What Happened To Marilyn Monroe's Life

Me: He is right, there was a big sign that said to stay out. Marilyn should have kept to herself, or at least ask if she could go on to see her brother.

Kennedy, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy became the wife to the son of one of the most important American families. Soon after, John, who was also known as Jack, became America’s thirty-fifth President, and Jackie became his first lady. Jacqueline proved to be a valuable asset in John’s political journey. While John ran for president, many of his family members realized how important Jackie was in John’s candidacy. Kenneth O’Donnel explained, “When Jackie was traveling with us, the size of the crowd at every stop was twice as big as it would have been if Jack was alone” (Spoto 131).

He looked confused and puzzled. On the way to the hospital she kept looking down saying, “Jack. Jack. Jack. Can you hear me? Jack, I love you.” When they got to Parkland hospital, Jackie was still in a state of shock. Jackie refused to leave the operating room and sat next to Jack the whole time. The doctors didn’t give Jackie hope. There was nothing they could do. Jackie was devastated and couldn’t believe what the doctors were telling her. The first lady held his hand as she realized that this was the last time she would see her husband alive. In tears, she placed her ring on his finger. At 1:33 p.m. central time the president, John F. Kennedy, was announced dead. When the doctors told Jackie the news she was speechless. She was unable to speak and simply mouthed the words “I know”. She leaned in and kissed her husbands feet to his lips. At 2:20 p.m. the president’s hearse arrived at Air Force One with the 1st lady sitting next to it. She was shocked and fearful of the future. At 2:47 Air Force One leaves Dallas. Jacqueline makes funeral plans and Lyndon B. Johnson prepares to be the next president. Lady Bird Johnson suggested to Jackie that she take off her blood stained

Kennedy was a good man, and a good president. But his affairs with multiple women, including the famous Marilyn Monroe, only give evidence to the theory that he was a man almost entirely ruled by his overly functioning sex drive. I personally believe that Kennedy was a weak man for succumbing to his libido to the extent that it could possibly have become a national security. I think it was despicable of him to have slept with Monroe, as damaged as the woman was. But despite my opinions on his affairs and his marital status, I can acknowledge that John F. Kennedy did a splendid job at being president of the United

She was also often anxious and had moderate colds and coughs. Marilyn Monroe spent the majority of her early years living in a fictional world she created as an escape from reality. She sometimes told the other children in her orphanage eccentric tales about her having loving parents who had just went on a trip. Monroe would create fake postcards, she would sign from her parents to go along with her story (Spoto, 1993, p. 47). She had also managed to convince herself that Clark Gable was her father, although it was not a possibility (Spoto, 1993, p. 45; 54). After growing up in orphanages, Marilyn realized the only way to be released from the foster system was to get married. Marilyn Monroe decided to drop out of high school and marry her boyfriend at the time. Her first husband was a merchant marine by the name James Dougherty (Hendrickson, 2000). Dougherty was much older than Monroe who was then only sixteen years old. Although like the marriages to her other two husbands, Joe DeMaggio and Arthur Miller did not last for various reasons.

The Kennedy family had many connections to the mafia. Giancana explained the laughter from his testimony afterward. He said, “Sitting there, I couldn’t help but laugh...I was thinking about a night with his brother at the Cal-Neva. It was all so funny...I couldn’t help it. What a bunch of fucking hypocrites.” Giancana was alleging that JFK slept with Marilyn Monroe at the Cal-Neva Lodge in Tahoe, NV, a mob infested nightclub owned by Frank Sinatra. JFK’s presidential campaign in 1960 benefitted from the help of the mafia. It’s well documented that Sam Giancana funneled massive campaign contributions to JFK along with gathering the vote of the unions. Giancana also claimed to have bribed many law enforcement and local officials to help JFK win

At first Janet did not know that her husband was still playing his role as a ladies’ man but when she found out she immediately demanded Jack’s fidelity. Jack didn’t know the meaning of the word. Several months after Jackie’s 7th birthday in 1936, her parents separated. When their separation agreement ran out six months later, the Bouviers gave the marriage another try. It lasted for five months. Then at the end of august 1937, Jack and Janet separated permanently, although they did not get divorced until 1940. (Guthrie)

Moreover, it seems that all of the male protagonists are having affairs. Quotes such as John Kennedy explaining to a friend that he needed sex at least once a day or he would suffer headaches, and Lyndon Johnson is as sexually active as the president but more secretive in his exploits help enable this belief (O'Reilly and Dugard, 2012, p.37 and 150). Knowing that Martin Luther King Jr. had sex with prostitutes, hangers-ons, and other men's wives is not of importance to understanding how and why the thirty-fifth president was assassinated. The galling fact is that the civil rights leader does not even deny the allegations of cheating to his friends. I know it is being used to show that some of history's most powerful and influential men are also susceptible to very human desires. In my earlier experience, this technique has been used in various novels and movies to show that all people can succumb to the most natural of human emotions: lust, envy, and hate. This is, also, true for the rivalry between Lyndon Baines Johnson, the former Vice-President, and Robert Francis Kennedy, John Kennedy's brother and former Attorney General. Both men want to be president and each hates the other's guts. The conflict is baseless, considering the fact that John Kennedy is shot and killed which leads Johnson to becoming the nation's thirty-sixth president of the United

After college, Jackie took a job as “inquiring photographer” for a local Washington D.C. newspaper. While working for the newspaper, she met Senator John F. Kennedy and married him several years later, in 1953. Two years later, in 1955, Jackie became pregnant, but after three months, miscarried the child; one year later, Jackie gave birth to

In a terrible turn of circumstances on the early morning of August 5, 1962, 36-year-old Marilyn died in her sleep at her Brentwood, California home with the phone attached to her hand. Rumors speculate of an overdose or intentionally killing herself. There was also speculation and gossip of having an affair with John F Kennedy and that she was about to go public with what she knew about JFK and Bobbi Kennedy. Also that she was murdered by 'government agents' to safeguard the president. Another conspiracy incident was that Marilyn was killed by the mafia as punishment to the Kennedy's for their attacks on them, and to expose Kennedy's many love affairs. Now with all the aspects of her death, Marilyn had plans to work on new movies and a possible

It was not worded out to the public but almost everyone knew for certain that Marilyn had affairs with both John and Robert Kennedy. Apparently Robert Kennedy told Marilyn that he would never marry her this brought deep depression into Marilyn’s life which lead to her threatening to come out with the affairs with him and his brother which she had kept track in a diary. The Kennedy’s repeatedly demanded Marilyn to live them alone and give in her diary which Marilyn denied to do. Robert felt dethroned and anguished so he told Greenson who apparently also had an affair with Marilyn that she was going to tell the public about their affair as well. Greenson didn’t want his reputation to fade so he agreed to help Robert. Then moments later the pair who was accompanied by two body guards and Peter Lawford barged into Marilyn’s house. Marilyn was unable to defend herself since one of the guards had injected nembutal to calm her down this however made her collapse on the floor. One bodyguard tore her clothes then injected an enema to stage out a suicide. While the other men scattered across her house in order to find her diary. Later on Eunice had found Marilyn’s dead

Only 17 days after her famous “Happy Birthday” performance for John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe was found dead at her home from an overdose of sleeping pills. She was only 36 years old. There is a lot of speculation surrounding the events of her death. Some people think it was a suicide, others prefer not to believe that. There were even conspiracy theories that were triggered by alleged affairs with both John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.

As Monroe’s career drug on she lit up every screen that she was on, becoming one of the most famous actresses of her time. She had over thirty well known movies and was continuing to work on more serious roles. In the 40’s 50’s and 60’s women were just stepping out into the business world, going from house wife to working girl. It was the time in which beauty couldn’t have brains in the media’s eyes. Marilyn was put into the stereotypical box of beauty without brains because of all the flirtatious dumb blonde roles that she had played. Though through the later years of her life she was trying to claw her way out of that box because nobody took her seriously. She had said she would never regret the roles she had taken because they got her to the high point in her life that she was at. She had commented, “In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are. Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty.”

The media today is much different compared to the media in 1962, because it is more shrewd and meddlesome. Seeing that this photo of JFK and Monroe together was published in 2004, I think that it’s safe to say that the shock of the world from an innocent picture resembles the effect of today’s media. The entire “affair” would be blown out of proportion, and Kennedy would be shamed for simply being pictured with the beautiful, young actress. Without the presence of more evidence than a mere photo of the two, we cannot be sure that this affair even happened, but taking into consideration the motives of today’s media, both celebrities’ statuses would be ruined permanently at the slight speculation of an affair. You could compare this scandalous event in history to the cheating scandal of Gary Hart at the time of the 1988 presidential election. As a potential candidate in the election, Hart was a previous U.S. Senator and a democratic representative in the 1984 presidential election. Though Ronald Reagan defeated him, he overcame adversity and decided to run for the 1988 election. In late December of 1986, a private investigator allegedly followed Hart to a woman’s home (later identified as Donna Rice Hughes’s estate) and was photographed with her. Immediately, pictures were leaked to the media and published in magazines and reported all over the news. Leaving Americans shocked, Hart had no other option than to suspend his

Jackie seemed to be the only character in the story that was not blinded by his ignorance. Sure Jackie was very hesitant about confession, but he didn't' know any better. Jackie was a very honest and loyal man. "Nora, my sister, just sucked up to the old woman for the penny she got every Friday out of the old-age pension, a thing I could not do. I was too honest, that was my trouble" (331). He didn't want to harm anyone, and was truly good at heart. His grandmother was a horrible person, and treated Jackie horribly. Jackie did not seek any sort of revenge; he didn't want to associate with people like his grandmother or Nora. "You never saw such an
