This explosive new special report — just published in a special edition magazine by the National Enquirer — blows the lid off the evil web of lies that have surrounded the deaths of Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana for decades.

Both were MURDERED – and The ENQUIRER has uncovered top-secret official documents, diaries and tapes that tell you why!

MONROE’S LITTLE RED BOOK: SHE WROTE IT ALL DOWN: Mobsters, gay trysts & orgies with the Kennedy’s

Some experts on the screen siren’s life and death have suggested [Chicago Mob Boss Sam] Giancana — or even FBI director J. Edgar Hoover — wanted Monroe’s ledger to gain political influence. They’ve suggested that shadowy power players snatched the journal after Monroe’s death or even killed her for it!

Certainly, the Kennedy clan had the most to lose if Marilyn opened her mouth. Both JFK and Bobby Kennedy were bedding the blonde bombshell and were to officials in the U.S. government.

While JFK was said to be very careful about engaging in pillow talk with his bedmates, Monroe did manage to pick up tidbits of political gossip and inside information, the friend added.

The president’s curvy mistress found most of the talk “boring” but did write down his snappy comments about other world leaders, which would have proved very embarrassing if made public.

“Marilyn told me her diary was her closest friend and constant companion,” her pal said. “She’d write in her book every day – and sometimes more than once. She’d leave it lying around her house like it was nothing.”

Another friend JEANNE CARMEN, revealed she witnessed RFK waiting for the superstar to get dressed when he “saw a little red book on the coffee table, looked through it and seemed to get upset.”

Says Carmen, “When Marilyn came out of her room he asked, “What’s this?” She said, “That’s my diary.” And he said “Get rid of it!”

And yet another pal said said the actress told him the diary was her “insurance policy.”

Investigators claim desperate Monroe tried to play her trump card when Bobby threatened to break off their affair a few weeks before she died. She told him she’d tell-all at a press conference – and back it up by producing her diary, which also noted times and places of ALL her romantic rendezvous.

================================
From Brandon James’ author bio at Amazon.com: “Brandon James is a graduate of the world famous USC School of Cinema Television. He has written for magazines such as Femme Fatales, Collecting Hollywood, Classic Images and The Dark Side. He also worked as a consultant on E! Entertainment Television’s TV biography Jeanne Carmen: Queen of the B-Movies fir their award-winning series The E! True Hollywood Story. In addition, Brandon has recently finished a screenplay based on Jeanne Carmen’s amazing life story. Brandon James grew up in Newport Beach, California…

Tim P. received the following much-appreciated message from Brandon via IM on Facebook on April 13, 2014

Hi Tim,

I just received my copy of Monster #2 with THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS on the cover. Great Article!!! Jeanne Carmen was my Mom, so I have a special connection to TMOPB. I am always amazed at how much attention this film still gets and how many people know of it, especially considering the fact that I never saw the film or was even sure it really existed until I got of college and tracked it down. LOL

Anway, great job with the article and bringing all the collateral interest up to date by mentioning the ANGRY SAMOANS’ album and the FLIPPER episode and even the recent homage THE REDEMPTION OF THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS, and even mentioning the book I wrote about my Mom, JEANNE CARMEN: MY WILD WILD LIFE AS A NEW YORK PIN UP QUEEN, TRICK SHOT GOLFER and HOLLYWOOD ACTRESS.

However, there is another piece of recent news on TMOPB i think you would like to know about. Last year, around Halloween a new commercial was released for American Standard Heating and Air that featured a clip of my Mom in THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS within the commercial. The spot is still on the air in select markets across the country. It turned out really good. Here is the YouTube link:

Anyway, thought I would drop you a line and let you know how much I enjoyed the magazine.

I can’t believe TMOPB has never officialy been released on DVD. If you look at eBay, there are bootleg DVD’s of the film that sell almost every day.

Feel free to contact me if you ever need any photos or info on my Mom!

cheers,
BRANDON JAMES

THE MOMSTER [sic!] OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS?

Okay, excuse the bad pun—absolutely no disrespect intended. I assure you!—but our sincere thanks go out to mine and Tim’s mutual Facebook friend Brandon James (son and biographer of THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS’ late leading lady, actress and all-around bodacious glamor gal Jeanne Carmen) for his recent complimentary letter about our ‘zine and for kindly taking the time and effort to email MONSTER! some fabulous visual materials from the movie. Especially precious to us is the vintage MOPB-related newspaper clip reprinted hereabouts (see: “Nightmare for Horror Star – Mob Rips Her $300 Dress!) As an added bonus, Brandon was even nice enough to provide us with a high-quality scan of the original photograph which ran with said news item. Below, with his permission, we reprint his combined emails, dated May 15-16,2014:

Hi Steve,

I found it! Here is the photo with the torn dress.

Yes, this is a real photo and the incident reported in the paper is true. A horde of pre-pubescent and teenage boys rushed her and ripped her dress and pinched her butt and boobs. LOL

Ok.. the Monster of Piedras Blancas has been a fascinating strange odyssey for me. It starred my Mom JEANNE CARMEN. But I never saw the movie or was even sure it existed until I got out of college and finally tracked down a grainy VHS copy of it.

My Mom left Hollywood after Marilyn Monroe was killed and she relocated to a tiny out of the way town called Scottsdale, Arizona. Mom never really talked about her past life. I remember once, when I was in elementary school, my Mom mentioned that she had been in some Hollywood movies and asked her for a name of one of them and she said The Monster of Piedras Blancas. I had never seen or heard of it.. but.. I went with it and I mentioned it to some kids on the playground and one kid went home and told his cow poop stained cowboy boot wearing father who fancied himself an amateur film historian. the kid’s dad said he had never heard of a movie called The Monster of Piedras Blancas and therefore it must not be true and I must have made it up.. so I got jumped the next day at school and given a good work over for “making up The Monster of Piedras Blancas.” I wasn’t stupid so I decided to drop it and never mentioned The Monster of Piedras Blancas again while in school in Arizona.

Then, a few years later, after Sam Giancana was killed in outside Chicago, my Mom decided to move back to California. She still didn’t feel totally safe going back to Hollywood so she moved to a small little beach town called Newport Beach about an hours drive south of Los Angeles. That is where I went high school. it was a town filled with rich kids and surfer dudes. LOL Again, any time I dared mention a movie called The Monster of Piedras Blancas I was greeted with with dumbfounded looks, smirks and guffaws at such a funny name for a movie. At the time, the kids in my high school seemed to think Piedras Blancas was some kind of a made up name. No one seemed to realize it was just two spanish words that meant white rocks in english. LOL Again, I just dropped it and never mentioned it again through my high school years.

Then, after high school, in the mid 80’s I was at a big record store in Costa Mesa called The Music Market. it was huge and they specialized in used vinyl records. So one day I was there with my Mom and we were flipping through the records and I came across a punk album called by the ANGRY SAMOANS called Back From Samoa. the album cover had a really creepy photo of a Monster holding a severed head so i pulled it out and I said “Hey Mom, check this out” and I started laughing. She immediately said “Oh my God, that’s the monster from my movie.” So i said “What?” and she said “Yeah, that’s the Monster of Piedras Blancas.” That was the first image I ever saw from MOPB. I was still a little incredulous so I looked over the album front and back looking for a photo credit identifying the image. There was none. I had such a hard time over the years with this movie that I wanted a little more proof so we went up to the young guy working behind the counter who looked and sounded like Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I asked the guy “Is the image on this album from a movie called The Monster of Piedras Blancas.” The guy looked at me and my Mom with and started to guffaw and with a smirk he said “The Monster of what?.. are you guys fucking with me?” Getting the same reaction I had always gotten I decided to drop it. So then I kind of wanted to buy the album anyway so I asked “Can you tell me about this band?” and the guy said “That’s a bunch of crap. You don’t want to buy that.” then he said if i wanted to hear some great punk music I should buy some albums from a local punk band called the “BUTTHOLE SURFERS.” LOL this time my Mom and I laughed and we decided to pass on the suggestion and I passed on The Angry Samoan album. As we were leaving, I said, “You see Mom, that’s the reaction i always get.” She just shrugged and said “Sorry, but that was the Monster from my movie.” At the time, my Mom had a really cool little red convertible Mercedes Benz and as we drove away we saw the record clerk standing out in front of the store with his hands on his hips and staring at us with a silly grin on his face. We just waved and he just stood there staring until we pulled out of the parking lot.

So a few years later, I was attending USC Film School in Los Angeles and I still didn’t mention The Monster of Piedras Blancas to anyone because I was afraid of the reaction. And.. as it turned out.. a fan magazine called FILMFAX did a cover story on The Monster of Piedras Blancas while i was sitting in class in film school a couple miles away and I missed it. A few years later when I stumbled upon the magazine they mentioned that Jeanne Carmen was not interviewed because no one knew what had become of her. LOL

Then a short time later, my Mom went to a celebrity party in Los Angeles, and she went with her old friend Mamie Van Doren who she had starred with in Untamed Youth. Mamie also lived in Newport Beach at the time. Mamie wanted to look cool driving up to the house in Beverly Hills so my Mom let her drive her Mercedes. Mamie was driving, her husband Tom was in the passenger seat and my Mom was in the back seat. As they pulled up a fan broke out from the crowd and started running alongside the car. Mamie assumed the guy was a fan of hers and she parked and got out expecting to sign an autograph.. but instead… the guy said looked at my Mom as she got out and said “Miss Carmen, I’m a big fan of The Monster of Piedras Blancas” and I would be honored if you would sign some of these ” and he handed her some photo stills from MOPB. Mamie was stunned and she said to her husband “Tom, does she know him?” And Tom said, “I don’t think so.” Mamie was astounded and never really got over it because up until then, Mamie had always considered herself the BIG STAR and my Mom the little star. LOL

My Mom came home that night and told me what happened and that’s when I went all out and did a lot of tedious research and tracked down the grainy copy of MOPB and all her other movies and thousands of photo’s and magazine covers. And it took off from there. Ultimately, the E! Channel did a TV bio on my Mom called Jeanne Carmen: Queen of the B-Movies and the show opens with the MOPB crashing through the door in her apartment and scaring her as she lets out a scream.

and now, all these years later, the MOPB is being featured in a national commercial in which a couple that enjoys vintage pinup and monster movies has a date night at their house and they watch an old monster movie called The Monster of Piedras Blancas on TV. LOL

What a strange, fascinating journey, How weird!…. no… How cool is that.

Ok. I have to fit in one more piece of trivia that i think is fascinating about the actual shooting of MOPB. In the climactic scene in the lighthouse stairwell, the MOPB ascends the stairs and then slams his shoulder against the door from the inside the stairwell. In the movie, the MOPB is very lethargic at this point and can barely raise his arms as it pushes on the door with it’s shoulder. Then they cut to the townfolks down below and then they cut back to the outside of the lighthouse and the MOPB suddenly crashes through the door and screams and has his arms above his head. The MOPB is suddenly infused with energy and is jumping around like he just had a shot of adrenaline.

the reason for all of this, my Mom told me, is that the guy in the suit, Pete Dunn became so exhausted in the suit that he almost passed out on the top of the inner stairwell. they had to stop filming and bring Pete down to the ground and take him out of the suit and revive him. Pete couldn’t do any more. He was done. The crew was on limited time shooting at the Lighthouse and they knew they would never be allowed back in if they didn’t get the shot right then. So my Mom’s press agent at the time, a guy named Joe Seide, voluneered to get in the suit. Joe was a big guy and a fighter and a guy with ties to the Mafia and real “nut” as my Mom described him. the producers had no choice, they let Joe get in the suit and he is the guy in the suit that crashed through the lighthouse door and goes out on the ledge and fights with Don Sullivan. LOL

JFK book

A new book has just been published called THESE FEW PRECIOUS DAYS – THE FINAL YEAR OF JACK WITH JACKIE by #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author CHRISTOPHER ANDERSON. [Gallery Books, a division of Simon & Schuster; (2013)] [ISBN: 978-1-4767-3232-9]

MARILYN MONROE’S friend, pin up girl JEANNE CARMEN is referenced in the book on page 168:
=================
One of Crosby’s other guests, California Democrat Philip Watson, inadvertently wandered into a bungalow on the property and came across JFK “wearing a turtleneck sweater” and a soused Marilyn “dressed in kind of a robe thing. It was obvious they were intimate,” Watson said, “that they were staying together for the night.”

Marilyn’s condition that night was typical. She had always grappled with severe psychiatric and emotional problems, made worse in recent years by alcohol and prescription drug abuse. At thirty-six, she realized her sex-symbol days were numbered and began to see a new role for herself: as the second wife of the president. Confiding the most intimate details of the affair to her friend Jeanne Carmen, Marilyn was convinced JFK was about to leave Jackie for her. “Can’t you just see me,” she asked Carmen, “as First Lady?”
==================
And excerpts from the book have been published this week on dozens of new websites around the world including THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, THE DAILY MAIL in the U.K., THE INDEPENDENT in the U.K., THE IRISH CENTRAL NEWS in Ireland, THE TIMES OF INDIA and 24 TANZANIA in AFRICA to name a few.

Jackie reported back to Finnerty that relations between the president and the first lady had improved significantly — although not enough to stop Jack’s skirt-chasing. If nothing else, from this point on Jackie had no reason to blame herself for her husband’s sexual compulsions.

And she was right to fear Marilyn Monroe. The actress had always grappled with severe psychiatric and emotional problems, made worse by alcohol and prescription drug abuse. At thirty-six, she realized her sex symbol days were numbered and began to see a new role for herself: as the second wife of the president. Confiding the most intimate details of the affair to her friend Jeanne Carmen, Marilyn was convinced JFK was about to leave Jackie for her. “Can’t you just see me,” she asked Carmen, “as first lady?

JFK book: Marilyn Monroe confessed to affair, Jackie replied ‘great, I’ll move out, you have all the problems’

Former President John F. Kennedy’s wife Jackie knew about his affair with movie icon Marilyn Monroe and even spoke with Monroe about it on the phone, a new tell-all book that features some of John and Jackie’s closest friends, relatives and associates as on-the-record sources reveals

Marilyn Monroe allegedly called Jackie Kennedy, the wife of John F Kennedy and the first lady during his tenure as President of the United States, to confess that she’d had an affair with JFK.

Monroe also apparently set her sights on becoming the President’s second wife, and even called Mrs Kennedy at the White House to make her brazen declaration. When Jackie heard what Monroe had to say, she simply responded, “Marilyn, you’ll marry Jack, that’s great.

And you’ll move into the White House and you’ll assume the responsibilities of first lady, and I’ll move out and you’ll have all the problems.” This revelation is made in Christopher Andersen’s new book, These Few Precious Days: The Final Year of Jack with Jackie. The piece claims that Jackie “knew everything” about her husband’s philandering, however she simply decided to ignore his numerous indiscretions.

However, Marilyn’s relationship with JFK bothered Jackie the most, which was made even worse because of Monroe’s obvious ambitions to replace her as Kennedy’s wife. Jeanne Carmen, a friend of Marilyn’s, admitted that Monroe was convinced that JFK was set to leave Jackie for her.

However, she admits that these thoughts were probably exacerbated by her emotional and psychiatric problems, which became worse and worse because of her constant drinking and drug taking. Carmen added that Marilyn used to envision herself as the first lady. Peter Lawford, a member of the infamous Rat Pack, claimed that Marilyn made the phone call to Jackie, and he also added that she’d stated he’d leave his entire family for her too.

The book also stated that despite the fact that Jackie Kennedy was furious with her husband’s adultery, she was willing to look the other way as long as he didn’t embarrass her in public. However, she complained about JFK’s love-making to Dr Frank Finnerty, noting, “he just goes too fast and falls asleep,” as well as confessing that she believed it was her own sexual inadequacies that pushed JFK into bed with other women.

Here is a transcript:

An explosive biography reveals all the chilling details of what really happened the night Hollywood screen siren Marilyn Monroe died.

Monroe’s affairs with the Kennedy’s and her involvement with Mobster Johnny Roselli are confirmed in the thrilling, tell-all biography, Jeanne Carmen: MY WILD, WILD LIFE as a New York Pin Up Queen, Trick Shot Golfer & Hollywood Actress by Carmen’s son and author Brandon James.

According to the book, Carmen’s Hollywood life came to an abrupt end after her dear friend Marilyn Monroe died mysteriously on August 5, 1962. The next morning, Carmen’s apartment was broken into and ransacked. She stumbled upon the intruder and was thrown to the ground. The man standing over her was famed Hollywood private detective Fred Otash, who in turn pulled a gun out, pointed it at her face, and pulled the trigger. Lucky for her, the chamber was empty and only a loud click emanated from the gun barrel. Carmen collapsed and broke down in tears shortly after hearing the allegations that Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana had Marilyn Monroe murdered in an attempt to frame the Kennedys and ruin their political careers.

“Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe”

Another witness had no doubt about the nature of MARILYN’S relationship with ROBERT KENNEDY: JEANNE CARMEN, Marilyn’s neighbor at the Doheny apartment in Los Angeles, said she remembered an astonishing episode, which probably occurred in the spring of 1962. ‘I was at Marilyn’s place one evening when the doorbell rang. She was in the tub, and she called to me to get it. I opened the door, and there was Bobby.’ Carmen said she recognized the Attorney General at once, but was completely nonplussed. So was Robert Kennedy. ‘He had that expression of not knowing whether to run, or walk, or stay,’ said Carmen. ‘I was stunned, and I kept saying, “Come in,” but went on standing in his way. Finally, I got out of the way, and Marilyn came flying out of the bathroom, and jumped into his arms … she kissed him openly, which was out of character for her…‘

That night, said Carmen, she shared a glass of wine with Marilyn and Robert Kennedy — in a somewhat awkward atmosphere — then left them alone. She said Marilyn had told her some time earlier that she had seen John Kennedy, but never said much about the elder brother.

There was another occasion, says Carmen, when John and Robert arrived together with a couple of companions, then left almost at once with Marilyn. There was, she said, one further encounter with Robert Kennedy. She discussed it with some reluctance, and understandably so. If true, it was a remarkable episode, with a bizarre background.

Carmen discovered early on Marilyn’s mischievous delight in nudity. They once went to the movies together, each of them naked under a mink coat. (Given Marilyn’s history of such antics, this seems plausible.) Carmen said they were both friends of comedian Jack Benny; Marilyn had known him since 1953, and witnesses confirm they were friends. Benny’s home number appears in Marilyn’s address book.

Benny, says Carmen, would accompany Marilyn and herself to a massage parlor on Sunset, where they would all have facials. Once, for a lark, and to tease Benny, the two women walked out of the building and “flashed” their mink coats open at Benny, who was waiting outside in the car. Both were naked under the coats.

Carmen says nudity became something of a running joke for the trio— she makes it clear there was no sexual aspect so far as Benny was concerned— and they occasionally ventured forth to a “nude beach.” In the early sixties there was a beach where nude swimming was permitted, well to the north of Santa Monica, near the present Pepperdine University. As a sort of mutual dare, Carmen says, Jack Benny and Marilyn would accompany her to this beach in disguise—Marilyn in her black wig, Benny in a false beard acquired specially for the purpose. It worked, nobody recognized them. The false beard remained lying around Marilyn’s apartment and—in 1962— that was how Robert Kennedy came into the story.

“The beard was lying there,” Carmen says, “when Bobby came to see Marilyn, and I think he asked us what it was for. We explained, and told him about the Benny thing, and he said, ‘You could recognize Benny if he had ten beards on.’ And Marilyn said, ‘Oh, no, you couldn’t. Nobody’d recognize you if we fixed you up.’ And she put the beard on him, I put sunglasses on him, and we put a hat on him like a baseball cap sort of thing. And he looked in the mirror and said something like ‘I could probably get away with this.’ And we said, ‘Okay, we dare you! Let’s go.’”

Carmen is aware her story sounds preposterous, but she says Robert Kennedy simply seemed unable to resist a dare. That, certainly, is in character. They went off to the nudist beach in Carmen’s convertible—Kennedy in his getup and Marilyn in her wig. It was late, she says, and not many people were around. “We walked up and down, and sat on a blanket we brought from the car,” Carmen recalls. “Once we got out there and found nobody cared. Here were two famous people that nobody recognized—we just sort of lounged around. On the way back, we really laughed a lot.”

Checks of her background, and her own voluminous file on her show business career, indicate that Carmen was what she says she was and had many of the friends she claims she had in that period, including PETER LAWFORD and FRANK SINATRA. She correctly named the landlady of the Doheny apartments at the relevant time, and was clearly familiar with the building when we visited it together in 1983. Marilyn did not give up the apartment at once when she moved to her new house in spring 1962.

Follow the incredible journey of Jeanne Carmen’s wild life in this extraordinary, true life story of an American icon by author Brandon James in his thrilling, tell-all biography, Jeanne Carmen: MY WILD, WILD LIFE as a New York Pin Up Queen, Trick Shot Golfer & Hollywood Actress.

Ride along as the legendary Carmen travels the long, winding and sometimes dangerous road from a poverty-stricken childhood in Arkansas, to a bona fide New York Pin Up Queen, to a noted trick shot golfer who falls into the clutches of the mafia in Las Vegas – and finally to a celebrated Hollywood actress who dazzled her celebrity friends, including Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, President John F. Kennedy, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, Elvis Presley and Errol Flynn, among countless others.

Accompany her as her Hollywood life came to an abrupt end after her dear friend Marilyn Monroe died mysteriously on August 5, 1962. The next morning, Carmen’s apartment was broken into and ransacked. She stumbled upon the intruder and was thrown to the ground. According to Carmen, the man was famed Hollywood private detective Fred Otash, who in turn pulled a gun out, pointed it at her face, and pulled the trigger. Lucky for her, the chamber was empty and only a loud click emanated from the gun barrel. Carmen collapsed and broke down in tears shortly after hearing the allegations that Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana had Marilyn Monroe murdered in an attempt to frame the Kennedys and ruin their political careers.

Now, her diary is unlocked … and you get to see this gorgeous and celebrated woman in action through the pages of this book and on her website http://www.jeannecarmen.com

Carmen has been profiled in magazines, including Star, Globe, National Enquirer, Palm Springs Life, Golf, Femme Fatales, Golf World, Fairways, Playboy and American Heritage. She has also been seen on CBS News 48 Hours Mystery, Entertainment Tonight, BBC, History Channel, Golf Channel, Inside Edition, Hard Copy, E! True Hollywood Story, Asahi TV, Discovery Networks, Geraldo, Montel Williams and Larry King Live.

Hollywood Legend TONY CURTIS has published the book AMERICAN PRINCE: A MEMOIR: Crown Publishing Group: ISBN-13: 9780307408495

Marilyn Monroe said that when she was a child her mother had been sick. Marilyn didn’t mention her father. She had a friend named JEANNE CARMEN, a showgirl, who was very important to her, but on the whole Marilyn made it sound as if she was very isolated. We started to kiss and fondle each other, but that was the extent of the evening. At 11 o’clock, I drove her back.

I liked Marilyn very much and really enjoyed her company. She was a little odd, but so was I. We both acted very outgoing, but deep down we weren’t at ease with ourselves. Her reluctance to open up about her life just made me that much more interested in her, but the next few times I called to make a date she told me she was busy. Marilyn had been spending time at the Twentieth Century Fox studio. She was changing her style, her look, even her persona. When we had first started going out, she spoke in a normal voice, plainly and directly. Now she was learning what the public wanted, and by the end of our relationship she was beginning to talk with that breathy, sexy affectation that became her trademark. She also changed her hair colour, from red to platinum blonde.

On our next date we went for lunch at the Twentieth Century Fox commissary. That weekend I asked Howard Duff if I could use his house again. I bought a couple of steaks and picked Marilyn up at her hotel. Howard had a little grill in his garden. I cooked the steaks, opened a can of string beans, cut up some tomatoes, and uncorked a bottle of wine.

We had a leisurely dinner; then we walked outside in the moonlight. I knew something was going to happen, and so did she.

About two o’clock we went up to the bedroom, and I took off my shirt. Marilyn made herself comfortable, stripping down to her panties and bra, and sat on the edge of the bed. She was magnificent. We started to kiss and hold each other, and I undid her bra. Her breasts were every teenage boy’s fantasy come true. As we began to make love, I could tell that this was not her first time. She moved easily and seemed comfortable, which made her comfortable, too.

Something about it just seemed so right. I was bedding more than a few great-looking girls at this time in my life, but I liked Marilyn more than any of the others. She was different. She was very fragile and vulnerable, which attracted me greatly. We continued seeing each other for awhile. We would go to her friend JEANNE CARMEN’s place, or Howard’s bungalow, and once we even went to Marilyn’s hotel room. We almost never went out at night in public, though.

Marilyn was the first woman I ever truly felt close to. We had real feelings for each other, although I wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, and neither was she. Neither one of us was willing – or able – to take what we had between us to the next level.

Pin Up Icon Jeanne Carmen was interviewed by The Los Angeles Times after the death of Marilyn Monroe on August 4, 1962.

In the article, the Times stated that “from other sources”—including Carmen, housekeeper Eunice Murray and film director John Huston—a darker, more mysterious version of Monroe’s last days was already emerging.

The Times reported that Carmen was “a neighbor” of Monroe and that she had seen Marilyn two weeks earlier and had stated that Monroe “looked like death.”

 

Check out a pdf of the newspaper clipping at this link:

JC – MM – LA Times – page 1

JC – MM – LA Times – page 2

 

Decades later, according to Jeanne’s E! True Hollywood Story, “After the death of Monroe, Carmen felt her own life was in danger because of her knowledge of Monroe’s affairs with President John F Kennedy and his brother Bobby Kennedy.”

So Carmen “skipped town” leaving Hollywood behind and landing in the small desert town of Scottsdale, Arizona where she lived incognito for over a decade.

Carmen abandoned her platinum blonde locks, had three children and lived a quiet life, never mentioning her prior life in Hollywood.

Carmen would not be seen again on the big screen, TV or in print for over two decades.
