Marilyn Monroe: Who could she have bothered?
Assistant coroner John Miner tried to reopen the investigation after 20 years. In vain.
Death of the platinum blonde beauty
Los Angeles was sweltering on August 4, 1962, with temperatures over 30°C (86°F). The legendary diva and idol of many men’s hearts, Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962), had a free day. Her housekeeper Eunice Murray (1902–1994) was in the middle of housework. The blonde beauty didn’t feel well and stayed at home. In the evening, she considered attending a party hosted by Peter Lawford (1923–1984), brother-in-law of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917–1963). But she felt too weak, too exhausted. She didn’t feel like going.
Marilyn had fallen in love with Kennedy, the young president whom all of America adored. But she also wanted to win back her place at his side. Desperate, she dialed the number of her good friend, actress Jeanne Carmen (1930–2007). She had always been able to cry on her shoulder. This time too, she wanted to unburden herself over the phone.
The voices of children playing outside made it clear that she was often the only one who stayed home alone in the evenings. Once again, she clutched the telephone receiver. This time, however, she dialed her psychiatrist Ralph Greenson (1911–1979).
The mystery of the century
The moonlit doctor lived in Brentwood, on the outskirts of Los Angeles, not far from 12305 Fifth Helena Drive, where his patient resided. Greenson tried to calm Marilyn down, but in vain. “I’ll come to you,” he promised. When he arrived, he did not leave the desperate woman alone. That night, she would not let go of the phone.
As the hours passed, Marilyn’s voice faded. Around 11:30 p.m., the line went dead. The doctor rushed back to her. When he arrived, Marilyn was lying motionless in bed. He tried to convince the housekeeper to call for medical help, but she didn’t dare. So he himself called another of his clients, a local police officer. He tried to shake Marilyn awake, even to slap her lightly. In vain. He broke the glass of the French doors and opened the door. Marilyn was already holding the telephone receiver in her hand, covered by a sheet.
Her face was buried in the pillow. The door was locked from the inside, and on the nightstand was a display of empty pill bottles. That’s how they found her. To this day, many questions about the last night of the blonde sex symbol remain unanswered.
The role of housekeeper Eunice Murray in Marilyn’s death is one of the greatest mysteries.
Was it suicide? An accident? Or perhaps even murder? Who might have had an interest in removing the goddess Marilyn?
