According to Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe's untimely death was a murder, not an accidental overdose.
A new memoir by Sinatra's former manager and close friend, Tony Oppedisano, was excerpted in People Magazine this week. The book, titled Sinatra and Me: In The Wee Small Hours, included a bit about how the singer reacted to news that Monroe had died on August 4, 1962.
"Frank believed she was murdered," Oppedisano writes, "and he never got over it."
Sinatra and Monroe were close friends. According to Oppedisano, their relationship never turned romantic because Sinatra thought that the actress was too fragile and too troubled. Instead, the pair trusted one another with secrets. Oppedisano shared that Monroe confided in Sinatra about her affairs with John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. When the affairs ended abruptly, Monroe also told Sinatra that she didn't understand why the men had completely shut her out.
In the days leading up to her overdose, Monroe was spending time at the famous Cal Neva Lodge in Lake Tahoe. Exclusive information from Oppedisano revealed that the actress was actually there with her ex-husband, Joe DiMaggio. He also revealed that Monroe was planning on making an announcement that the couple was getting back together the following week.
An announcement from Monroe gave way to a rumor that she was going to share the details of her relationships with JFK and RFK. Oppedisano said that Sinatra knew this was not true because of Monroe's feelings for another man. In fact, "Frank believed if the press conference hadn't been announced, she would have lived a lot longer," writes Oppedisano.
Following Monroe's death, her attorney told Sinatra that the actress had been killed. Another rumor suggested that high-profile criminals were involved. This information was backed by multiple sources and Oppedisano said that Sinatra had several sources who told him the same story over and over: "She'd been murdered with a Nembutal suppository and Robert Kennedy or the Mob was involved."
Sinatra remained haunted by Monroe's tragic death for over 30 years -- until his own passing in 1998. Oppedisano kept the story a secret for an additional 20, saying his memoir is an attempt at sharing Sinatra's human side with the public. "I tried to paint the portrait of a man very few people got to know as well as I did," Oppedisano writes, "I think he knew someday I'd share the stories he wanted the world to know." ~Cassandra Coleman
i believe it it wasnt the mob i believe it was john Kennedys father she had this red notebook she wrote everything down when they would have conversations both with john k and bobby thats what she was going to expose them with dirt
It wouldn’t surprise me if she was murdered given the people she was involved with but interesting to know she might’ve been getting back together with Joe DiMaggio - but at the same time so many people even now take prescription drugs Without a complete understanding of what it can do to you (look at the tragic death of heath ledger)
Jesus said ; After death than the judgement! The murders are in hell now gettin what they deserve!
Marilyn Monroe was actually pregnant with John f Kennedy's baby. They had to kill her.
