Today, I finally finished the book, “The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe” by Donald H. Wolfe. Yes, I know, my Marilyn obsession continues. I also know that there are way too many biographies published about M.M. but most of them aren’t true and accurate. This one is. While this book here is a biography, it does talk about her childhood, all the way up to her death, this book mostly focuses on her death. It mostly focuses on what happened before she died, hence the title.

This book did a good job on proving that Marilyn’s death could have been a possible homicide or murder. The facts were backed up and researched pretty carefully. The writer did his homework for sure. Some may think that Marilyn had a good life, but she did not. She had a difficult life before her death. Her death has always been mysterious, and I’ve always believed Bobby Kennedy had killed her in some way. There is no way to prove that he did it now ’cause he is dead too obviously. A lot of people like to believe that the Kennedy’s were good politicians and good people, but they weren’t. Both Jack and Bobby Kennedy were assholes. They were the ones who shut Marilyn out of their lives shortly after she sang “Happy Birthday” to Jack at MSG.

Her death has always been looked at as a suicide for years, but it couldn’t have been. She was going to finish “Something’s Got to Give” and she was going to work on another musical film with Frank Sinatra after, a film that never got made. I enjoy reading about Marilyn and her history. I enjoy watching her films, and her story and life, is just inspiring to me. She was never considered a train wreck. She was no Anna Nicole back in those days. Marilyn has always been likeable to everyone. She never wanted to be looked at as a sex symbol. Marilyn was an entertainer who had a lot of personal problems.

Even though Marilyn is gone, I already feel like I know her, which what makes her pretty powerful. It almost makes me wish I was around when she was alive. This is a very good book and it’s recommended reading. Probably the best Marilyn biography out there, and this is the only one I’ve read. It’s a pretty new book too. Just came out earlier this year.
