --> 00:16:37,474
She was so different from the
Hollywood construct, you know,
344
00:16:37,518 --> 00:16:39,259
that it's almost
not recognizable.
345
00:16:39,302 --> 00:16:41,783
She was intelligent.
346
00:16:41,826 --> 00:16:43,306
She was well-read.
347
00:16:43,350 --> 00:16:45,787
She loved the music
of Bela Bartok.
348
00:16:45,830 --> 00:16:48,224
I mean that she
read Thomas Hardy.
349
00:16:48,268 --> 00:16:49,617
She read James Joyce.
350
00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:50,966
She read Shakespeare.
351
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:54,317
She was friends with
the poet Carl Sandburg.
352
00:16:54,361 --> 00:16:55,927
In fact, he gave her
a set of wind chimes
353
00:16:55,971 --> 00:16:58,539
that were hanging on a
tree just outside her door,
354
00:16:58,582 --> 00:17:00,106
you know the night she died.
355
00:17:00,149 --> 00:17:03,805
One of the individuals who
let's say it gets short shrift
356
00:17:03,848 --> 00:17:06,677
is Jim Dougherty.
357
00:17:06,721 --> 00:17:09,506
James Dougherty, a gun
instructor with the Los Angeles
358
00:17:09,550 --> 00:17:13,554
Police, was 21 when he
married 16-year-old schoolgirl
359
00:17:13,597 --> 00:17:15,077
who lived down the street.
360
00:17:15,121 --> 00:17:18,907
Now granted, it was more of
a marriage of convenience,
361
00:17:18,950 --> 00:17:21,127
him doing her a favor.
362
00:17:21,170 --> 00:17:25,653
Doc and Grace were moving to
Huntington, West Virginia where
363
00:17:25,696 --> 00:17:31,267
Doc was being transferred, and
Norma Jeane was going to have
364
00:17:31,311 --> 00:17:33,487
to go back to an orphanage.
365
00:17:33,530 --> 00:17:37,273
Grace told this to my mother.
366
00:17:37,317 --> 00:17:39,058
And she was a little
big for an orphanage.
367
00:17:39,101 --> 00:17:40,972
So my mother and
Grace decided it
368
00:17:41,016 --> 00:17:43,497
might be a good idea if Norma
Jeane and I got married.
369
00:17:43,540 --> 00:17:44,280
She was cute.
370
00:17:44,324 --> 00:17:45,281
She was sweet.
371
00:17:45,325 --> 00:17:46,413
War is coming.
372
00:17:46,456 --> 00:17:47,979
Who knows what's
going to be happening.
373
00:17:48,023 --> 00:17:50,765
A lot of people were marrying
very quickly at the time.
374
00:17:50,808 --> 00:17:54,247
So Marilyn marries basically
her next door neighbor.
375
00:17:54,290 --> 00:17:55,900
Didn't quite work out.
376
00:17:55,944 --> 00:17:59,426
Romance that thrills the world,
the marriage of Marilyn Monroe
377
00:17:59,469 --> 00:18:01,950
and Joe DiMaggio
attracts a record crowd
378
00:18:01,993 --> 00:18:06,128
to the San Francisco court
where the ceremony is performed.
379
00:18:06,172 --> 00:18:08,130
While DiMaggio
stayed alone in Tokyo,
380
00:18:08,174 --> 00:18:11,438
Marilyn went on to entertain
the troops in Korea.
381
00:18:11,481 --> 00:18:13,918
Waves of frenzied
approval greeted her.
382
00:18:13,962 --> 00:18:15,877
It was, she said,
like an embrace.
383
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,402
[CHEERING]
384
00:18:19,446 --> 00:18:22,449
She married, of course, Joe
DiMaggio, the very famous
385
00:18:22,492 --> 00:18:25,365
baseball player, and then
a very famous playwright,
386
00:18:25,408 --> 00:18:26,888
Arthur Miller.
387
00:18:26,931 --> 00:18:28,890
Miss Monroe, could you tell
us what kind of a wedding
388
00:18:28,933 --> 00:18:30,805
you're going to have?
389
00:18:30,848 --> 00:18:32,981
Very quiet.
390
00:18:33,024 --> 00:18:34,504
Do you feel
certain at this time
391
00:18:34,548 --> 00:18:37,986
that you will be able to
get away to go to England?
392
00:18:38,029 --> 00:18:40,206
I feel certain I'm going
to try awfully hard.
393
00:18:40,249 --> 00:18:42,599
In the event that you
are not able to go,
394
00:18:42,643 --> 00:18:43,600
will Miss Monroe still go?
395
00:18:43,644 --> 00:18:44,384
Oh, sure.
396
00:18:44,427 --> 00:18:45,254
She's got to go.
397
00:18:45,298 --> 00:18:47,169
She's got a contract to go.
398
00:18:47,213 --> 00:18:49,693
That means you may not have
a honeymoon together then.
399
00:18:49,737 --> 00:18:52,348
I think we will.
400
00:18:52,392 --> 00:18:53,871
I hope so.
401
00:18:53,915 --> 00:18:57,701
And then even, is rumored
to have had quite the affair
402
00:18:57,745 --> 00:18:59,486
with the President
of the United States,
403
00:18:59,529 --> 00:19:02,489
John F. Kennedy and even
his brother, Robert Kennedy,
404
00:19:02,532 --> 00:19:03,359
who was Attorney General.
405
00:19:18,331 --> 00:19:20,681
'73, when Mailer's
book came out,
406
00:19:20,724 --> 00:19:22,944
I believe that was
possibly the first
407
00:19:22,987 --> 00:19:26,295
in print connection between
Marilyn and the Kennedy family.
408
00:19:26,339 --> 00:19:29,037
And so all of a sudden
for me at the time,
409
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,300
it was like oh my god, these
two people that I really like,
410
00:19:31,344 --> 00:19:34,347
they actually knew each
other. '75, Earl Wilson
411
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:37,524
came out with an article saying
that, yeah, the rumors are
412
00:19:37,567 --> 00:19:40,091
true, that Marilyn
had been romantically
413
00:19:40,135 --> 00:19:42,093
involved with the president.
414
00:19:42,137 --> 00:19:44,008
From that point on,
every single book
415
00:19:44,052 --> 00:19:46,228
that has come out,
either on the Kennedy
416
00:19:46,272 --> 00:19:49,927
family or Marilyn Monroe,
they're forever interlinked,
417
00:19:49,971 --> 00:19:51,320
I'll tell you it's
a real challenge,
418
00:19:51,364 --> 00:19:53,104
painting the most beautiful
woman in the world
419
00:19:53,148 --> 00:19:56,804
and trying to improve
on the photograph.
420
00:19:56,847 --> 00:20:00,068
I can't imagine anyone
with a more perfect face.
421
00:20:00,111 --> 00:20:02,375
I just think that
she was so beautiful,
422
00:20:02,418 --> 00:20:04,246
and she projected
this vulnerability
423
00:20:04,290 --> 00:20:05,726
and this softness.
424
00:20:05,769 --> 00:20:08,076
And I just think that everybody
wanted a piece of her.
425
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,339
Everybody wanted something,
to touch her, to kiss her,
426
00:20:10,383 --> 00:20:12,863
to hold her, to possess
her, or producers
427
00:20:12,907 --> 00:20:15,344
want her in the movies
to make money off of her.
428
00:20:15,388 --> 00:20:17,651
And I think she was
a very giving person,
429
00:20:17,694 --> 00:20:19,740
but at a certain point,
I think she felt that she
430
00:20:19,783 --> 00:20:21,394
was being passed around.
431
00:20:21,437 --> 00:20:24,353
And I think that Jack Kennedy
to Bobby Kennedy if she really
432
00:20:24,397 --> 00:20:27,095
loved Jack, the next thing
you know, he fixes her up
433
00:20:27,138 --> 00:20:29,619
with his brother, something
like that could have been very
434
00:20:29,663 --> 00:20:32,753
traumatic, where she couldn't
go public with the affair
435
00:20:32,796 --> 00:20:35,277
because they're both married men
and Catholics and one of them
436
00:20:35,321 --> 00:20:37,018
is the President of
the United States.
437
00:20:37,061 --> 00:20:39,499
I used to work for
Senator George Smathers
438
00:20:39,542 --> 00:20:42,415
of Florida, who
called himself, John
439
00:20:42,458 --> 00:20:43,677
F. Kennedy as his best friend.
440
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,113
And I think he was.
441
00:20:45,156 --> 00:20:47,681
And he talked about
it all the time.
442
00:20:47,724 --> 00:20:51,250
So I was very early
hearing about this affair.
443
00:20:51,293 --> 00:20:56,298
People got very involved
with her, especially people
444
00:20:56,342 --> 00:20:59,693
in some sense of
authority, that she
445
00:20:59,736 --> 00:21:03,610
felt were trustworthy people,
and they would turn out
446
00:21:03,653 --> 00:21:07,091
not to be trustworthy at all.
447
00:21:07,135 --> 00:21:09,180
Her natural hair color was--
448
00:21:09,224 --> 00:21:12,009
Brown, brown color.
449
00:21:12,053 --> 00:21:16,187
My name is Jimmy Morrisey
and I met Marilyn Monroe
450
00:21:16,231 --> 00:21:19,321
through Gloria Lovell,
Frank Sinatra's secretary,
451
00:21:19,365 --> 00:21:24,108
when she came out after
divorcing Arthur Miller.
452
00:21:24,152 --> 00:21:27,198
She had done modelling
as a reddish brown.
453
00:21:27,242 --> 00:21:30,245
But she gradually lightened it.
454
00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:32,813
And it the more
she lightened it,
455
00:21:32,856 --> 00:21:35,468
it seemed the more parts
that she would get.
456
00:21:35,511 --> 00:21:39,167
So she finally became
a platinum blonde.
457
00:21:39,210 --> 00:21:41,996
And I did Marilyn's
hair two times
458
00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:45,173
when she's going with the
president and two times
459
00:21:45,216 --> 00:21:47,393
when she was going with
the president's brother.
460
00:21:47,436 --> 00:21:50,570
And when she was on the
phone with the president,
461
00:21:50,613 --> 00:21:52,920
she would always
call him that man.
462
00:21:52,963 --> 00:21:58,186
And so when she finished
talking and I finished her hair,
463
00:21:58,229 --> 00:22:01,842
Gloria later said to me,
you know who that man is,
464
00:22:01,885 --> 00:22:03,191
don't you?
465
00:22:03,234 --> 00:22:04,410
And I said, well I figure
it's the president.
466
00:22:04,453 --> 00:22:06,063
And she said, yes.
467
00:22:06,107 --> 00:22:08,979
Her most famous film
appearance could well
468
00:22:09,023 --> 00:22:13,244
be when she sang Happy
Birthday to John F. Kennedy,
469
00:22:13,288 --> 00:22:17,205
and that piece of
film is truly iconic.
470
00:22:17,248 --> 00:22:19,294
Happy Birthday, Mr. President.
471
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:23,646
Mr. President, the
late Marilyn Monroe.
472
00:22:23,690 --> 00:22:25,474
[APPLAUSE]
473
00:22:32,176 --> 00:22:36,006
[SINGING] Happy Birthday--
474
00:22:36,050 --> 00:22:38,226
To look at her that night,
you would think there
475
00:22:38,269 --> 00:22:39,967
was absolutely nothing wrong.
476
00:22:40,010 --> 00:22:44,058
You look at this woman who seems
at the height of her powers
477
00:22:44,101 --> 00:22:46,974
during that, and now that we
know in retrospect that there
478
00:22:47,017 --> 00:22:49,803
was much more to
this relationship
479
00:22:49,846 --> 00:22:52,240
with the president,
it's quite interesting.
480
00:22:52,283 --> 00:22:55,548
Everybody, Happy Birthday.
481
00:22:55,591 --> 00:22:56,853
They had to keep
announcing her.
482
00:22:56,897 --> 00:22:58,159
Here's Marilyn Monroe.
483
00:22:58,202 --> 00:22:59,769
Here's Marilyn Monroe.
484
00:22:59,813 --> 00:23:02,337
And they finally announced,
here's the late Marilyn Monroe.
485
00:23:02,381 --> 00:23:05,471
Six months later, she was
the late Marilyn Monroe,
486
00:23:05,514 --> 00:23:08,517
because her death
happened in August.
487
00:23:08,561 --> 00:23:11,302
It is my conclusion that
the death of Marilyn Monroe
488
00:23:11,346 --> 00:23:14,088
was caused by a
self-administered overdose
489
00:23:14,131 --> 00:23:16,873
of sedative drugs and
that the mode of death
490
00:23:16,917 --> 00:23:19,441
is probable suicide.
491
00:23:19,485 --> 00:23:22,401
Sometimes cliches are accurate.
492
00:23:22,444 --> 00:23:25,491
And one cliche is this
account of her death
493
00:23:25,534 --> 00:23:28,015
has more holes in it than
a piece of Swiss cheese.
494
00:23:28,058 --> 00:23:32,802
The focus at that time was
on the tragedy, on the loss.
495
00:23:32,846 --> 00:23:36,066
And everything that had
been put out officially
496
00:23:36,110 --> 00:23:38,068
was accepted straightforward.
497
00:23:38,112 --> 00:23:40,244
But we had no suicide note.
498
00:23:40,288 --> 00:23:44,248
In fact, an hour before
her death according
499
00:23:44,292 --> 00:23:46,163
to Eunice Murray, her
housekeeper companion,
500
00:23:46,207 --> 00:23:49,123
she was in a terrific mood.
501
00:23:49,166 --> 00:23:52,735
Fortunately, we have firsthand
accounts from eye witnesses.
502
00:23:52,779 --> 00:23:55,782
There is no statute of
limitations for murder.
503
00:23:55,825 --> 00:23:58,915
The coroner put down
probable suicide.
504
00:23:58,959 --> 00:24:03,616
I have signed off on death
certificates, 16,000 autopsies
505
00:24:03,659 --> 00:24:04,747
that I've done myself.
506
00:24:04,791 --> 00:24:07,446
I have never seen
probable suicide.
507
00:24:07,489 --> 00:24:11,928
That word probable tells
me more than 1,000 words
508
00:24:11,972 --> 00:24:14,583
could possibly explain
about the great doubt
509
00:24:14,627 --> 00:24:16,324
that existed in their minds.
510
00:24:16,367 --> 00:24:17,717
There was a biochemical
problem here.
511
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,198
She could not have raised
her blood toxicity level
512
00:24:21,242 --> 00:24:25,028
to the point that we saw in the
time in the toxicology report
513
00:24:25,072 --> 00:24:27,509
by gobbling pills
because you just can't
514
00:24:27,553 --> 00:24:29,816
get there without dying first.
515
00:24:29,859 --> 00:24:32,122
The people who
make Nembutal said
516
00:24:32,166 --> 00:24:35,343
you can't eat enough of these
pills to do that to your blood.
517
00:24:35,386 --> 00:24:37,519
You'll be lying on the
floor with your eyes
518
00:24:37,563 --> 00:24:39,173
glazed over first.
519
00:24:39,216 --> 00:24:42,263
You're about a third of the way
there, you'll already be dead.
520
00:24:42,306 --> 00:24:44,526
Piecing together the
facts of her death
521
00:24:44,570 --> 00:24:46,354
is a very difficult task.
522
00:24:46,397 --> 00:24:49,226
It requires all of the testimony
from witnesses who appeared
523
00:24:49,270 --> 00:24:51,794
in dozens of different news
shows and documentaries
524
00:24:51,838 --> 00:24:53,492
for over 30 years.
525
00:24:53,535 --> 00:24:56,233
Witnesses range from
cops to wire tappers,
526
00:24:56,277 --> 00:24:58,279
from Marilyn
Monroe's housekeeper,
527
00:24:58,322 --> 00:25:01,369
to the coroner and
deputy district attorney,
528
00:25:01,412 --> 00:25:04,415
from police chiefs to a
nephew of one of the biggest
529
00:25:04,459 --> 00:25:06,113
mob bosses of all time.
530
00:25:06,156 --> 00:25:10,334
Some who lied at first changed
their stories over the years.
531
00:25:10,378 --> 00:25:12,206
Basically the
normal thing would
532
00:25:12,249 --> 00:25:16,471
have been for Theodore
Curphey as coroner, to call
533
00:25:16,515 --> 00:25:18,734
for a grand jury investigation.
534
00:25:18,778 --> 00:25:19,561
But he didn't.
535
00:25:48,372 --> 00:25:50,287
We had Jack Clemmons
speak, who was
536
00:25:50,331 --> 00:25:53,595
the first officer on the
scene the night of her death.
537
00:25:53,639 --> 00:25:55,728
And he was the one
that arrived at,
538
00:25:55,771 --> 00:25:58,600
I believe 3:00 something
in the morning,
539
00:25:58,644 --> 00:26:02,343
and found her body
laying on the bed.
540
00:26:02,386 --> 00:26:04,301
My name is Jack Clemmons.
541
00:26:04,345 --> 00:26:05,825
On the night
Marilyn Monroe died,
542
00:26:05,868 --> 00:26:08,784
I was a sergeant on the Los
Angeles police department.
543
00:26:08,828 --> 00:26:11,439
I was the watch commander
in West LA Division.
544
00:26:11,482 --> 00:26:15,399
And he personally felt that
there were some very unusual
545
00:26:15,443 --> 00:26:17,445
things that were
happening that night,
546
00:26:17,488 --> 00:26:20,927
including the fact that her
housekeeper, Eunice Murray,
547
00:26:20,970 --> 00:26:23,190
was doing the laundry
when he arrived.
548
00:26:23,233 --> 00:26:25,932
He found that highly unusual,
that she'd be doing something
549
00:26:25,975 --> 00:26:29,675
like that when, number
one, at this point
550
00:26:29,718 --> 00:26:31,502
they hadn't determined
how she died,
551
00:26:31,546 --> 00:26:33,417
and so one would
think you wouldn't
552
00:26:33,461 --> 00:26:36,333
want to be messing with any
of the laundry at that point.
553
00:26:36,377 --> 00:26:39,162
Eunice Murray was
the one that Greenson
554
00:26:39,206 --> 00:26:43,645
sent to be her housekeeper.
555
00:26:43,689 --> 00:26:45,212
But she was a spy.
556
00:26:45,255 --> 00:26:47,954
He didn't admit to
the club that he felt
557
00:26:47,997 --> 00:26:49,477
that she had been murdered.
558
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,871
Dr. Greenson was there at
the time when he arrived
559
00:26:51,914 --> 00:26:54,656
and it just felt to him like
there was something amiss.
560
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:56,397
Greenson wasn't
acting like you would
561
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,271
expect someone to act who had
had a patient who just died.
562
00:27:01,315 --> 00:27:05,624
Clemmons didn't believe that
Marilyn had taken an overdose.
563
00:27:05,667 --> 00:27:08,975
There was no glass or water
to swallow all the pills.
564
00:27:09,018 --> 00:27:11,934
The caps were neatly
placed on the bottles.
565
00:27:11,978 --> 00:27:14,110
The body looked
staged on the bed.
566
00:27:14,154 --> 00:27:19,072
There are two things at
the scene that disturb me.
567
00:27:19,115 --> 00:27:21,291
One was the time element
between the discovery
568
00:27:21,335 --> 00:27:24,120
of the body and the call
to the police station.
569
00:27:24,164 --> 00:27:28,385
As I was told, the housekeeper
had discovered Marilyn's body
570
00:27:28,429 --> 00:27:29,952
at approximately
11:30 or midnight
571
00:27:29,996 --> 00:27:35,131
but they had not phoned the
police until about 4:30 AM.
572
00:27:35,175 --> 00:27:39,788
I was told by Doctor
Greenson that this
573
00:27:39,832 --> 00:27:42,269
was because they had checked
with the publicity department
574
00:27:42,312 --> 00:27:44,314
at the studio.
575
00:27:44,358 --> 00:27:46,969
That didn't make much sense,
576
00:27:47,013 --> 00:27:50,930
Her doctors, who were
stupid, they were incompetent,
577
00:27:50,973 --> 00:27:52,845
they were ignorant.
578
00:27:55,499 --> 00:27:57,153
Well, Ralph Greenson
was considered
579
00:27:57,197 --> 00:27:59,155
one of the top
people in the field
580
00:27:59,199 --> 00:28:01,897
of psychology and psychoanalysis
in tne entire world.
581
00:28:01,941 --> 00:28:03,507
Yes, that's wonderful.
582
00:28:03,551 --> 00:28:14,823
But because of that, does he
spend eight to nine hours a day
583
00:28:14,867 --> 00:28:16,346
with his client?
584
00:28:16,390 --> 00:28:19,567
And does he invite his client
to have dinner with him
585
00:28:19,610 --> 00:28:22,222
and his family all the time?
586
00:28:22,265 --> 00:28:23,745
I don't think so.
587
00:28:23,789 --> 00:28:26,792
I don't think any psychiatrist
in their right mind
588
00:28:26,835 --> 00:28:28,315
would do that.
589
00:28:28,358 --> 00:28:33,276
The other thing that would
have obviously occurred had
590
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,626
the situation been as it
had represented to me,
591
00:28:35,670 --> 00:28:39,021
was if there would have been
vomit from her because you
592
00:28:39,065 --> 00:28:42,459
simply cannot swallow that much
barbiturates without throwing
593
00:28:42,503 --> 00:28:43,939
some of it up later on.
594
00:28:43,983 --> 00:28:46,594
It makes-- has a very volatile
reaction in the stomach.
595
00:28:46,637 --> 00:28:49,640
Therefore, she could
only have gotten it
596
00:28:49,684 --> 00:28:50,467
through another method.
597
00:30:12,288 --> 00:30:14,682
For years, there's
been claims of Bobby
598
00:30:14,725 --> 00:30:18,033
Kennedy visiting Marilyn
Monroe on the day of her death.
599
00:30:18,077 --> 00:30:21,210
This idea was promoted
in a BBC documentary.
600
00:30:21,254 --> 00:30:22,908
The political enemies
of the Kennedys,
601
00:30:22,951 --> 00:30:25,606
including Jimmy Hoffa,
reserved a special distaste
602
00:30:25,649 --> 00:30:27,564
for Robert Kennedy
as Attorney General
603
00:30:27,608 --> 00:30:28,870
Chief of Law Enforcement.
604
00:30:28,914 --> 00:30:30,524
Hoffa heard rumors
that the younger
605
00:30:30,567 --> 00:30:33,657
Kennedy had himself now become
involved with Marilyn Monroe.
606
00:30:33,701 --> 00:30:35,311
It was difficult
to prove at first,
607
00:30:35,355 --> 00:30:38,053
but early on, we had the
statement of Deborah Gould,
608
00:30:38,097 --> 00:30:39,968
an ex-wife of
President Kennedy's
609
00:30:40,012 --> 00:30:42,101
brother-in-law, Peter
Lawford, that she
610
00:30:42,144 --> 00:30:43,842
reported what Peter told her.
611
00:30:43,885 --> 00:30:46,279
She wasn't an
eyewitness herself.
612
00:30:46,322 --> 00:30:48,150
Deborah Gould,
Lawford's former wife,
613
00:30:48,194 --> 00:30:49,978
says the stories were true.
614
00:30:50,022 --> 00:30:52,676
Deborah Gould was told by
Peter Lawford Kennedy did
615
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,417
visit Marilyn that afternoon.
616
00:30:54,461 --> 00:30:59,553
Marilyn was, from
what Peter told me,
617
00:30:59,596 --> 00:31:03,252
knew then that it was over.
618
00:31:03,296 --> 00:31:05,515
That was it, over, final.
619
00:31:05,559 --> 00:31:07,866
He got really nitty
gritty with her.
620
00:31:07,909 --> 00:31:11,739
And he told her that
he had to leave her.
621
00:31:11,782 --> 00:31:16,700
Too many people watching them,
Hoover, the FBI, Hoffa, and she
622
00:31:16,744 --> 00:31:18,702
was never to call him again.
623
00:31:18,746 --> 00:31:20,966
A problem with
that information was
624
00:31:21,009 --> 00:31:24,360
that Bobby Kennedy had an
alibi establishing that he
625
00:31:24,404 --> 00:31:27,798
wasn't in LA on that day.
626
00:31:27,842 --> 00:31:33,239
That alibi came into question
when I found a certain document
627
00:31:33,282 --> 00:31:35,023
declassified by the FBI.
628
00:31:35,067 --> 00:31:39,419
I was going through
the FBI archives
629
00:31:39,462 --> 00:31:42,422
and I came across a new
release under the Freedom
630
00:31:42,465 --> 00:31:45,773
of Information Act
on Marilyn Monroe.
631
00:31:45,816 --> 00:31:49,908
And I started reading it
and I couldn't believe it.
632
00:31:49,951 --> 00:31:52,562
So I called my editor at
the "Sydney Morning Herald"
633
00:31:52,606 --> 00:31:54,042
and I said, I'm
not sure what this
634
00:31:54,086 --> 00:31:59,961
is but I found an FBI memo
implicating Robert Kennedy
635
00:32:00,005 --> 00:32:02,181
in the death of Marilyn.
636
00:32:02,224 --> 00:32:04,139
And they said, hang
on, where are you?
637
00:32:04,183 --> 00:32:06,968
And I said, I'm inside
the FBI archive.
638
00:32:07,012 --> 00:32:09,971
They said, can you fax this
to us, e-mail it to us?
639
00:32:10,015 --> 00:32:11,625
I said yes.
640
00:32:11,668 --> 00:32:14,236
I did that pretty quickly and
they got their lawyers there.
641
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,196
There were like four lawyers
involved almost instantly.
642
00:32:17,239 --> 00:32:20,286
So they said, we're going to go
with this as a front page story
643
00:32:20,329 --> 00:32:22,201
because this is news.
644
00:32:22,244 --> 00:32:25,944
And this is the first time
this has been revealed.
645
00:32:25,987 --> 00:32:28,468
So it was a startling memo.
646
00:32:28,511 --> 00:32:33,603
And the next day it was
world wide, front page,
647
00:32:33,647 --> 00:32:39,348
London, Moscow, New York, LA,
the whole world, this story
648
00:32:39,392 --> 00:32:41,002
was out.
649
00:32:41,046 --> 00:32:42,569
NEWS REPORTER: Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy and his wife
650
00:32:42,612 --> 00:32:44,658
arrive in Tokyo
for a Japanese good
651
00:32:44,701 --> 00:32:46,094
will visit on
behalf of President
652
00:32:46,138 --> 00:32:48,401
Kennedy's New Frontier program.
653
00:32:48,444 --> 00:32:50,272
Under the Freedom
of Information Act,
654
00:32:50,316 --> 00:32:55,451
the US government is compelled
to release classified documents
655
00:32:55,495 --> 00:32:57,279
after a certain period of time.
656
00:32:57,323 --> 00:32:59,847
It's a startling
document, particularly
657
00:32:59,890 --> 00:33:02,154
when you see on it who read it.
658
00:33:02,197 --> 00:33:06,680
It had been read by numerous top
officials of the FBI, numerous.
659
00:33:06,723 --> 00:33:08,638
And then it had been buried.
660
00:33:08,682 --> 00:33:12,512
The significant thing to me,
apart from the fact that it
661
00:33:12,555 --> 00:33:18,561
exists, was that it had been
basically banned, not released,
662
00:33:18,605 --> 00:33:20,215
until I found it again.
663
00:33:20,259 --> 00:33:21,825
Someone had seen it in the '80s.
664
00:33:21,869 --> 00:33:23,044
I don't remember the exact date.
665
00:33:23,088 --> 00:33:25,090
It's on the document
someone had seen it
666
00:33:25,133 --> 00:33:28,702
and then it had been put back
into the file and not released.
667
00:33:28,745 --> 00:33:32,314
Look at the statement that
John Bates gave to the BBC.
668
00:33:32,358 --> 00:33:36,449
He says that RFK was visiting
him at the Bates Ranch that day
669
00:33:36,492 --> 00:33:38,233
near San Francisco.
670
00:33:38,277 --> 00:33:42,411
Note how long he pauses when
asked about Bobby's reaction
671
00:33:42,455 --> 00:33:43,934
to Marilyn's death.
672
00:33:43,978 --> 00:33:45,153
BBC REPORTER: Were
you with Bobby when
673
00:33:45,197 --> 00:33:49,201
he heard of Monroe's death?
674
00:33:49,244 --> 00:33:52,291
Yes, I believe we picked
it up on the radio.
675
00:33:52,334 --> 00:33:55,772
BBC REPORTER: How did
Bobby react to the news?
676
00:33:55,816 --> 00:34:03,128
Well, I don't recall
any specific reaction.
677
00:34:03,171 --> 00:34:05,521
BBC REPORTER: Why do you think
that so many witnesses in Los
678
00:34:05,565 --> 00:34:07,132
Angeles would have
told us and told
679
00:34:07,175 --> 00:34:10,048
the police that Bobby Kennedy
was in Los Angeles that day.
680
00:34:10,091 --> 00:34:13,747
I just can't speculate
on their misinformation
681
00:34:13,790 --> 00:34:17,620
or their bad information
or what they think they saw
682
00:34:17,664 --> 00:34:19,970
or what they think
they knew, but there
683
00:34:20,014 --> 00:34:21,711
is no way he could have
been in Los Angeles
684
00:34:21,755 --> 00:34:23,583
unless he had a twin.
685
00:34:23,626 --> 00:34:25,715
Isn't it odd that two
key members of the police
686
00:34:25,759 --> 00:34:28,022
department of that time, that
is the police chief himself
687
00:34:28,066 --> 00:34:30,416
and the chief of detectives
would both have been
688
00:34:30,459 --> 00:34:33,027
of the view that Bobby
was there if in fact there
689
00:34:33,071 --> 00:34:34,028
was no evidence?
690
00:34:34,072 --> 00:34:36,161
I'd like to cross-examine them.
691
00:34:36,204 --> 00:34:38,554
I can't believe it.
692
00:34:38,598 --> 00:34:40,861
I find it very
ironic, John Bates
693
00:34:40,904 --> 00:34:43,559
who was the supposed
alibi for Robert Kennedy
694
00:34:43,603 --> 00:34:46,345
is seen in newsreel
footage as the attorney
695
00:34:46,388 --> 00:34:48,651
for Sam Giancana,
one of the most
696
00:34:48,695 --> 00:34:51,132
powerful mobsters in America.
697
00:34:51,176 --> 00:34:53,700
Why was he covering up
for Bobby who once tried
698
00:34:53,743 --> 00:34:55,963
to put his client in jail?
699
00:34:56,006 --> 00:35:00,098
John Bates' claim that Bobby
never left his ranch the day
700
00:35:00,141 --> 00:35:02,404
of Marilyn Monroe's
death is contradicted
701
00:35:02,448 --> 00:35:04,319
by one of the most
decorated cops
702
00:35:04,363 --> 00:35:08,671
in the Beverly Hills Police
Department, Lynn Franklin.
703
00:35:08,715 --> 00:35:13,067
I approached Olympic
Boulevard at about 12:10 AM.
704
00:35:13,111 --> 00:35:15,809
I spotted a Lincoln Continental
diong about 70 miles an hour
705
00:35:15,852 --> 00:35:19,595
eastbound on Olympic
Boulevard in a 25 mile zone.
706
00:35:19,639 --> 00:35:21,684
I threw on my red
light siren and finally
707
00:35:21,728 --> 00:35:23,991
got the car stopped
right here at the curb,
708
00:35:24,034 --> 00:35:26,036
which is a mile away.
709
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,517
I walked up the car
recognized Peter Lawford, whom
710
00:35:28,561 --> 00:35:31,955
I'd know for years, driving.
711
00:35:31,999 --> 00:35:34,349
Seated in the back seat was
Robert Kennedy, the Attorney
712
00:35:34,393 --> 00:35:37,178
General and there was
another man in the front seat
713
00:35:37,222 --> 00:35:38,614
with Peter Lawford.
714
00:35:38,658 --> 00:35:42,227
I asked Peter why he
was driving so fast.
715
00:35:42,270 --> 00:35:44,577
He said he was trying to get the
Attorney General to the Hilton
716
00:35:44,620 --> 00:35:46,622
Hotel to pick up his luggage.
717
00:35:46,666 --> 00:35:49,016
He had to leave town.
718
00:35:49,059 --> 00:35:51,758
I said, well, Peter you're
two miles beyond the turn
719
00:35:51,801 --> 00:35:54,543
off point for the Hilton
Hotel and at that time
720
00:35:54,587 --> 00:35:57,807
the Attorney General
said, you stupid ass,
721
00:35:57,851 --> 00:35:59,592
referring to Peter Lawford.
722
00:35:59,635 --> 00:36:03,291
Journalist Chris Epting
cites 18 witnesses who saw
723
00:36:03,335 --> 00:36:05,467
Bobby Kennedy in LA that day.
724
00:36:05,511 --> 00:36:08,905
You've got a neighbor of
Peter Lawford's seeing him.
725
00:36:08,949 --> 00:36:10,864
You've got a neighbor of
Marilyn Monroe seeing him.
726
00:36:10,907 --> 00:36:12,735
And the Mayor of
LA Sam Yorty, was
727
00:36:12,779 --> 00:36:16,435
briefed on this by this Chief
of Police, Chief Parker.
728
00:36:16,478 --> 00:36:19,481
Here's what the mayor
of LA told "48 Hours."
729
00:36:19,525 --> 00:36:22,092
Chief Parker told
me confidentially
730
00:36:22,136 --> 00:36:24,617
that Bobby Kennedy
was supposed to be
731
00:36:24,660 --> 00:36:27,141
north of Los Angeles in
some city making a speech
732
00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:31,232
but that actually he said
he was seen in the Beverly
733
00:36:31,276 --> 00:36:32,842
Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
734
00:36:32,886 --> 00:36:35,584
Where was Bobby Kennedy, the
Attorney General of the United
735
00:36:35,628 --> 00:36:39,240
States on August 4, 1962?
736
00:36:39,284 --> 00:36:42,678
Well, our records show
that he was in Los Angeles,
737
00:36:42,722 --> 00:36:45,725
and probably that information
came to our intelligence
738
00:36:45,768 --> 00:36:47,944
function through the FBI.
739
00:36:47,988 --> 00:36:49,859
He was the Attorney General
of the United States.
740
00:36:49,903 --> 00:36:51,383
He could have been
on an investigation
741
00:36:51,426 --> 00:36:53,689
and we didn't follow him.
742
00:36:53,733 --> 00:36:55,604
We just knew that came
in to the airport.
743
00:36:55,648 --> 00:36:58,346
Another Police
Chief, Tom Reddin,
744
00:36:58,390 --> 00:37:03,003
confirmed this in stark terms
when he implicated Robert
745
00:37:03,046 --> 00:37:04,918
Kennedy, the Attorney General.
746
00:37:04,961 --> 00:37:07,573
It was treated
as an intelligence
747
00:37:07,616 --> 00:37:09,792
division operation.
748
00:37:09,836 --> 00:37:12,360
And logically, it
could be so treated
749
00:37:12,404 --> 00:37:16,277
because there was the
involvement of the Attorney
750
00:37:16,321 --> 00:37:17,887
General of the United States.
751
00:37:17,931 --> 00:37:21,064
Inspectors Gerry McGee
and James O'Hern always
752
00:37:21,108 --> 00:37:23,980
protected Bobby Kennedy
when he was in Los Angeles,
753
00:37:24,024 --> 00:37:26,374
but they weren't with him
when he left that night.
754
00:37:26,418 --> 00:37:30,030
The BBC tried to question
them and reported as follows.
755
00:37:30,073 --> 00:37:32,685
We tried to find them,
but one of them is dead
756
00:37:32,728 --> 00:37:34,121
and the other remains silent.
757
00:37:34,164 --> 00:37:39,082
Myth or fact, J. Edgar
Hoover hated Robert Kennedy.
758
00:37:39,126 --> 00:37:41,389
And anything he
could do apparently,
759
00:37:41,433 --> 00:37:45,741
myth or fact, to screw
Robert Kennedy, he would do.
760
00:37:45,785 --> 00:37:47,352
We know that the
Kennedy brothers
761
00:37:47,395 --> 00:37:50,224
wanted to fire J. Edgar Hoover,
but he had a lot of dirt
762
00:37:50,268 --> 00:37:51,834
on them.
763
00:37:51,878 --> 00:37:54,837
And there were accounts of a
meeting where J. Edgar Hoover
764
00:37:54,881 --> 00:37:57,840
laid out all this stuff when he
was being threatened by Robert
765
00:37:57,884 --> 00:37:59,581
Kennedy, his nominal boss.
766
00:37:59,625 --> 00:38:02,280
And so he remained
head of the FBI.
767
00:38:02,323 --> 00:38:05,544
Obviously Marilyn's
political associations
768
00:38:05,587 --> 00:38:07,285
influenced the
police investigation
769
00:38:07,328 --> 00:38:08,111
from the beginning.
770
00:38:14,335 --> 00:38:17,425
I was a student
of Milo Speriglio
771
00:38:17,469 --> 00:38:19,601
and he turned me
on to this case,
772
00:38:19,645 --> 00:38:24,040
being that he didn't believe
she died of a suicide.
773
00:38:24,084 --> 00:38:27,479
There was a lot of
contradicting evidence.
774
00:38:27,522 --> 00:38:29,481
None of it seemed to add up.
775
00:38:29,524 --> 00:38:31,091
And of course, he
wasn't the only one
776
00:38:31,134 --> 00:38:32,875
that came to this conclusion.
777
00:38:32,919 --> 00:38:35,835
The physical evidence,
the forensic evidence
778
00:38:35,878 --> 00:38:39,055
acquired on a crime
scene has to be reflected
779
00:38:39,099 --> 00:38:41,667
in the coroner's report.
780
00:38:41,710 --> 00:38:43,408
There can't be discrepancies.
781
00:38:43,451 --> 00:38:45,061
There can't be a conflict.
782
00:38:45,105 --> 00:38:49,152
When a person dies, there can
only be one coroner's report.
783
00:38:49,196 --> 00:38:50,893
There can't be two.
784
00:38:50,937 --> 00:38:52,852
If there's two, there's
a cover up, Well,
785
00:38:52,895 --> 00:38:56,203
Milo showed me both versions.
786
00:38:56,246 --> 00:38:59,075
Of course, both
versions indicated
787
00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:01,817
she died of probable suicide.
788
00:39:01,861 --> 00:39:05,517
On this case,
Noguchi is overruled.
789
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:06,735
I mean, he is the coroner.
790
00:39:06,779 --> 00:39:08,389
He's the man in charge.
791
00:39:08,433 --> 00:39:09,956
He inspected her body.
792
00:39:09,999 --> 00:39:11,131
They're overruling him.
793
00:39:11,174 --> 00:39:12,611
And you got politics involved.
794
00:39:29,889 --> 00:39:31,586
Noguchi later sent
organ specimens
795
00:39:31,630 --> 00:39:35,503
for microscopic analysis, but
the specimens were destroyed
796
00:39:35,547 --> 00:39:36,983
before the tests were done.
797
00:39:37,026 --> 00:39:39,551
That is a part of
an autopsy, is doing
798
00:39:39,594 --> 00:39:44,294
the microscopic slides
for diagnostic purposes
799
00:39:44,338 --> 00:39:45,731
and evaluation.
800
00:39:45,774 --> 00:39:47,254
BBC REPORTER: And why wasn't
that done in this case?
801
00:39:47,297 --> 00:39:48,647
I don't know.
802
00:39:48,690 --> 00:39:49,691
BBC REPORTER: Would you
have wished it to be done?
803
00:39:49,735 --> 00:39:51,084
Yes indeed.
804
00:39:51,127 --> 00:39:52,128
BBC REPORTER: And Noguchi
wished it to be done.
805
00:39:52,172 --> 00:39:53,782
Yes.
806
00:39:53,826 --> 00:39:55,131
BBC REPORTER: And it would have
been normally routine to have
807
00:39:55,175 --> 00:39:56,481
made that kind of examination.
808
00:39:56,524 --> 00:39:58,439
That's true.
809
00:39:58,483 --> 00:40:00,223
BBC REPORTER: What happened
to the medical photographs
810
00:40:00,267 --> 00:40:01,529
that were taken.
811
00:40:01,573 --> 00:40:03,139
I have no idea.
812
00:40:03,183 --> 00:40:05,707
BBC REPORTER: But they
seem not to exist anymore.
813
00:40:05,751 --> 00:40:07,274
That appears to be true.
814
00:40:11,060 --> 00:40:14,847
Why would Noguchi say that
this is a jigsaw puzzle
815
00:40:14,890 --> 00:40:17,458
and there are about a dozen
pieces that are missing?
816
00:40:40,350 --> 00:40:43,615
A dozen pieces he had and they're gone.
817
00:40:43,658 --> 00:40:49,142
I should have called for
a criminal investigation,
818
00:40:49,185 --> 00:40:53,581
but almost all the evidence
had been destroyed.
819
00:40:53,625 --> 00:40:56,236
The police files are gone.
820
00:40:56,279 --> 00:41:00,849
The official explanation, they
were destroyed in compliance
821
00:41:00,893 --> 00:41:02,895
with departmental procedures.
822
00:41:02,938 --> 00:41:05,506
Another big riddle
is her psychiatrist,
823
00:41:05,550 --> 00:41:07,160
Dr. Ralph Greenson.
824
00:41:07,203 --> 00:41:09,379
His first story to
police mentioned
825
00:41:09,423 --> 00:41:11,381
nothing about Robert Kennedy.
826
00:41:11,425 --> 00:41:13,601
In later years,
when others started
827
00:41:13,645 --> 00:41:16,561
to there was a Bobby
Kennedy connection,
828
00:41:16,604 --> 00:41:18,476
Greenson said,
this to a reporter.
829
00:41:36,798 --> 00:41:38,496
Talk to Bobby Kennedy?
830
00:41:38,539 --> 00:41:39,801
That's huge.
831
00:41:39,845 --> 00:41:42,935
That's a huge statement
and was never explored,
832
00:41:42,978 --> 00:41:47,113
explained, or elaborated
on by Dr. Greenson.
833
00:41:47,156 --> 00:41:50,943
Many of his private notes
are still under seal
834
00:41:50,986 --> 00:41:52,074
and will be for decades.
835
00:41:58,603 --> 00:42:01,910
"Don't Bother to Knock" has
elements of her past in it.
836
00:42:01,954 --> 00:42:03,651
Her mother and her
grandmother were
837
00:42:03,695 --> 00:42:06,480
institutionalized
for mental problems,
838
00:42:06,524 --> 00:42:08,569
as well was Marilyn herself.
839
00:42:08,613 --> 00:42:13,661
She personally was only
briefly institutionalized.
840
00:42:13,705 --> 00:42:16,882
Joe DiMaggio did get her
out of the institution,
841
00:42:16,925 --> 00:42:19,493
but there is that
in this character
842
00:42:19,537 --> 00:42:22,583
in "Don't Bother to Knock"
that she comes from that.
843
00:42:22,627 --> 00:42:26,021
Even before you came
over here, I knew.
844
00:42:26,065 --> 00:42:30,548
Every time you looked at me, I
wanted to kiss you, like now.
845
00:42:37,642 --> 00:42:40,296
I did it with a razor.
846
00:42:40,340 --> 00:42:43,691
You did that to yourself?
847
00:42:43,735 --> 00:42:45,475
And you know, with her
mother and her grandmother,
848
00:42:45,519 --> 00:42:47,695
it sort of ran in the
family of these things
849
00:42:47,739 --> 00:42:49,349
can run in the family.
850
00:42:49,392 --> 00:42:52,613
And Marilyn was probably very
affected by that knowledge too.
851
00:42:52,657 --> 00:42:56,095
"Niagara," 20th Century Fox,
she did with Joseph Cotten.
852
00:42:56,138 --> 00:42:57,836
She played kind
of a femme fatale.
853
00:42:57,879 --> 00:43:00,621
This was the first time I'd
seen her do this kind of role
854
00:43:00,665 --> 00:43:03,232
where she was basically
out to kill him.
855
00:43:03,276 --> 00:43:05,974
And of course, it's
set at Niagara Falls,
856
00:43:06,018 --> 00:43:09,325
and it really did have
a feel of Hitchcock.
857
00:43:09,369 --> 00:43:12,938
It is an unsettling image
to watch now, knowing
858
00:43:12,981 --> 00:43:14,635
what happened to Marilyn.
859
00:43:14,679 --> 00:43:17,029
But I don't think
there is another movie,
860
00:43:17,072 --> 00:43:19,509
I can't think of another
movie in which she dies.
861
00:43:19,553 --> 00:43:21,207
And she's murdered
in that movie.
862
00:43:21,250 --> 00:43:23,209
And so we do see
her laid out flat.
863
00:43:23,252 --> 00:43:26,516
And we've seen those
images of Marilyn Monroe
864
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,170
after her real death too.
865
00:43:28,214 --> 00:43:30,956
And so when you
watch Niagara today,
866
00:43:30,999 --> 00:43:34,655
it is a little cringe
inducing, this beautiful woman,
867
00:43:34,699 --> 00:43:37,484
cut down before her time.
868
00:43:37,527 --> 00:43:39,747
And it's kind of creepy.
869
00:43:39,791 --> 00:43:42,010
Her character in
"Niagara" is violently
870
00:43:42,054 --> 00:43:45,927
murdered by a person who was
intent on getting rid of her.
871
00:43:45,971 --> 00:43:47,799
In Marilyn's own
life, many people
872
00:43:47,842 --> 00:43:51,237
do speculate that it wasn't a
suicide, that this might have
873
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,066
been something that happened
to her, that somebody
874
00:43:54,109 --> 00:43:55,371
wanted to get rid of her.
875
00:43:55,415 --> 00:43:58,679
Certainly the FBI
carried big files on her.
876
00:43:58,723 --> 00:44:00,681
The CIA did too.
877
00:44:00,725 --> 00:44:02,248
Marilyn was being watched.
878
00:44:02,291 --> 00:44:03,815
There's no question about it.
879
00:44:03,858 --> 00:44:06,687
And so when you see this happen,
and you see this character
880
00:44:06,731 --> 00:44:09,255
in "Niagara" murdered,
when you watch it now,
881
00:44:09,298 --> 00:44:11,344
your head has to go
to a certain point
882
00:44:11,387 --> 00:44:13,389
where you think like,
well, what happened
883
00:44:13,433 --> 00:44:17,089
to Marilyn in real life, and
did this all presage this?
884
00:44:17,132 --> 00:44:17,872
Chopsticks.
885
00:44:17,916 --> 00:44:18,873
I can play that too.
886
00:44:18,917 --> 00:44:20,179
Shove over.
887
00:44:20,222 --> 00:44:32,800
"The Seven Year Itch"
888
00:44:32,844 --> 00:44:35,281
Don't stop.
889
00:44:35,324 --> 00:44:36,761
Why did you stop?
890
00:44:36,804 --> 00:44:38,240
You know why.
891
00:44:38,284 --> 00:44:39,677
Why?
892
00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:43,028
Because, because now I'm
going to take you in my arms
893
00:44:43,071 --> 00:44:47,685
and kiss you very
quickly and very hard.
894
00:44:47,728 --> 00:44:49,643
Wait a minute.
895
00:44:49,687 --> 00:44:51,776
This movie was a
very big success
896
00:44:51,819 --> 00:44:56,171
and really led to her
renewing her contract at Fox
897
00:44:56,215 --> 00:44:59,261
and calling the shots and having
her own production company.
898
00:44:59,305 --> 00:45:03,048
Because Fox realized
she was a hot commodity.
899
00:45:03,091 --> 00:45:05,746
Your host tonight is correctly
addressed as Your Grand Ducal
900
00:45:05,790 --> 00:45:09,358
Highness or sir, although as the
prince of Hungary, which he was
901
00:45:09,402 --> 00:45:12,535
before he married the late queen
of Carpathia, he is, I suppose,
902
00:45:12,579 --> 00:45:14,624
correctly entitled
the former Appellation
903
00:45:14,668 --> 00:45:16,061
of Imperial and Royal.
904
00:45:16,104 --> 00:45:18,324
I don't know what
you're talking about.
905
00:45:18,367 --> 00:45:21,762
In "Prince and the Show Girl,"
again there are certain ironies
906
00:45:21,806 --> 00:45:24,156
with Monroe's own life.
907
00:45:24,199 --> 00:45:27,507
She plays somebody who really
does wrap this very important
908
00:45:27,550 --> 00:45:29,422
prince, this very
important person
909
00:45:29,465 --> 00:45:31,119
around her little
finger, and she
910
00:45:31,163 --> 00:45:35,384
starts having a little
bit of control over what
911
00:45:35,428 --> 00:45:37,169
happens in affairs of state.
912
00:45:37,212 --> 00:45:39,606
But it isn't signed
Nicholas at all.
913
00:45:39,649 --> 00:45:41,303
Of course not, darling.
914
00:45:41,347 --> 00:45:44,567
You know, you have those little
conditions to agree to first.
915
00:45:44,611 --> 00:45:48,441
Give and take,
darling, give and take.
916
00:45:48,484 --> 00:45:49,921
Ah, that's right.
917
00:45:49,964 --> 00:45:53,359
That will help you see it
in the best possible light.
918
00:45:53,402 --> 00:45:55,796
Do you not see, you
pretty little dummkopf,
919
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,581
that a general election will
put the Kaiser's party in power
920
00:45:58,625 --> 00:46:02,368
and there will be a war
in Europe in six months?
921
00:46:02,411 --> 00:46:04,065
Well, I don't see how
you can be so sure.
922
00:46:04,109 --> 00:46:07,155
I mean, well, what
if your party wins?
923
00:46:07,199 --> 00:46:08,896
That's the funny thing
about general elections,
924
00:46:08,940 --> 00:46:10,811
you never know who
is going to win.
925
00:46:10,855 --> 00:46:15,076
She was not afraid to express
her opinion in her own life
926
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,297
and reportedly with the
Kennedys themselves,
927
00:46:18,340 --> 00:46:21,822
she gave some strong opinions
on Cuba and different things
928
00:46:21,866 --> 00:46:24,433
like that, and
wrapped them perhaps
929
00:46:24,477 --> 00:46:27,523
around her finger just the
way she wrapped Olivier's
930
00:46:27,567 --> 00:46:29,525
character around her finger.
931
00:46:29,569 --> 00:46:33,138
These things sometimes
are so strange,
932
00:46:33,181 --> 00:46:36,619
they seem incredibly
hard to believe.
933
00:46:36,663 --> 00:46:38,839
But when you look at "The
Prince and the Showgirl"
934
00:46:38,883 --> 00:46:40,406
and you see that
character and then
935
00:46:40,449 --> 00:46:43,539
you see what we know of Marilyn
and what we've been told
936
00:46:43,583 --> 00:46:48,153
about Marilyn in her own life
with very, very powerful men,
937
00:46:48,196 --> 00:46:52,940
you have to ask the question,
is life imitating art?
938
00:46:52,984 --> 00:46:57,292
She was definitely
engaged in politics.
939
00:46:57,336 --> 00:46:58,772
She married Arthur Miller.
940
00:46:58,816 --> 00:47:00,861
All his work is
political, actually.
941
00:47:00,905 --> 00:47:03,211
It's kind of sad
that they broke up.
942
00:47:03,255 --> 00:47:07,694
But obviously Marilyn
was a handful for anyone,
943
00:47:07,737 --> 00:47:10,828
including the president.
944
00:47:10,871 --> 00:47:12,786
I don't know why she
married Arthur Miller.
945
00:47:12,830 --> 00:47:17,138
She doesn't know why she
married Arthur Miller.
946
00:47:17,182 --> 00:47:18,444
Father figure.
947
00:47:18,487 --> 00:47:21,795
I mean, how far-- he's
pretty close to DiMaggio
948
00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:25,233
in that sense, as far as
being a father figure.
949
00:47:25,277 --> 00:47:29,455
When she married Arthur Miller,
she converted to Judaism.
950
00:47:29,498 --> 00:47:31,587
It was her choice.
951
00:47:31,631 --> 00:47:34,721
He went along with it
but it was her choice,
952
00:47:34,764 --> 00:47:37,463
her being supportive
of her new husband.
953
00:47:37,506 --> 00:47:42,685
However, her doing that
really freaked the Muslims
954
00:47:42,729 --> 00:47:44,035
throughout the world.
955
00:47:44,078 --> 00:47:48,822
And they just decided
to abandon her pictures.
956
00:47:48,866 --> 00:47:51,694
We won't show her pictures over
here in all these countries
957
00:47:51,738 --> 00:47:53,783
anymore.
958
00:47:53,827 --> 00:47:55,176
He he was a communist too.
959
00:47:55,220 --> 00:48:00,007
He wrote for the communist
newspaper, documented.
960
00:48:00,051 --> 00:48:03,837
Perhaps marrying Arthur Miller,
she was fulfilling a void.
961
00:48:03,881 --> 00:48:07,797
She wanted to be
thought of as an intellectual,
962
00:48:07,841 --> 00:48:09,712
because everyone thought
of her as a dumb blonde.
963
00:48:09,756 --> 00:48:12,454
But in reality, pretty
far from the truth.
964
00:48:12,498 --> 00:48:13,934
You know, she
could play it well.
965
00:48:13,978 --> 00:48:16,023
She went to Mexico City
and she was hanging out
966
00:48:16,067 --> 00:48:19,287
with a Vanderbilt
heir, very rich
967
00:48:19,331 --> 00:48:23,596
American family, who was
a, if not a communist,
968
00:48:23,639 --> 00:48:25,380
hard core leftist.
969
00:48:25,424 --> 00:48:28,166
And he had communist
friends around him.
970
00:48:28,209 --> 00:48:30,820
This was really
alarming J. Edgar Hoover
971
00:48:30,864 --> 00:48:32,866
that she was hanging
out with these people
972
00:48:32,910 --> 00:48:34,433
down there because
he knew there were
973
00:48:34,476 --> 00:48:37,958
Soviet KGB agents down there.
974
00:48:38,002 --> 00:48:39,786
Marilyn Monroe, what a prize.
975
00:48:39,829 --> 00:48:42,093
She'd slept with the President
of the United States.
976
00:48:42,136 --> 00:48:46,619
In 1985, 23 years
after Marilyn's death,
977
00:48:46,662 --> 00:48:50,275
Eunice Murray, the housekeeper,
made startling confessions
978
00:48:50,318 --> 00:48:54,583
and comments to the BBC, which
she had kept out of her book.
979
00:48:54,627 --> 00:48:57,369
She did reveal in
this crucial testimony
980
00:48:57,412 --> 00:49:00,024
that Robert Kennedy
was in fact there
981
00:49:00,067 --> 00:49:03,462
the day of Marilyn's death
and in some kind of a fight.
982
00:49:03,505 --> 00:49:07,292
Bobby felt threatened by
something Marilyn was saying.
983
00:49:07,335 --> 00:49:12,427
Well, over a period
of time, I was not
984
00:49:12,471 --> 00:49:18,651
at all surprised that the
Kennedys were a very important
985
00:49:18,694 --> 00:49:22,002
part of Marilyn's life.
986
00:49:22,046 --> 00:49:25,223
And so that I was
just a-- I wasn't
987
00:49:25,266 --> 00:49:27,660
included in this information,
but I was a witness
988
00:49:27,703 --> 00:49:28,704
to what was happening.
989
00:49:50,900 --> 00:49:53,425
We've already heard
this from Deborah Gould.
990
00:49:53,468 --> 00:49:54,904
But this is different.
991
00:49:54,948 --> 00:49:58,734
This is the eye witness
account by the housekeeper
992
00:49:58,778 --> 00:49:59,997
who was there.
993
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:01,868
Yes, Eunice Murray
contradicted what
994
00:50:01,911 --> 00:50:06,003
she initially said in her
book later on in her life.
995
00:50:06,046 --> 00:50:07,787
She may have not
felt comfortable
996
00:50:07,830 --> 00:50:09,658
initially writing it in her book.
997
00:50:09,702 --> 00:50:13,053
It's become very apparent
that the delay of five or six
998
00:50:13,097 --> 00:50:16,665
hours after discovering the
body and notifying the police
999
00:50:16,709 --> 00:50:20,626
enabled Robert Kennedy a chance
to get out of Los Angeles.
1000
00:50:20,669 --> 00:50:23,846
News reports later stated
it gave time for any written
1001
00:50:23,890 --> 00:50:25,935
evidence of the
Kennedy's relationships
1002
00:50:25,979 --> 00:50:28,199
with Marilyn to be removed.
1003
00:50:28,242 --> 00:50:30,288
See the public didn't really
know about any of this.
1004
00:50:30,331 --> 00:50:33,639
Nobody knew about the Kennedy
affair with her or any of that
1005
00:50:33,682 --> 00:50:37,599
or that Bobby Kennedy might
have been to her home that day.
1006
00:50:37,643 --> 00:50:39,862
This came out years
after her death.
1007
00:50:39,906 --> 00:50:42,604
I was supposed to appear on
ABC "Good Morning America,"
1008
00:50:42,648 --> 00:50:44,041
and they were flying
me to New York.
1009
00:50:44,084 --> 00:50:45,607
And then the producer
called me and said, look,
1010
00:50:45,651 --> 00:50:47,261
we're really sorry.
1011
00:50:47,305 --> 00:50:49,394
They're putting pressure on the
network not to run with this.
1012
00:50:49,437 --> 00:50:53,224
The major London newspapers,
"The Telegraph," "The Times,"
1013
00:50:53,267 --> 00:50:55,313
had all gone with the
story, "The Guardian,"
1014
00:50:55,356 --> 00:50:57,576
every major publication
had, France.
1015
00:50:57,619 --> 00:51:01,884
But in the US the press
was basically stopped.
1016
00:51:01,928 --> 00:51:06,063
And Philippe was scheduled
to go on "Larry King,"
1017
00:51:06,106 --> 00:51:08,369
and also to do "Good
Morning America,"
1018
00:51:08,413 --> 00:51:10,545
but suddenly those
two appearances
1019
00:51:10,589 --> 00:51:12,982
got canceled out of the blue.
1020
00:51:13,026 --> 00:51:14,506
And it turned out
that they said,
1021
00:51:14,549 --> 00:51:17,117
oh, Larry's got
some heart trouble.
1022
00:51:17,161 --> 00:51:21,556
And it was Maria Shriver who
was taking over his position
1023
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:22,601
that night.
1024
00:51:22,644 --> 00:51:24,255
Very interesting.
1025
00:51:24,298 --> 00:51:33,046
And the next day, I find this
glass framed photo of Marilyn
1026
00:51:33,090 --> 00:51:34,961
popped on the floor broken.
1027
00:51:35,004 --> 00:51:36,658
My name is Al Babbitt.
1028
00:51:36,702 --> 00:51:39,183
I am the owner of the
Messenger Art Collection.
1029
00:51:39,226 --> 00:51:42,925
We have about 6,000 pieces
of art in our collection,
1030
00:51:42,969 --> 00:51:44,710
21 of the pieces
in the collection
1031
00:51:44,753 --> 00:51:48,627
are the color transparencies
that you see here.
1032
00:51:48,670 --> 00:51:51,151
The significance of
these separations
1033
00:51:51,195 --> 00:51:53,719
is that they were
used in the production
1034
00:51:53,762 --> 00:51:56,243
of the first calendar
produced by John Baumgarth
1035
00:51:56,287 --> 00:52:00,508
Company in 1951, featuring
Marilyn Monroe when she was
1036
00:52:00,552 --> 00:52:03,598
a relatively unknown
actress, in fact,
1037
00:52:03,642 --> 00:52:07,385
was not even identified
as the model that appeared
1038
00:52:07,428 --> 00:52:08,908
in the calendar itself.
1039
00:52:08,951 --> 00:52:11,867
The photo that this
calendar was based on
1040
00:52:11,911 --> 00:52:14,566
was taken by a very
famous photographer
1041
00:52:14,609 --> 00:52:16,568
of the time in the late
'40s and early '50s
1042
00:52:16,611 --> 00:52:17,917
by the name of Tom Kelley.
1043
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,049
And Marilyn crossed
paths initially
1044
00:52:20,093 --> 00:52:22,574
with Tom Kelley
in October, 1948,
1045
00:52:22,617 --> 00:52:24,358
when he happened
upon an auto accident
1046
00:52:24,402 --> 00:52:28,623
that she had had when she was
rushing to get to an audition.
1047
00:52:28,667 --> 00:52:30,669
She needed cab fare
because her car
1048
00:52:30,712 --> 00:52:35,195
was disabled, so he paid her $5
and gave her his business card.
1049
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,850
She called up and asked
him if there was any work
1050
00:52:37,893 --> 00:52:39,025
that she could do for him.
1051
00:52:39,068 --> 00:52:41,375
As it turned out,
the model that he
1052
00:52:41,419 --> 00:52:43,769
had scheduled for a
Pabst beer calendar
1053
00:52:43,812 --> 00:52:45,379
called in sick just that day.
1054
00:52:45,423 --> 00:52:47,294
And so he said, well, if you'd
like to make a few dollars,
1055
00:52:47,338 --> 00:52:50,645
why don't you come by my
studio and be happy to film
1056
00:52:50,689 --> 00:52:52,256
you for that or
use you for that.
1057
00:52:52,299 --> 00:52:56,521
It's basically, she was in a
bathing suit with a beach ball.
1058
00:52:56,564 --> 00:53:00,742
Now you can imagine in
1949, you're John Baumgarth
1059
00:53:00,786 --> 00:53:02,222
and you want to produce
a calendar which
1060
00:53:02,266 --> 00:53:05,225
is a tasteful nude,
but something that you
1061
00:53:05,269 --> 00:53:06,748
want to make a big seller.
1062
00:53:06,792 --> 00:53:07,662
How do you do it?
1063
00:53:07,706 --> 00:53:09,534
He hooked up with Tom Kelley.
1064
00:53:09,577 --> 00:53:11,188
He liked the look,
and so he asked
1065
00:53:11,231 --> 00:53:13,015
if Kelley could ask her
if she'd be willing to do
1066
00:53:13,059 --> 00:53:14,452
a nude photo shoot.
1067
00:53:14,495 --> 00:53:18,978
When I first asked her to
do it, she turned me down.
1068
00:53:19,021 --> 00:53:21,720
But after thinking it
over for a few days,
1069
00:53:21,763 --> 00:53:25,637
she came back and said,
I would like to do it.
1070
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,206
I think was partially a favor.
1071
00:53:29,249 --> 00:53:31,730
I had done her a
favor once before
1072
00:53:31,773 --> 00:53:33,210
and she really did
need the money.
1073
00:53:46,745 --> 00:53:50,923
May 27, 1949, she showed
up at the Kelley Studios.
1074
00:53:50,966 --> 00:53:55,275
She would only agree to take the
photos if his wife Natalie was
1075
00:53:55,319 --> 00:53:57,756
present during the photo shoot.
1076
00:53:57,799 --> 00:54:01,063
And so they laid out a red
velvet rug essentially.
1077
00:54:01,107 --> 00:54:04,023
Kelley spent about an hour
doing the photo shoot.
1078
00:54:04,066 --> 00:54:06,286
Marilyn received $50.
1079
00:54:06,330 --> 00:54:08,070
Tom Kelley received $500.
1080
00:54:08,114 --> 00:54:10,116
The calendar ultimately
sold 8 million
1081
00:54:10,159 --> 00:54:14,555
copies, which made it by far
the most popular calendar ever.
1082
00:54:14,599 --> 00:54:19,125
It made Marilyn the top
pinup girl in history,
1083
00:54:19,168 --> 00:54:20,300
really in terms of sales.
1084
00:54:20,344 --> 00:54:22,520
But Marilyn only got the $50.
1085
00:54:22,563 --> 00:54:24,609
But it became legendary.
1086
00:54:24,652 --> 00:54:27,438
It's the most famous
calendar shoot of all time.
1087
00:54:27,481 --> 00:54:29,918
And it's before
she was discovered.
1088
00:54:29,962 --> 00:54:33,008
Since it was illegal to send
pornography-- they called
1089
00:54:33,052 --> 00:54:36,055
pornography back in the
day for something like this,
1090
00:54:36,098 --> 00:54:38,275
it had a little
acetate over her.
1091
00:54:38,318 --> 00:54:39,667
It looked like she
was wearing negligee.
1092
00:54:39,711 --> 00:54:41,582
It would cover her up.
1093
00:54:41,626 --> 00:54:44,933
But then you could lift it up
and see she was nude beneath.
1094
00:54:44,977 --> 00:54:47,458
Now, everyone knew
Marilyn Monroe,
1095
00:54:47,501 --> 00:54:50,243
and not everyone approved.
1096
00:54:50,287 --> 00:54:53,246
She signed the release
form, Mona Monroe,
1097
00:54:53,290 --> 00:54:55,857
in a half-hearted attempt
to disguise who she was.
1098
00:54:55,901 --> 00:54:58,773
Folks started to recognize
the image on the calendar
1099
00:54:58,817 --> 00:55:00,819
because it was very popular.
1100
00:55:00,862 --> 00:55:03,038
Well the Golden Dreams
photos, those could
1101
00:55:03,082 --> 00:55:05,476
have completely ruined her.
1102
00:55:05,519 --> 00:55:08,305
She was in a relationship
with Joe DiMaggio.
1103
00:55:08,348 --> 00:55:10,959
She had "How to Marry a
Millionaire" and "Gentlemen
1104
00:55:11,003 --> 00:55:14,006
Prefer Blondes" coming
out, huge movies
1105
00:55:14,049 --> 00:55:17,618
and having these ancient
pictures resurfacing
1106
00:55:17,662 --> 00:55:19,707
was a publicist's nightmare.
1107
00:55:19,751 --> 00:55:21,361
While the calendar,
of course, dogged
1108
00:55:21,405 --> 00:55:23,798
her throughout her
career in different ways,
1109
00:55:23,842 --> 00:55:25,104
to do the nude scene.
1110
00:55:25,147 --> 00:55:27,715
But for her to admit it,
I thought it was smart.
1111
00:55:27,759 --> 00:55:30,283
That was way ahead
of the time when
1112
00:55:30,327 --> 00:55:33,504
publicists suggest, you come out
and be up front about things.
1113
00:55:33,547 --> 00:55:36,768
She turned it into the, I
needed the money, you know,
1114
00:55:36,811 --> 00:55:39,074
the desperate sort of
angle on the thing.
1115
00:55:39,118 --> 00:55:42,034
This was a time when
stars were being hidden,
1116
00:55:42,077 --> 00:55:45,298
their private life being hidden,
certain controversial things
1117
00:55:45,342 --> 00:55:47,605
they may have done in
their past being hidden.
1118
00:55:47,648 --> 00:55:49,911
They arranged a fake
marriage for Rock Hudson
1119
00:55:49,955 --> 00:55:52,827
in this period of time, because
they didn't want it revealed
1120
00:55:52,871 --> 00:55:54,786
that he was actually
gay and stuff
1121
00:55:54,829 --> 00:55:55,961
and that would hurt his image.
1122
00:55:56,004 --> 00:55:58,398
This calendar did
cause some problems
1123
00:55:58,442 --> 00:56:01,401
but ultimately though,
you know, the whole idea
1124
00:56:01,445 --> 00:56:04,796
of a nude Marilyn and all
of this led to Playboy
1125
00:56:04,839 --> 00:56:07,276
and that famous
Playboy cover and that
1126
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,629
really, not only enhanced
Marilyn Monroe's sex appeal,
1127
00:56:11,672 --> 00:56:13,848
I think, it made Playboy.
1128
00:56:13,892 --> 00:56:15,415
It made Hugh Hefner.
1129
00:56:15,459 --> 00:56:18,462
And then I learned from a
story in the local newspaper
1130
00:56:18,505 --> 00:56:22,596
that Marilyn Monroe had posed
for these nude calendar photos
1131
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:24,642
and people had heard
about the pictures,
1132
00:56:24,685 --> 00:56:27,340
but almost nobody had seen
them because the post office
1133
00:56:27,384 --> 00:56:28,776
took the position
that you could not
1134
00:56:28,820 --> 00:56:30,865
send nudity through the mail.
1135
00:56:30,909 --> 00:56:32,432
And I was the kid
who didn't believe
1136
00:56:32,476 --> 00:56:34,347
the post office had that right.
1137
00:56:34,391 --> 00:56:37,524
I learned simultaneously
that the calendar company,
1138
00:56:37,568 --> 00:56:41,267
John Baumgarth was located on
the northwest side of Chicago,
1139
00:56:41,310 --> 00:56:43,008
very close to where I grew up.
1140
00:56:43,051 --> 00:56:47,229
So I drove out to North Avenue
in my beat up 1940 Chevy
1141
00:56:47,273 --> 00:56:49,318
and convinced him that it
would be good publicity,
1142
00:56:49,362 --> 00:56:51,756
and he sold me the
rights to reproduce
1143
00:56:51,799 --> 00:56:54,062
the nude image for $500.
1144
00:56:54,106 --> 00:56:55,977
I got a very good bargain.
1145
00:56:56,021 --> 00:56:57,849
Did Marilyn put
Playboy on the map?
1146
00:56:57,892 --> 00:56:59,154
Yes I think so.
1147
00:56:59,198 --> 00:57:00,199
There is some question
as to whether I would
1148
00:57:00,242 --> 00:57:01,809
be sitting here
talking to you if it
1149
00:57:01,853 --> 00:57:03,332
was not for Marilyn Monroe.
1150
00:57:03,376 --> 00:57:06,945
That iconic image of Marilyn
and its effect on culture
1151
00:57:07,162 --> 00:57:08,729
has been enormous.
1152
00:57:08,773 --> 00:57:12,603
Some very popular examples would
be the famous Seward Johnson
1153
00:57:12,646 --> 00:57:15,606
bronze statue of the
scene in "Seven Year
1154
00:57:15,649 --> 00:57:18,957
Itch" with her dress blowing
up, the painting of Marilyn
1155
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:20,567
that Andy Warhol had done.
1156
00:57:20,611 --> 00:57:22,090
I don't think
Marilyn needed Andy
1157
00:57:22,134 --> 00:57:25,137
Warhol's help to
make her an icon,
1158
00:57:25,180 --> 00:57:27,748
but he certainly didn't hurt.
1159
00:57:27,792 --> 00:57:31,709
Of all Warhol's images
celebrating pop culture,
1160
00:57:31,752 --> 00:57:35,756
I think the one of Marilyn
is the Mona Lisa of our time.
1161
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,455
Marilyn certainly has
influenced musicians,
1162
00:57:38,498 --> 00:57:40,892
starting with probably Ray
Anthony when she was still
1163
00:57:40,935 --> 00:57:42,502
alive, where he wrote a song.
1164
00:57:42,546 --> 00:57:45,897
And then after her death, there
was a few people like Elton
1165
00:57:45,940 --> 00:57:48,813
John, probably is the very
first with "Candle in the Wind"
1166
00:57:48,856 --> 00:57:52,599
to write a song that
honored the late Marilyn.
1167
00:57:52,643 --> 00:57:55,254
And I have even heard there's
a British singer out there
1168
00:57:55,297 --> 00:57:59,214
recently, Maxi Wild, who's
written a song about Marilyn,
1169
00:57:59,258 --> 00:58:02,304
which shows that Marilyn's
influence is still very active
1170
00:58:02,348 --> 00:58:03,697
in this world.
1171
00:58:32,421 --> 00:58:36,034
In "Some Like It
Hot," she did the song,
1172
00:58:36,077 --> 00:58:38,558
"I Want To Be Loved By
You" in such a poignant
1173
00:58:38,602 --> 00:58:41,126
and almost heartbreaking way.
1174
00:58:41,169 --> 00:58:44,259
[SINGING] I want to
be loved by you, just
1175
00:58:44,303 --> 00:58:49,177
you and nobody else but you.
1176
00:58:49,221 --> 00:58:54,356
I want to be loved by you alone.
1177
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,141
Boop, boopy, do.
1178
00:58:56,184 --> 00:58:59,579
That probably is part of
the truth of Marilyn Monroe's
1179
00:58:59,623 --> 00:59:01,146
own life as she went on.
1180
00:59:01,189 --> 00:59:02,756
She just wanted to be loved.
1181
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:07,195
And it's ironic that
maybe she never quite was.
1182
00:59:07,239 --> 00:59:08,109
You fall for them.
1183
00:59:08,153 --> 00:59:09,328
You really love them.
1184
00:59:09,371 --> 00:59:10,677
You think this is
going to be the biggest
1185
00:59:10,721 --> 00:59:12,244
thing since the Graf Zeppelin.
1186
00:59:12,287 --> 00:59:14,725
The next thing you know, they're
borrowing money from you.
1187
00:59:14,768 --> 00:59:17,597
They're spending it on other
dames and betting on horses.
1188
00:59:17,641 --> 00:59:20,295
The making of "Some Like It
Hot" is legendary though.
1189
00:59:20,339 --> 00:59:23,342
She was never nominated
for an Academy Award,
1190
00:59:23,385 --> 00:59:26,432
but she did win a Golden
Globe for Best Actress
1191
00:59:26,475 --> 00:59:29,783
in a comedy that year of 1959.
1192
00:59:29,827 --> 00:59:32,003
So Chuck, you're the
proud creator of this mural
1193
00:59:32,046 --> 00:59:33,352
of Marilyn Monroe.
1194
00:59:33,395 --> 00:59:35,310
I've always had a
knack for portraiture
1195
00:59:35,354 --> 00:59:37,661
and getting right to
the soul of a person.
1196
00:59:37,704 --> 00:59:39,750
That's really what a
portrait is all about.
1197
00:59:39,793 --> 00:59:42,753
With Marilyn, to me it was easy.
1198
00:59:42,796 --> 00:59:46,713
The mural by the way, it starts
with Norma Jeane and the stars
1199
00:59:46,757 --> 00:59:51,718
coming out from the side of her
head represent her aspirations,
1200
00:59:51,762 --> 00:59:53,154
her dreams.
1201
00:59:53,198 --> 00:59:56,157
And those stars are carried
throughout the mural,
1202
00:59:56,201 --> 00:59:57,768
kind of interwoven.
1203
00:59:57,811 --> 01:00:00,684
And if you look at her eyes,
see they're young and vivacious.
1204
01:00:00,727 --> 01:00:03,382
Uh, huh.
1205
01:00:03,425 --> 01:00:06,254
This look here is
just wonderful, clean,
1206
01:00:06,298 --> 01:00:10,128
sexy, vibrant,
beautiful young woman
1207
01:00:10,171 --> 01:00:12,304
at the beginning of her career.
1208
01:00:12,347 --> 01:00:15,786
Then you see the eyes changing
as her career changes.
1209
01:00:15,829 --> 01:00:18,963
And about the time you
get to her last film,
1210
01:00:19,006 --> 01:00:22,227
"The Misfits," the
eyes become vacuous.
1211
01:00:22,270 --> 01:00:26,187
To me that's the story of
this particular piece of art.
1212
01:00:26,231 --> 01:00:28,537
It's the transition
over her career.
1213
01:00:29,538 --> 01:00:31,453
I don't feel that
way about you, Gay.
1214
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:38,939
Well now, don't get
discouraged, girl, you might.
1215
01:00:41,681 --> 01:00:45,119
So Arthur Miller wrote
the part for her, right?
1216
01:00:45,163 --> 01:00:45,946
Yes he did.
1217
01:00:45,990 --> 01:00:46,730
They were married then.
1218
01:00:46,773 --> 01:00:48,035
Absolutely.
1219
01:00:48,079 --> 01:00:50,081
I do know that by the
time that they started
1220
01:00:50,124 --> 01:00:52,605
shooting "The Misfits,"
their marriage
1221
01:00:52,649 --> 01:00:55,347
was pretty rocky at that point.
1222
01:00:55,390 --> 01:00:58,263
But I didn't know
that he was on J.
1223
01:00:58,306 --> 01:00:59,699
Edgar Hoover's watch list.
1224
01:00:59,743 --> 01:01:00,831
You know it's kind
of interesting.
1225
01:01:00,874 --> 01:01:02,136
It doesn't surprise me.
1226
01:01:02,180 --> 01:01:05,662
Her final completed
film, "The Misfits,"
1227
01:01:05,705 --> 01:01:07,838
is one of the most
fascinating aspects
1228
01:01:07,881 --> 01:01:09,317
of Marilyn Monroe's career.
1229
01:01:09,361 --> 01:01:11,668
You have Clark Gable,
as what turned out
1230
01:01:11,711 --> 01:01:14,583
to be the end of his
filmmaking career,
1231
01:01:14,627 --> 01:01:17,630
and you have Marilyn
Monroe at her most fragile.
1232
01:01:17,674 --> 01:01:20,067
The film had to be
shut down by director
1233
01:01:20,111 --> 01:01:23,854
John Huston for 10 days so
that she could be hospitalized.
1234
01:01:23,897 --> 01:01:26,770
She was taking barbiturates,
all kinds of things.
1235
01:01:26,813 --> 01:01:29,250
This was another movie that
we thought after
1236
01:01:29,294 --> 01:01:31,078
"Some Like It Hot," with all those
problems,
1237
01:01:31,122 --> 01:01:33,951
that she was not going to get through.
1238
01:01:33,994 --> 01:01:36,780
To make matters worse her four
year marriage to playwright
1239
01:01:36,823 --> 01:01:38,999
Arthur Miller had just
ended and the actress
1240
01:01:39,043 --> 01:01:42,002
was finding consolation
from a growing dependency
1241
01:01:42,046 --> 01:01:43,874
on pills and alcohol.
1242
01:01:43,917 --> 01:01:46,441
Well, a number of
years had passed.
1243
01:01:46,485 --> 01:01:49,183
She'd been through
the Hollywood mill.
1244
01:01:53,274 --> 01:01:59,628
A lot has been written
and said about this.
1245
01:01:59,672 --> 01:02:03,023
Perhaps the whole experience
was too much for her.
1246
01:02:03,067 --> 01:02:05,765
The pills became the
uppers and downers.
1247
01:02:05,809 --> 01:02:10,944
You know, she couldn't sleep
so you take more pills.
1248
01:02:10,988 --> 01:02:14,078
Now it's time to get up
and you've got to function,
1249
01:02:14,121 --> 01:02:17,124
so you gotta take some
pills to get over the pills
1250
01:02:17,168 --> 01:02:18,865
that you just took.
1251
01:02:18,909 --> 01:02:23,565
It's got to have a
devastating effect eventually.
1252
01:02:23,609 --> 01:02:25,306
She'd have to be
awakened in the morning
1253
01:02:25,350 --> 01:02:33,662
by another kind of
drug, a benzedrine.
1254
01:02:33,706 --> 01:02:37,797
It became obvious that there
was a problem because what
1255
01:02:37,841 --> 01:02:41,714
would happen is I would
hang around the hotel
1256
01:02:41,758 --> 01:02:44,978
after the crew had gone, because
we were about an hour out
1257
01:02:45,022 --> 01:02:47,111
to the desert where we worked.
1258
01:02:47,154 --> 01:02:49,417
We didn't have cell phones and
all that stuff in those days,
1259
01:02:49,461 --> 01:02:50,679
you know.
1260
01:02:50,723 --> 01:02:54,118
And so I would stay
until I knew that she
1261
01:02:54,161 --> 01:02:55,989
was ready to go to the set.
1262
01:02:56,033 --> 01:02:59,166
And the way I knew she
was ready was the makeup
1263
01:02:59,210 --> 01:03:01,386
and hair people would
come downstairs and say,
1264
01:03:01,429 --> 01:03:02,300
she's all set.
1265
01:03:02,343 --> 01:03:04,041
She's just gone to the bathroom.
1266
01:03:04,084 --> 01:03:05,259
And we're on our way.
1267
01:03:05,303 --> 01:03:07,174
I would say, great I
would get in the car
1268
01:03:07,218 --> 01:03:10,308
and I'd go on ahead
and go to the set.
1269
01:03:10,351 --> 01:03:14,225
She'll be here, just
a while, don't worry.
1270
01:03:14,268 --> 01:03:15,313
Doesn't show.
1271
01:03:15,356 --> 01:03:16,488
Doesn't show.
1272
01:03:16,531 --> 01:03:17,402
An hour goes by.
1273
01:03:17,445 --> 01:03:19,404
Two hours go by.
1274
01:03:19,447 --> 01:03:21,493
She's still in the bathroom.
1275
01:03:21,536 --> 01:03:24,844
So you know, pretty soon,
this gets to be old.
1276
01:03:24,888 --> 01:03:27,716
Every day this happens.
1277
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:29,762
There would be fewer
and fewer hours a day
1278
01:03:29,806 --> 01:03:31,329
when we can work with her.
1279
01:03:31,372 --> 01:03:35,289
And it got to the extent
where it was decided she should
1280
01:03:35,333 --> 01:03:40,338
go to Los Angeles and spend
a week to get sorted out,
1281
01:03:40,381 --> 01:03:41,513
get over this.
1282
01:03:41,556 --> 01:03:43,950
There was talk
about replacing her
1283
01:03:43,994 --> 01:03:48,868
and Clark took me
aside and said, Doc,
1284
01:03:48,912 --> 01:03:52,176
you can pass the word.
1285
01:03:53,177 --> 01:03:57,877
They're not going to put
anybody else in her place.
1286
01:03:57,921 --> 01:04:01,881
We will wait til
she's able to work.
1287
01:04:01,925 --> 01:04:06,233
Because I'm not continuing
the film with somebody else.
1288
01:04:06,277 --> 01:04:14,851
This wasn't her fault. She
made every desperate effort
1289
01:04:14,894 --> 01:04:25,035
to-- so far as the picture
was concerned and she herself
1290
01:04:25,078 --> 01:04:29,822
but one finally had the
feeling that she was doomed.
1291
01:04:29,866 --> 01:04:33,347
She was splendid in the
picture, by the way,
1292
01:04:33,391 --> 01:04:39,397
this extraordinary quality that
she had, this kind of genius.
1293
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:41,312
I don't mean just an
extravagant talent,
1294
01:04:41,355 --> 01:04:44,750
but something strange
and unpredictable
1295
01:04:44,793 --> 01:04:46,360
would come out of her.
1296
01:04:46,404 --> 01:04:49,711
I had the impression that she
believed what was happening,
1297
01:04:49,755 --> 01:04:51,888
that it wasn't a role
that she was playing,
1298
01:04:51,931 --> 01:04:54,368
that she actually believed it.
1299
01:04:54,412 --> 01:04:57,894
People called it a cursed film
because all of its key stars
1300
01:04:57,937 --> 01:05:00,287
had tragic ends
shortly thereafter.
1301
01:05:00,331 --> 01:05:03,943
Clark Gable actually died
10 days after finishing
1302
01:05:03,987 --> 01:05:05,945
production of the film.
1303
01:05:05,989 --> 01:05:08,469
He had a massive heart
attack, just boom.
1304
01:05:08,513 --> 01:05:12,865
So Montgomery Clift died not
long after, Thelma Ritter.
1305
01:05:12,909 --> 01:05:15,476
In fact, for the longest
time Eli Wallach,
1306
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,957
who recently passed
away now, was
1307
01:05:18,001 --> 01:05:20,525
the only star, the
only principal, that
1308
01:05:20,568 --> 01:05:22,831
was still alive on this movie.
1309
01:05:22,875 --> 01:05:24,224
So was it cursed?
1310
01:05:24,268 --> 01:05:27,488
Just the thought of
someone as powerful as her,
1311
01:05:27,532 --> 01:05:33,973
as beautiful as her, and to
see her struggling mentally,
1312
01:05:34,017 --> 01:05:37,063
and struggling with the idea
that she didn't think she
1313
01:05:37,107 --> 01:05:40,284
was as good as she was,
or was as deserving.
1314
01:05:40,327 --> 01:05:42,286
She was always seeking.
1315
01:05:42,329 --> 01:05:45,767
That's just sad, where she
couldn't really truly be happy.
1316
01:05:45,811 --> 01:05:48,379
Yes, well it was very sad.
1317
01:05:48,422 --> 01:05:51,382
They were not treating her right.
1318
01:05:51,425 --> 01:05:57,954
The studio just used her
and used her until-- I mean,
1319
01:05:57,997 --> 01:06:01,000
it's an old story,
you know, all the way
1320
01:06:01,044 --> 01:06:02,959
back through Hollywood history.
1321
01:06:03,002 --> 01:06:06,527
But she wasn't grossly depressed
and going through that kind
1322
01:06:06,571 --> 01:06:08,616
of a thing, exactly.
1323
01:06:08,660 --> 01:06:11,576
No, Marilyn didn't
intend to kill herself.
1324
01:06:11,619 --> 01:06:14,535
Marilyn's become
a myth, a goddess,
1325
01:06:14,579 --> 01:06:16,276
an almost unreal creature.
1326
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,452
And I think there's a
lot of reasons for that.
1327
01:06:18,496 --> 01:06:20,628
Partly I think it's
due to the fact
1328
01:06:20,672 --> 01:06:24,937
that she represents an era
that does not exist anymore.
1329
01:06:24,981 --> 01:06:27,418
Although the '50s
is clearly a time
1330
01:06:27,461 --> 01:06:29,115
of very real
political repression
1331
01:06:29,159 --> 01:06:31,030
and social and
sexual repression,
1332
01:06:31,074 --> 01:06:34,338
you can see those early
signs of changing values.
1333
01:06:34,381 --> 01:06:36,775
And Monroe was
clearly part of that.
1334
01:06:36,818 --> 01:06:39,082
She is buried at
Westwood Cemetery.
1335
01:06:39,125 --> 01:06:44,087
I will be buried as well in the
vault immediately next to hers.
1336
01:06:44,130 --> 01:06:47,916
I feel such a kinship and
close connection for all
1337
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:51,529
that she's meant to all of
us, but most especially to me.
1338
01:06:51,572 --> 01:06:54,793
The fact that I will be residing
through eternity next to her
1339
01:06:54,836 --> 01:06:55,402
seemed very appropriate.
1340
01:06:56,708 --> 01:06:59,406
In '93, they wanted
to reopen her case
1341
01:06:59,450 --> 01:07:01,495
and Milo was really
pushing hard for it.
1342
01:07:01,539 --> 01:07:04,150
He believed the CIA
had her murdered.
1343
01:07:04,194 --> 01:07:07,023
Milo Speriglio is
a private investigator
1344
01:07:07,066 --> 01:07:10,722
who has written two books on
the death of Marilyn Monroe.
1345
01:07:10,765 --> 01:07:14,378
He makes a stunning
speculation, that Marilyn Monroe
1346
01:07:14,421 --> 01:07:16,989
was the victim of
a contract killing.
1347
01:07:17,033 --> 01:07:19,078
It was agreed that
the city council of LA
1348
01:07:19,122 --> 01:07:21,385
would reopen the case.
1349
01:07:21,428 --> 01:07:24,344
And I believe that was in 1993.
1350
01:07:24,388 --> 01:07:28,435
And they had decided that
there was probable cause
1351
01:07:28,479 --> 01:07:31,308
to look into her case again.
1352
01:07:31,351 --> 01:07:35,181
The foreman in charge was
to make an announcement
1353
01:07:35,225 --> 01:07:37,923
regarding this new inquiry.
1354
01:07:37,966 --> 01:07:43,407
The very next day he
is fired from his job
1355
01:07:43,450 --> 01:07:51,284
and the grand jury that was
to be assembled was not to be.
1356
01:07:51,328 --> 01:07:54,287
When they kept a
lid on this in 1993
1357
01:07:54,331 --> 01:07:57,421
and killed the grand jury that
was going to look into it,
1358
01:07:57,464 --> 01:07:59,423
something was stopping
this investigation.
1359
01:08:02,339 --> 01:08:05,777
The truth about her
death was apparently
1360
01:08:05,820 --> 01:08:08,780
still a national security risk.
1361
01:08:08,823 --> 01:08:12,740
We learned why when
documents later emerged,
1362
01:08:12,784 --> 01:08:15,917
including the fact that
she had been wiretapped.
1363
01:08:15,961 --> 01:08:19,791
America's sex symbol,
a security threat?
1364
01:08:19,834 --> 01:08:21,053
Yes.
1365
01:08:21,097 --> 01:08:22,272
And I'm afraid it's
not fanciful, because--
1366
01:08:22,315 --> 01:08:24,056
It was anything but.
1367
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:29,148
Here you had a woman
who is close to both
1368
01:08:29,192 --> 01:08:31,585
the President of
the United States
1369
01:08:31,629 --> 01:08:33,196
and to the Attorney General.
1370
01:08:33,239 --> 01:08:36,068
It became apparent
that JFK had been
1371
01:08:36,112 --> 01:08:39,506
telling the Marilyn
national security
1372
01:08:39,550 --> 01:08:42,161
secrets of serious importance.
1373
01:08:42,205 --> 01:08:46,165
For example, there was a
short memo to J. Edgar Hoover
1374
01:08:46,209 --> 01:08:51,170
from an agent explicitly saying
that Marilyn Monroe had asked
1375
01:08:51,214 --> 01:08:55,392
the president about the
results of a recent hydrogen
1376
01:08:55,435 --> 01:08:57,742
bomb test in Nevada.
1377
01:08:57,785 --> 01:08:59,178
This was at the height
of the Cold War.
1378
01:08:59,222 --> 01:09:00,005
Red flag.
1379
01:09:00,048 --> 01:09:01,528
Red flag.
1380
01:09:01,572 --> 01:09:06,751
Now Fred Otash, who was the
investigator of the stars,
1381
01:09:06,794 --> 01:09:10,015
admitted he had
tapped her phone.
1382
01:09:10,058 --> 01:09:12,757
I know the FBI had
tapped her phone.
1383
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:17,153
I think wiretapping,
indiscriminate wiretapping
1384
01:09:17,196 --> 01:09:18,589
is very dirty business.
1385
01:09:18,632 --> 01:09:20,591
And I couldn't
agree more strongly.
1386
01:09:20,634 --> 01:09:25,117
I think that penalties should
be increased for those who
1387
01:09:25,161 --> 01:09:28,076
use wiretapping
without the control
1388
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,818
of some law enforcement agency.
1389
01:09:30,862 --> 01:09:34,735
Marilyn was threatening,
according to these wiretaps,
1390
01:09:34,779 --> 01:09:36,737
was threatening to go
public with the way
1391
01:09:36,781 --> 01:09:39,392
the Kennedys had treated her.
1392
01:09:39,436 --> 01:09:44,180
And she was perfectly
capable of going to them.
1393
01:09:44,223 --> 01:09:46,530
She would have gotten a lot of
attention, going to the press.
1394
01:09:46,573 --> 01:09:50,186
I think, what we
know as the '60s,
1395
01:09:50,229 --> 01:09:53,363
started with the death
of Marilyn Monroe.
1396
01:09:53,406 --> 01:09:57,410
And the circumstances around
it started this cascade
1397
01:09:57,454 --> 01:10:00,500
of conspiracies, murders.
1398
01:10:00,544 --> 01:10:03,111
When Marilyn died,
which was unresolved as
1399
01:10:03,155 --> 01:10:06,419
to who killed her, was she
killed, the whole thing.
1400
01:10:06,463 --> 01:10:08,943
Next, very shortly
after was JFK.
1401
01:10:08,987 --> 01:10:13,600
We have a parade
of strange deaths.
1402
01:10:13,644 --> 01:10:16,037
The whole thing starts
with Marilyn Monroe.
1403
01:10:16,081 --> 01:10:19,302
And that's why I was
searching through documents,
1404
01:10:19,345 --> 01:10:21,042
Freedom of Information
documents on Marilyn.
1405
01:10:21,086 --> 01:10:23,654
I never expected
to find this memo.
1406
01:10:23,697 --> 01:10:25,699
Kennedy's preoccupation
had been to destroy
1407
01:10:25,743 --> 01:10:29,007
the power of organized
crime in America, the mob.
1408
01:10:29,050 --> 01:10:31,531
There's a lot of strange
things in this saga.
1409
01:10:31,575 --> 01:10:34,926
And one of them
is the following.
1410
01:10:34,969 --> 01:10:38,277
There's no question the mob
helped JFK win the presidency.
1411
01:10:38,321 --> 01:10:39,060
We know.
1412
01:10:39,104 --> 01:10:40,714
It's been documented.
1413
01:10:40,758 --> 01:10:43,804
Joseph Kennedy knew them, and
they really helped in Illinois.
1414
01:10:43,848 --> 01:10:48,287
What's strange is
then, JFK and Bobby,
1415
01:10:48,331 --> 01:10:51,638
he authorizes Robert
Kennedy to go after the mob.
1416
01:10:51,682 --> 01:10:54,162
Well, the mob would be
going, and they did,
1417
01:10:54,206 --> 01:10:55,381
what the hell is this all about?
1418
01:10:55,425 --> 01:10:57,992
We helped the guy get
into the presidency
1419
01:10:58,036 --> 01:11:00,299
and now they're coming after us.
1420
01:11:00,343 --> 01:11:03,041
Well this had a lot
of ramifications.
1421
01:11:03,084 --> 01:11:06,610
And a lot of people believe
even one of the ripple effects
1422
01:11:06,653 --> 01:11:09,134
was the assassination
of JFK himself.
1423
01:11:09,177 --> 01:11:11,789
It's a dangerous game
Bobby's been playing,
1424
01:11:11,832 --> 01:11:14,748
going after powerful
gangsters, while his family has
1425
01:11:14,792 --> 01:11:17,447
its own tangled
relationship with them.
1426
01:11:17,490 --> 01:11:21,059
From his father's bootlegging
days to JFK's relationship
1427
01:11:21,102 --> 01:11:22,582
with a godfather's girlfriend.
1428
01:11:22,626 --> 01:11:24,541
Can you refresh
your recollection
1429
01:11:24,584 --> 01:11:26,064
at all of your history--
1430
01:11:26,107 --> 01:11:28,240
The Administration's crusade
against the mob back home,
1431
01:11:28,284 --> 01:11:31,809
is a slap in the
face, a betrayal.
1432
01:11:31,852 --> 01:11:33,289
It's the final straw.
1433
01:11:33,332 --> 01:11:37,554
In fact this is why Sam
Giancana's brother and nephew
1434
01:11:37,597 --> 01:11:41,340
called their book "Double
Cross" because certainly
1435
01:11:41,384 --> 01:11:44,212
from their point of view,
they were double crossed.
1436
01:11:44,256 --> 01:11:46,476
Robert Kennedy was chief
counsel on the McClellan
1437
01:11:46,519 --> 01:11:48,042
Committee, which
in the late '50s,
1438
01:11:48,086 --> 01:11:52,264
interrogated labor leaders
like Jimmy Hoffa and mobsters
1439
01:11:52,308 --> 01:11:53,134
like Sam Giancana.
1440
01:12:13,372 --> 01:12:16,288
When you are dealing
with organized crime
1441
01:12:16,332 --> 01:12:18,508
and big time gangsters
and hoodlums as,
1442
01:12:18,551 --> 01:12:21,337
we have to deal with them
in the days of Al Capone.
1443
01:12:21,380 --> 01:12:22,990
Tell us about your
vice operations
1444
01:12:23,034 --> 01:12:25,123
down in Lake County, Indiana.
1445
01:12:25,166 --> 01:12:26,864
Decline to answer
because I honestly believe
1446
01:12:26,907 --> 01:12:28,344
my answer might incriminate me.
1447
01:12:28,387 --> 01:12:31,782
Would you tell us if you
have opposition from anybody
1448
01:12:31,825 --> 01:12:33,436
that you dispose
of them by having
1449
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:36,221
them stuffed in a trunk, is
that what you do, Mr. Giancana?
1450
01:12:36,264 --> 01:12:40,399
It is believed that Chicago mob
boss Sam Giancana, was linked
1451
01:12:40,443 --> 01:12:43,402
to JFK, that not only did
he help Kennedy secure
1452
01:12:43,446 --> 01:12:45,883
the State of Illinois
to win the presidency,
1453
01:12:45,926 --> 01:12:48,799
but it's also believe that
he was recruited by the CIA
1454
01:12:48,842 --> 01:12:50,583
during the Kennedy
administration
1455
01:12:50,627 --> 01:12:54,065
to help assassinate Cuban
dictator, Fidel Castro.
1456
01:12:54,108 --> 01:12:55,675
Some have suggested
that the mobster
1457
01:12:55,719 --> 01:12:59,331
may have been recruited to help
assassinate Marilyn as well.
1458
01:12:59,375 --> 01:13:01,420
Marilyn Monroe certainly had
links through Frank Sinatra.
1459
01:13:01,464 --> 01:13:04,467
And she knew the likes
of some Sam Giancana.
1460
01:13:04,510 --> 01:13:07,295
I always had a
question about her death
1461
01:13:07,339 --> 01:13:11,691
because it was a perfect
storm of people who
1462
01:13:11,735 --> 01:13:13,432
would benefit from her death.
1463
01:13:13,476 --> 01:13:14,955
There was no one
there to protect her.
1464
01:13:41,504 --> 01:13:43,767
You can't be the head
of the Teamsters Union
1465
01:13:43,810 --> 01:13:46,247
unless you're
approved by the mob.
1466
01:13:46,291 --> 01:13:49,860
It's a whole, big, black circle.
1467
01:13:49,903 --> 01:13:53,037
Hoffa wanted to
neutralize Kennedy.
1468
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,343
He had a vendetta for him.
1469
01:13:55,387 --> 01:13:57,041
Kennedy had a
vendetta for Hoffa.
1470
01:13:57,084 --> 01:13:58,521
One of the most
important things
1471
01:13:58,564 --> 01:14:02,438
is to understand the role
of the mob wire tappers.
1472
01:14:02,481 --> 01:14:05,223
Reportedly they
bugged Marilyn's house
1473
01:14:05,266 --> 01:14:08,531
when she went on her
notorious trip to Mexico.
1474
01:14:08,574 --> 01:14:11,664
Here we have the actual
wire tapper for the mob,
1475
01:14:11,708 --> 01:14:15,755
confessing in detail
what he was doing.
1476
01:14:15,799 --> 01:14:21,108
What Hoffa wanted was me
to assist Bernie Spindel
1477
01:14:21,152 --> 01:14:24,024
in developing a
derogatory profile of Jack
1478
01:14:24,068 --> 01:14:26,157
and Bobby Kennedy and
their relationships
1479
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:27,288
with Marilyn Monroe.
1480
01:14:27,332 --> 01:14:29,552
Peter Lawford's
palatial beachfront home
1481
01:14:29,595 --> 01:14:32,555
was the scene of many parties
attended by the Kennedys
1482
01:14:32,598 --> 01:14:34,165
and Marilyn Monroe.
1483
01:14:34,208 --> 01:14:36,428
Lawford didn't know
his house was bugged.
1484
01:14:36,472 --> 01:14:39,170
Fred Otash tells
us exactly where
1485
01:14:39,213 --> 01:14:40,606
those microphones were hidden.
1486
01:14:40,650 --> 01:14:43,304
They were placed under carpets.
1487
01:14:43,348 --> 01:14:45,916
They were placed
in the chandeliers
1488
01:14:45,959 --> 01:14:48,222
and in ceiling fixtures.
1489
01:14:48,266 --> 01:14:52,052
You have to look for the logical
place, to place the equipment.
1490
01:14:52,096 --> 01:14:56,317
You have to gain entry also,
by either picking the lock
1491
01:14:56,361 --> 01:14:59,669
or making some
other kind of entry.
1492
01:14:59,712 --> 01:15:01,671
As far as the wiretap
was concerned,
1493
01:15:01,714 --> 01:15:04,978
that's not something that the
Secret Service in that date
1494
01:15:05,022 --> 01:15:06,763
and time could pick up.
1495
01:15:06,806 --> 01:15:09,200
Because you could
wire a telephone
1496
01:15:09,243 --> 01:15:11,071
five miles from the locaiton.
1497
01:15:11,115 --> 01:15:12,725
You didn't have
to be right there.
1498
01:15:12,769 --> 01:15:14,466
Otash tells us
that Peter Lawford
1499
01:15:14,510 --> 01:15:17,774
came to him in desperation
the night Marilyn died.
1500
01:15:17,817 --> 01:15:20,516
He wanted help purging the
house of any evidence that could
1501
01:15:20,559 --> 01:15:22,474
be damaging to the Kennedys.
1502
01:15:22,518 --> 01:15:26,609
Lawford showed up,
completely disoriented
1503
01:15:26,652 --> 01:15:29,481
and in a state of shock.
1504
01:15:29,525 --> 01:15:31,701
One, saying that
Marilyn Monroe was dead,
1505
01:15:31,744 --> 01:15:35,095
that Bobby Kennedy was there,
that he was spirited out
1506
01:15:35,139 --> 01:15:40,666
of town, by some airplane
back up north, that they got
1507
01:15:40,710 --> 01:15:46,454
in a big fight that evening,
and that he'd like to have me
1508
01:15:46,498 --> 01:15:52,678
make arrangements to have
someone go out to the house
1509
01:15:52,722 --> 01:15:56,029
and pick up any and all
information that was possible
1510
01:15:56,073 --> 01:15:58,597
regarding any involvement
between Marilyn
1511
01:15:58,641 --> 01:16:00,120
Monroe and the Kennedys.
1512
01:16:00,164 --> 01:16:02,993
After Marilyn died, the new
owners remodeled the house
1513
01:16:03,036 --> 01:16:05,343
and discovered extensive
evidence of
1514
01:16:05,386 --> 01:16:06,823
wiretapping and bugging.
1515
01:16:06,866 --> 01:16:09,434
"The New York Times"
reported that authorities
1516
01:16:09,477 --> 01:16:13,307
seized the wiretap recordings
made by Bernard Spindel.
1517
01:16:13,351 --> 01:16:15,614
Spindel sued to
get the tapes back
1518
01:16:15,658 --> 01:16:18,182
and his lawsuit filing
stated the tapes
1519
01:16:18,225 --> 01:16:21,707
would contradict the official
story of Marilyn's death.
1520
01:16:21,751 --> 01:16:24,710
Some skeptics claim those
tapes never really existed.
1521
01:16:24,754 --> 01:16:27,495
Why then file a law
suit to get them back?
1522
01:16:27,539 --> 01:16:30,629
A book review segment on
"Entertainment Tonight"
1523
01:16:30,673 --> 01:16:32,718
provided a great breakthrough.
1524
01:16:32,762 --> 01:16:35,025
The book was written
by two relatives
1525
01:16:35,068 --> 01:16:38,637
of mob boss Sam Giancana,
his brother and his nephew.
1526
01:16:38,681 --> 01:16:44,077
For the first time, the world
was told Sam Giancana's role
1527
01:16:44,121 --> 01:16:48,865
in the murder of Marilyn Monroe
and the CIA's role in it.
1528
01:16:48,908 --> 01:16:51,519
Watch Giancana's
nephew's face and listen
1529
01:16:51,563 --> 01:16:53,130
carefully to what he says.
1530
01:16:53,173 --> 01:16:55,480
The untimely death of
actress Marilyn Monroe
1531
01:16:55,523 --> 01:16:57,917
almost 30 years
ago was officially
1532
01:16:57,961 --> 01:17:00,006
pronounced a probable suicide.
1533
01:17:00,050 --> 01:17:03,662
But an explosive biography of
underworld kingpin Sam Giancana
1534
01:17:03,706 --> 01:17:05,664
claims the mob boss
murdered Monroe
1535
01:17:05,708 --> 01:17:07,666
at the request of the CIA.
1536
01:17:07,710 --> 01:17:10,626
Today's inside story relates
another explosive chapter from
1537
01:17:10,669 --> 01:17:14,717
the new book, "Double Cross."
1538
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:16,675
Blonde bombshell
Marilyn Monroe's death
1539
01:17:16,719 --> 01:17:19,156
in 1962 of an overdose
of barbiturates
1540
01:17:19,199 --> 01:17:21,245
was ruled a probable suicide.
1541
01:17:21,288 --> 01:17:23,464
Now the shocking claim has
come out that her death was
1542
01:17:23,508 --> 01:17:25,684
a mob hit ordered by the CIA.
1543
01:17:25,728 --> 01:17:28,513
In the book, "Double Cross," the
story of Chicago gangster Sam
1544
01:17:28,556 --> 01:17:31,255
"Mooney" Giancana, written by
his brother, Chuck, and godson,
1545
01:17:31,298 --> 01:17:34,606
Sam, Marilyn Monroe is depicted
as having scandalous affairs
1546
01:17:34,650 --> 01:17:37,957
with John and Robert Kennedy
and having access to information
1547
01:17:38,001 --> 01:17:39,480
damaging to the CIA.
1548
01:17:39,524 --> 01:17:41,613
Giancana's
relationship to the CIA
1549
01:17:41,657 --> 01:17:45,443
goes back to 1960 when they
asked him to kill Fidel Castro.
1550
01:17:45,486 --> 01:17:48,925
According to the book, Giancana
had men try to poison Castro.
1551
01:17:48,968 --> 01:17:51,144
But the Cuban leader had
all his food and drinks
1552
01:17:51,188 --> 01:17:52,929
sampled by political prisoners.
1553
01:17:52,972 --> 01:17:55,148
Even though those attempts
were unsuccessful,
1554
01:17:55,192 --> 01:17:57,455
the book claims the
mobster's ties to the CIA
1555
01:17:57,498 --> 01:18:01,067
continued to grow and the CIA
called him in to kill Monroe.
1556
01:18:01,111 --> 01:18:02,939
According to nephew,
Sam Giancana,
1557
01:18:02,982 --> 01:18:06,464
the mob and the government both
had Monroe under surveillance.
1558
01:18:06,507 --> 01:18:09,728
Everyone was watching her
because she was perhaps
1559
01:18:09,772 --> 01:18:12,252
a loaded gun waiting to go off.
1560
01:18:12,296 --> 01:18:14,820
Well once she decided that
she was going to go public,
1561
01:18:14,864 --> 01:18:19,956
the CIA said, we cannot
have her do that.
1562
01:18:19,999 --> 01:18:25,222
And the CIA then requested that
Marilyn Monroe be eliminated.
1563
01:18:25,265 --> 01:18:28,834
And Sam Giancana
accepted the contract
1564
01:18:28,878 --> 01:18:30,357
to kill Marilyn Monroe.
1565
01:18:30,401 --> 01:18:33,621
What gives this credibility
is that it's a confession
1566
01:18:33,665 --> 01:18:37,625
conveyed by a family member
with regret and shame.
1567
01:18:37,669 --> 01:18:40,846
It's entirely consistent
with the CIA report
1568
01:18:40,890 --> 01:18:42,761
that we'll learn about shortly.
1569
01:18:42,805 --> 01:18:44,415
At the same time,
Giancana hoped
1570
01:18:44,458 --> 01:18:45,938
to embarrass
Monroe's lover Bobby
1571
01:18:45,982 --> 01:18:47,592
Kennedy the attorney
general who was
1572
01:18:47,635 --> 01:18:49,637
hounding Giancana and the mob.
1573
01:18:49,681 --> 01:18:52,858
Giancana states that he sent
his assassins to Monroe's house.
1574
01:18:52,902 --> 01:18:57,515
They taped her mouth and
inserted a doctored Nembutal
1575
01:18:57,558 --> 01:18:58,385
suppository.
1576
01:18:58,429 --> 01:18:59,865
The dose was lethal.
1577
01:18:59,909 --> 01:19:03,477
A suppository was very
fast-acting like an injection.
1578
01:19:03,521 --> 01:19:09,309
There was no traces of
that sedative suppository,
1579
01:19:09,353 --> 01:19:14,662
so it was a well-designed method
of killing Marilyn Monroe.
1580
01:19:14,706 --> 01:19:17,187
The book claims that Giancana
did get evidence of Bobby
1581
01:19:17,230 --> 01:19:19,755
Kennedy coming to Monroe's
house before the murder,
1582
01:19:19,798 --> 01:19:21,626
but that the whole
conspiracy was covered up
1583
01:19:21,669 --> 01:19:23,584
by the government so
quickly that his scheme
1584
01:19:23,628 --> 01:19:25,282
to embarrass Kennedy failed.
1585
01:19:25,325 --> 01:19:27,980
This is also consistent with
what we learned from police
1586
01:19:28,024 --> 01:19:31,462
chief Tom Reddin, remember?
1587
01:19:31,505 --> 01:19:36,641
They treated it as a 100%
intelligence operation
1588
01:19:36,684 --> 01:19:39,426
and those operations
are highly secret.
1589
01:19:39,470 --> 01:19:41,864
And frankly, what do you
think the national security
1590
01:19:41,907 --> 01:19:43,604
consideration was?
1591
01:19:43,648 --> 01:19:45,171
I don't see any.
1592
01:19:45,215 --> 01:19:47,957
The UFOs and the Murder of
Marilyn Monroe... fascinating!
1593
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:51,525
I've certainly read
accounts of Marilyn
1594
01:19:51,569 --> 01:19:57,662
saying that JFK had told her
information about aliens, UFOs,
1595
01:19:57,705 --> 01:20:01,840
and I think Dorothy Kilgallen
was involved in this.
1596
01:20:01,884 --> 01:20:06,018
The Project Moondust, hm.
1597
01:20:06,062 --> 01:20:09,892
Marilyn Monroe, third
of August, 1962.
1598
01:20:09,935 --> 01:20:10,849
When did she die?
1599
01:20:10,893 --> 01:20:11,719
The fourth.
1600
01:20:11,763 --> 01:20:12,851
Jesus.
1601
01:20:12,895 --> 01:20:13,678
OK.
1602
01:20:17,943 --> 01:20:20,728
Central Intelligence Agency.
1603
01:20:20,772 --> 01:20:22,165
I don't see a signature.
1604
01:20:22,208 --> 01:20:23,949
Yes, I do.
1605
01:20:23,993 --> 01:20:24,820
James Angleton.
1606
01:20:28,258 --> 01:20:29,912
James Angleton.
1607
01:20:29,955 --> 01:20:33,785
James Angleton was the head of
the CIA's counterintelligence
1608
01:20:33,829 --> 01:20:35,091
for decades.
1609
01:20:35,134 --> 01:20:38,877
He knew so much that no
CIA boss or president
1610
01:20:38,921 --> 01:20:40,139
could get rid of him.
1611
01:20:40,183 --> 01:20:43,055
His lethal career is
brilliantly described
1612
01:20:43,099 --> 01:20:47,451
in the book called "Cold Warrior."
The Wilderness Of Mirrors.
1613
01:20:47,494 --> 01:20:50,671
James Angleton had
that incredible phrase,
1614
01:20:50,715 --> 01:20:55,024
and that phrase comes to mind
when we talk about Marilyn.
1615
01:20:55,067 --> 01:20:59,506
What the document says is
striking in the extreme.
1616
01:20:59,550 --> 01:21:01,726
But it was a former
CIA archivist
1617
01:21:01,769 --> 01:21:04,207
apparently who passed it along.
1618
01:21:04,250 --> 01:21:05,861
Keep in mind the
document apparently was
1619
01:21:05,904 --> 01:21:07,906
never properly declassified.
1620
01:21:07,950 --> 01:21:10,300
The classification
marks on the document
1621
01:21:10,343 --> 01:21:13,433
were never marked out
in the customary way.
1622
01:21:13,477 --> 01:21:16,872
And so I kind of have the
feeling this document was sort
1623
01:21:16,915 --> 01:21:20,179
of liberated, if I
might put it that way,
1624
01:21:20,223 --> 01:21:22,921
without maybe going
through official channels.
1625
01:21:22,965 --> 01:21:27,099
I think the reason people avoid
actually engaging with it so
1626
01:21:27,143 --> 01:21:30,842
much is that it's about UFOs.
1627
01:21:30,886 --> 01:21:34,150
And I think a lot of people
feel that their reputations are
1628
01:21:34,193 --> 01:21:39,068
going to be compromised or
something if they have too much
1629
01:21:39,111 --> 01:21:41,113
to do with that whole subject.
1630
01:21:41,157 --> 01:21:47,250
When Jose Belanos was interviewed
by Anthony Summers in 1983,
1631
01:21:47,293 --> 01:21:49,600
and that was 21 years
after Marilyn's death,
1632
01:21:49,643 --> 01:21:51,210
and he was kind of
a boyfriend of hers.
1633
01:21:51,254 --> 01:21:54,910
In fact they went to the Golden
Globes award in March of '62,
1634
01:21:54,953 --> 01:21:56,999
just a few months
before she died.
1635
01:21:57,042 --> 01:22:00,611
In the Belanos interview,
he says Marilyn told me
1636
01:22:00,654 --> 01:22:03,179
something shocking,
something that will
1637
01:22:03,222 --> 01:22:05,833
one day shock the whole world.
1638
01:22:05,877 --> 01:22:09,141
Now by 1983, pretty
much most of the things
1639
01:22:09,185 --> 01:22:13,276
that Marilyn could
have been privy to,
1640
01:22:13,319 --> 01:22:16,670
like plans to assassinate
Castro and so forth,
1641
01:22:16,714 --> 01:22:18,629
were already declassified by then.
1642
01:22:18,672 --> 01:22:21,458
You have to ask yourself well,
what could she have known
1643
01:22:21,501 --> 01:22:25,462
about that would be also
maybe suggested by the CIA
1644
01:22:25,505 --> 01:22:29,031
memo that was still
classified in 1983
1645
01:22:29,074 --> 01:22:30,989
and in fact is still classified?
1646
01:22:31,033 --> 01:22:34,253
Now according to
Belano's testimony,
1647
01:22:34,297 --> 01:22:36,690
he was the last person
to speak to her.
1648
01:22:36,734 --> 01:22:37,517
Yeah.
1649
01:22:37,561 --> 01:22:40,129
He called her about 10:00.
1650
01:22:40,172 --> 01:22:42,435
And they talked a little
bit and apparently she
1651
01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:44,829
told them this amazing thing.
1652
01:22:44,872 --> 01:22:46,265
There was some kind of
commotion at the door
1653
01:22:46,309 --> 01:22:47,658
that he could hear on the phone.
1654
01:22:47,701 --> 01:22:49,051
And she said something
like, well, just a minute.
1655
01:22:49,094 --> 01:22:51,227
Let me go see what's
going on out here.
1656
01:22:51,270 --> 01:22:53,011
And she just put the
phone down and went away
1657
01:22:53,055 --> 01:22:54,578
and never came back.
1658
01:22:54,621 --> 01:22:57,494
And later somebody just hung
the phone up without anybody
1659
01:22:57,537 --> 01:22:58,799
saying anything.
1660
01:22:58,843 --> 01:22:59,931
And that's the last time
he ever heard her voice.
1661
01:22:59,975 --> 01:23:01,628
The murder theory
is laid out here
1662
01:23:01,672 --> 01:23:04,414
in its most radical version
by a former secret agent,
1663
01:23:04,457 --> 01:23:06,285
working for the LAPD.
1664
01:23:06,329 --> 01:23:08,157
I gathered some
intelligence reports
1665
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:10,289
from the Central
Intelligence Agency
1666
01:23:10,333 --> 01:23:13,814
and some other intelligence
agencies and to my surprise
1667
01:23:13,858 --> 01:23:17,035
when I was reading it, here I'd
found an intelligence document
1668
01:23:17,079 --> 01:23:20,430
written by the CIA
regarding this conversation
1669
01:23:20,473 --> 01:23:22,910
President Kennedy had
with Marilyn Monroe.
1670
01:23:22,954 --> 01:23:25,783
And at that time, along with
other documents I obtained,
1671
01:23:25,826 --> 01:23:27,567
I realized that this
was confirmation
1672
01:23:27,611 --> 01:23:31,180
that he was, in fact, telling
her the truth about this event.
1673
01:23:31,223 --> 01:23:34,922
And when I realized
that, I was shocked.
1674
01:23:34,966 --> 01:23:39,362
And it actually made me
nervous, because it's
1675
01:23:39,405 --> 01:23:41,407
such a phenomenal
event, it would
1676
01:23:41,451 --> 01:23:43,061
literally change the world.
1677
01:23:43,105 --> 01:23:49,154
What was the top secret event
that JFK told Marilyn about?
1678
01:23:49,198 --> 01:23:52,201
This really implies
something devastating.
1679
01:23:52,244 --> 01:23:54,768
It implies that the
Roswell incident,
1680
01:23:54,812 --> 01:23:58,772
the UFO crash, the famous
legendary crash occurred.
1681
01:23:58,816 --> 01:24:01,210
And JFK is telling
Marilyn Monroe about it.
1682
01:24:01,253 --> 01:24:04,256
The CIA's bugging this
conversation and freaking out.
1683
01:24:04,300 --> 01:24:06,650
Did this really happen?
1684
01:24:06,693 --> 01:24:10,219
Well, certainly the newspapers
of the day said it did.
1685
01:24:10,262 --> 01:24:14,527
And TV reports even now
still report this as fact.
1686
01:24:14,571 --> 01:24:17,835
Speriglio's document claims
Marilyn's wiretap recorded her
1687
01:24:17,878 --> 01:24:20,011
describing the visit
by the president
1688
01:24:20,055 --> 01:24:22,492
to a secret airbase for
the purpose of inspecting
1689
01:24:22,535 --> 01:24:24,929
things from outer space.
1690
01:24:24,972 --> 01:24:27,845
A reference to New Mexico
in the late 1940s points
1691
01:24:27,888 --> 01:24:30,282
straight to the
Roswell incident.
1692
01:24:30,326 --> 01:24:32,154
This document was
written and presumably
1693
01:24:32,197 --> 01:24:37,507
distributed on August 3, 1962.
1694
01:24:37,550 --> 01:24:38,421
We're back.
1695
01:24:38,464 --> 01:24:39,813
Manny Pacquiao's on the way.
1696
01:24:39,857 --> 01:24:41,380
President Bill Clinton
is here with us.
1697
01:24:41,424 --> 01:24:46,559
So, if I was president, and
I won't be, let's be honest,
1698
01:24:46,603 --> 01:24:50,172
the first thing I would do after
putting my hand on that Bible
1699
01:24:50,215 --> 01:24:52,609
and taking that oath
to serve the country,
1700
01:24:52,652 --> 01:24:54,959
is-- I wouldn't even
probably finish the oath.
1701
01:24:55,002 --> 01:24:57,353
I would run to the White House.
1702
01:24:57,396 --> 01:25:02,967
I'd demand to see all the
classified files on the UFOs
1703
01:25:03,010 --> 01:25:04,186
because I want to know.
1704
01:25:04,229 --> 01:25:06,144
I'd want to know what
has been going on.
1705
01:25:06,188 --> 01:25:07,711
Did you do that?
1706
01:25:07,754 --> 01:25:09,104
Sort of.
1707
01:25:09,147 --> 01:25:11,323
It's remarkable that
twice within one year,
1708
01:25:11,367 --> 01:25:14,065
US presidents have appeared
on "The Jimmy Kimmel Show"
1709
01:25:14,109 --> 01:25:15,936
to be asked about UFOs.
1710
01:25:15,980 --> 01:25:17,721
You'll see that
the show use canned
1711
01:25:17,764 --> 01:25:21,159
laughter to make the question
seem silly and ludicrous.
1712
01:25:21,203 --> 01:25:23,814
That's a frequently used
device to belittle something
1713
01:25:23,857 --> 01:25:25,729
that is really very serious.
1714
01:25:25,772 --> 01:25:28,862
We know that there are
billions of stars and planets
1715
01:25:28,906 --> 01:25:30,299
literally out there.
1716
01:25:30,342 --> 01:25:33,606
It makes it increasingly
less likely that we're alone.
1717
01:25:33,650 --> 01:25:36,914
Oh, you're trying to give me
a hint that there are aliens.
1718
01:25:36,957 --> 01:25:39,264
If we were visited someday,
I wouldn't be surprised.
1719
01:25:39,308 --> 01:25:44,269
I just hope that it's not
like "Independence Day."
1720
01:25:44,313 --> 01:25:46,271
Watch how Bill Clinton
answers the question,
1721
01:25:46,315 --> 01:25:50,188
an answer partially lifted
from a Reagan speech at the UN.
1722
01:25:50,232 --> 01:25:52,930
Think of how all the
differences among people
1723
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,888
on earth would seem
small if we felt
1724
01:25:54,932 --> 01:25:57,021
threatened by a space invader.
1725
01:25:57,064 --> 01:25:58,805
That's the whole theory
of "Independence Day."
1726
01:25:58,849 --> 01:26:00,111
You're right.
1727
01:26:00,155 --> 01:26:03,288
I occasionally think how
quickly our differences
1728
01:26:03,332 --> 01:26:08,554
worldwide would vanish if we
were facing an alien threat
1729
01:26:08,598 --> 01:26:12,602
from outside this world.
1730
01:26:12,645 --> 01:26:14,647
My hand would
just-- it would still
1731
01:26:14,691 --> 01:26:16,519
be hot from touching the Bible.
1732
01:26:16,562 --> 01:26:22,264
And I would immediately race
to wherever they have the files
1733
01:26:22,307 --> 01:26:25,005
about Area 51 and UFOs.
1734
01:26:25,049 --> 01:26:27,138
And I'd go through everything
to find out what happened.
1735
01:26:27,182 --> 01:26:27,921
Right.
1736
01:26:27,965 --> 01:26:29,184
Did you do that?
1737
01:26:29,227 --> 01:26:30,924
Aliens won't let it happen.
1738
01:26:30,968 --> 01:26:34,972
We'll reveal all their secrets.
1739
01:26:35,015 --> 01:26:36,930
They exercise strict
control over us.
1740
01:26:36,974 --> 01:26:38,758
Now you know, there are a
lot of people that are going
1741
01:26:38,802 --> 01:26:42,153
to examine you facial
expressions here,
1742
01:26:42,197 --> 01:26:44,373
every twitch,
everything, and say,
1743
01:26:44,416 --> 01:26:45,852
and of course, so did you look?
1744
01:26:45,896 --> 01:26:46,679
Did you see?
1745
01:26:46,723 --> 01:26:48,899
Did you explore.
1746
01:26:48,942 --> 01:26:50,248
I can't reveal anything.
1747
01:26:50,292 --> 01:26:51,989
Oh, really?
1748
01:26:52,032 --> 01:26:54,470
Notice how uncomfortable
Barack Obama is.
1749
01:26:54,513 --> 01:26:58,038
First he starts turning
it into a joke one thinks,
1750
01:26:58,082 --> 01:27:00,476
but then he stutters
four times and actually
1751
01:27:00,519 --> 01:27:03,435
says that there are things about
this that he cannot reveal.
1752
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:04,697
The chief thing
that happened was,
1753
01:27:04,741 --> 01:27:06,177
I ended up getting
the CIA document
1754
01:27:06,221 --> 01:27:09,006
authenticated by the
CIA itself in effect.
1755
01:27:09,049 --> 01:27:13,576
Because what I did was I turned
in two Freedom of Information
1756
01:27:13,619 --> 01:27:16,100
Act requests, one for
the wiretap transcripts
1757
01:27:16,143 --> 01:27:18,233
at Marilyn's house.
1758
01:27:18,276 --> 01:27:22,237
They said that they had done due
diligence and they had searched
1759
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:24,761
and they hadn't found anything
in response to my requests
1760
01:27:24,804 --> 01:27:26,241
and so forth.
1761
01:27:26,284 --> 01:27:30,593
But if you want to file an
appeal, then by all means
1762
01:27:30,636 --> 01:27:32,159
feel free.
1763
01:27:32,203 --> 01:27:33,726
You have to do within a certain
number of days and so on.
1764
01:27:33,770 --> 01:27:34,510
So I did.
1765
01:27:34,553 --> 01:27:35,946
I filed the appeal.
1766
01:27:35,989 --> 01:27:40,167
The important thing is,
they accepted the appeal.
1767
01:27:40,211 --> 01:27:42,605
Now, the CIA doesn't
accept an appeal
1768
01:27:42,648 --> 01:27:47,000
if it's based on a document that
they don't regard as authentic.
1769
01:27:47,044 --> 01:27:52,310
I believe that when they
knew Marilyn was going to give
1770
01:27:52,354 --> 01:27:56,140
a press conference that
she planned to give
1771
01:27:56,183 --> 01:27:59,404
and stated that
the president had
1772
01:27:59,448 --> 01:28:03,060
told her about this classified
program and gave her details.
1773
01:28:03,103 --> 01:28:07,760
And this is like Edward
Snowden going public himself
1774
01:28:07,804 --> 01:28:10,285
and dumping all this
stuff on the internet.
1775
01:28:10,328 --> 01:28:12,112
This is what Marilyn is doing.
1776
01:28:12,156 --> 01:28:15,115
She said, hell, both
these men used me
1777
01:28:15,159 --> 01:28:17,683
and I'm going to bring
Jack and Bobby down.
1778
01:28:17,727 --> 01:28:22,819
Now, somebody on the other
end of that line, or somebody
1779
01:28:22,862 --> 01:28:24,908
heard her say that.
1780
01:28:24,951 --> 01:28:27,302
Probably gets back
Jim Angleton.
1781
01:28:27,345 --> 01:28:29,565
OK, there's no debate here.
1782
01:28:29,608 --> 01:28:31,741
This girl is going to
create a lot of problems
1783
01:28:31,784 --> 01:28:36,572
for us, because if it comes
out that we took her out,
1784
01:28:36,615 --> 01:28:38,661
they're going to ask questions.
1785
01:28:38,704 --> 01:28:41,359
How many other
people were murdered?
1786
01:28:41,403 --> 01:28:44,841
How many other people
has counter-intelligence
1787
01:28:44,884 --> 01:28:45,624
neutralized?
1788
01:28:45,668 --> 01:28:46,843
How many?
1789
01:28:46,886 --> 01:28:49,019
All it takes is just
one little leak and
1790
01:28:49,062 --> 01:28:50,716
the whole dam is going to bust.
1791
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:54,241
I think she would have
opened the flood gate.
1792
01:28:54,285 --> 01:28:57,201
That's my heartfelt belief.
1793
01:28:57,244 --> 01:28:59,899
That she would have said
things that would have
1794
01:28:59,943 --> 01:29:03,599
resonated with people, not
just then, but decades later.
1795
01:29:03,642 --> 01:29:06,166
And it's tragic.
1796
01:29:06,210 --> 01:29:11,258
It makes me sad that she
had to learn certain things
1797
01:29:11,302 --> 01:29:13,696
that she was not entitled to.
1798
01:29:13,739 --> 01:29:15,132
She didn't have
to know all this.
1799
01:29:15,175 --> 01:29:18,570
And knowing the Kennedys,
well at least Jack,
1800
01:29:18,614 --> 01:29:20,355
he compromised himself.
1801
01:29:20,398 --> 01:29:23,923
And the fact that the
death happened hours
1802
01:29:23,967 --> 01:29:27,187
after Bobby Kennedy was there, I
mean, how could they have known
1803
01:29:27,231 --> 01:29:28,537
to coordinate in terms of that?
1804
01:29:28,580 --> 01:29:30,408
Because Bobby was being watched.
1805
01:29:30,452 --> 01:29:32,323
They had a tail on him.
1806
01:29:32,367 --> 01:29:36,893
Bobby was set up, perfect
set up for blackmail.
1807
01:29:36,936 --> 01:29:39,330
After Sam Giancana
died, his family
1808
01:29:39,374 --> 01:29:43,769
made a DVD video, a
film explaining what
1809
01:29:43,813 --> 01:29:48,078
Giancana's strategy was
in the events surrounding
1810
01:29:48,121 --> 01:29:49,601
Marilyn Monroe's death.
1811
01:29:49,645 --> 01:29:53,083
Sam's plan, according
to his brother's report,
1812
01:29:53,126 --> 01:29:56,608
was to murder Monroe,
make it look like suicide.
1813
01:29:56,652 --> 01:30:00,917
Then have the police find the
letters from Bobby Kennedy.
1814
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:04,007
The Kennedys would be disgraced
and removed from office.
1815
01:30:04,050 --> 01:30:06,444
Sam opened the papers
expecting to see Bobby
1816
01:30:06,488 --> 01:30:08,925
Kennedy blamed for the suicide.
1817
01:30:08,968 --> 01:30:11,231
But Bobby's name
wasn't mentioned.
1818
01:30:11,275 --> 01:30:13,320
The Secret Service
had gotten there first
1819
01:30:13,364 --> 01:30:16,367
and swept the incriminating
letters from the death scene.
1820
01:30:16,411 --> 01:30:17,934
There's been a
lot of speculation
1821
01:30:17,977 --> 01:30:22,634
that perhaps Bobby Kennedy
wanted her killed or his hand
1822
01:30:22,678 --> 01:30:24,244
helped kill her and so forth.
1823
01:30:24,288 --> 01:30:26,899
But that's not the case.
1824
01:30:26,943 --> 01:30:31,991
Mooney seized this opportunity
to try to entrap Bobby Kennedy
1825
01:30:32,035 --> 01:30:34,472
in the death of Marilyn Monroe.
1826
01:30:34,516 --> 01:30:40,783
The Outfit could have taken any
time they wanted to literally
1827
01:30:40,826 --> 01:30:42,219
kill Marilyn Monroe.
1828
01:30:42,262 --> 01:30:44,961
They selected a time
precisely on the heels of when
1829
01:30:45,004 --> 01:30:46,179
Bobby Kennedy was there.
1830
01:30:46,223 --> 01:30:48,355
Remember when,
whenever there's a hit,
1831
01:30:48,399 --> 01:30:50,270
you've got to have security.
1832
01:30:50,314 --> 01:30:53,230
You gotta have people
that come and clean up.
1833
01:30:53,273 --> 01:30:55,319
You've got to have
people handle the press.
1834
01:30:55,362 --> 01:30:58,278
You gotta have people
to handle the police.
1835
01:30:58,322 --> 01:31:00,280
I mean, this is
national security.
1836
01:31:00,324 --> 01:31:02,195
And we're not
talking about rubbing
1837
01:31:02,239 --> 01:31:06,112
out some nobody in Hollywood.
1838
01:31:06,156 --> 01:31:07,462
I mean, she's an icon.
1839
01:31:11,378 --> 01:31:19,082
I am convinced that Jim
Angleton had her murdered.
1840
01:31:19,125 --> 01:31:22,607
There, I said it.
1841
01:31:22,651 --> 01:31:24,957
I do not hesitate at
all to call this what
1842
01:31:25,001 --> 01:31:28,483
it simply is, it is a murder.
1843
01:31:28,526 --> 01:31:33,139
And I do not hesitate at
all to further go and say
1844
01:31:33,183 --> 01:31:36,578
that a conspiracy existed
between the police department,
1845
01:31:36,621 --> 01:31:40,451
between the coroner's office,
and between the LA county
1846
01:31:40,495 --> 01:31:43,715
District Attorney's office
to conceal this murder
1847
01:31:43,759 --> 01:31:45,717
and pass it off as a suicide.
1848
01:31:45,761 --> 01:31:48,328
The Giancanas say this is one
of the saddest stories they've
1849
01:31:48,372 --> 01:31:50,113
uncovered in their
research, because Monroe
1850
01:31:50,156 --> 01:31:53,246
was merely an unwitting
political and sexual toy.
1851
01:31:53,290 --> 01:31:57,555
She became the
quintessential victim.
1852
01:31:57,599 --> 01:32:02,560
And as many tragedies as we
discuss in "Double Cross,"
1853
01:32:02,604 --> 01:32:05,041
I think she is probably
the most tragic situation.
1854
01:32:05,084 --> 01:32:07,696
You know, we can't bring her
back but we can remedy some
1855
01:32:07,739 --> 01:32:09,611
of what's been done to her memory.
1856
01:32:09,654 --> 01:32:13,049
It's a national disgrace
what was done to her.
1857
01:32:29,935 --> 01:32:37,116
