Inside the final chapter of Marilyn Monroe’s life
A new account of Marilyn Monroe’s final days by bestselling author James Patterson uncovers stunning revelations about the star’s descent into emotional turmoil, 'her obsession with President John F Kennedy, and the icy moment when Jackie Kennedy herself offered a stinging dose of reality.
Jackie is said to have taken a call from Monroe, who did not identify herself and, recognising the iconic voice, responded with chilling grace: “Marilyn, you’ll marry Jack, that’s great. You’ll move into the White House and assume the responsibilities of the First Lady. I’ll move out, and you’ll have all the problems.”
The new narrative paints a vivid picture of Monroe’s fragile mental health, her volatile relationships, and her desperate search for love and validation in the Hollywood spotlight and political shadows.
The report begins with Monroe’s terrifying commitment to the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic in New York under the alias “Faye Miller.”
Plunged into a padded cell, screaming and alone, she was placed in a straitjacket after smashing a window with a chair – a scene eerily reminiscent of her film roles.
Her psychiatrist, Dr Marianne Kris, had committed her, fearing she was suicidal due to her chaotic emotional entanglements, including a clandestine affair with then-future president John F Kennedy.
Her salvation came in the form of her ex-husband Joe DiMaggio, who stormed the clinic and demanded her release.
