Even after her death, she is still talked about. Almost 60 years after his death, Marilyn Monroe remains a real enigma to solve. Moreover, this April 27, fans of the icon will be able to learn more about the Hollywood star. Director Emma Cooper has just unveiled her documentary on the star on the Netflix streaming platform. In The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: Untold Conversationsintriguing new details of his death, which occurred on the night of August 4-5, 1962, have come to light.
For this documentary, innovative techniques were used. Actors practice lip synchronization to bring life to interviews given in the best-selling New York Times, The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe. This long report seems to start from the idea that the singer did kill herself at her home in Los Angeles, by ingesting a large quantity of barbiturates. However, as the documentary unfolds, several facts show that the death of Marilyn Monroe took place several hours before the time which appears on the official report of her death. Why keep this evidence secret?
To understand what happened, you have to go back a few years. The love life of Marilyn Monroe has been the subject of several rumors, including an affair with the President of the United States at the time, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, but also with her brother, Robert Kennedy.. A private detective, who confirmed having put the house and the telephones of a friend of the Kennedys, comes to confirm these suppositions. A few hours before her death, Robert Kennedy, then Attorney General of the United States, made a phone call to Marilyn Monroe. “Don’t bother me, leave me alone, don’t interfere in my life. I feel like I’m being turned around, used, like a piece of meat,” had launched the actress.
Dead of despair?
Considered too much “leftist” by the advisers of the two politicians, then in the process of managing the Cuban missile crisis, they would have asked the Kennedy brothers not to date Marilyn Monroe anymore. Sad and filled with despair, the icon would have decided to put an end to his days. Arthur James, a former friend of the star confirms this in the documentary. “That’s what killed her, I don’t care what people say.” The time change on Marilyn Monroe’s death notice would have allowed Robert Kennedy’s teams to remove all evidence of a certain link between the politician and the actress.
