Marilyn Monroe's romance with Kennedy.

 Marilyn Monroe's Kennedy romance was one of the most famous in the 1960s. Monroe romanced with President John F. Kennedy and later with his brother Robert. The actress was known to lead a scandalous life, and her numerous romances did not go unnoticed. Did men contribute to the death of the sex bomb? Or maybe it was Marilyn's obsession with drug punctures that took her life? Check if Marilyn Monroe's romance with the Kennedy brothers could have contributed to the star's death.

Marilyn Monroe's biography was very turbulent. The actress was famous for her scandalous life, as well as numerous romances. Monroe was often in love with another man, even though she had a husband. It is worth adding at this point that Monroe had three husbands in her life - James Dougherty, Joe di Maggio, and Arthur Miller. But no husband of Marilyn could show her what true love is. Or maybe the actress was so lost that she was always looking for love in the arms of another man? A new lover appeared every now and then in Marilyn's life. Between each romance, alcohol and drugs played equally important episodes in the life of the star. All this was intertwined with the mental problems of Marilyn Monroe, who struggled with, among others, stage fright, neurosis, insomnia, and low self-esteem. Obsession with men, drugs, and her own appearance, as well as numerous mental problems of the star made Monroe want to try to take her own life. When she was disappointed in something or became deeply depressed, she tried to commit suicide. The actress was under such enormous stress that she had to be treated by a psychiatrist. Definitely, the star didn't have a simple life. Neither of Marilyn's husbands had it easy with her.

Each biography of Marilyn Monroe touches on the theme of the actress's death. Monroe died on August 5, 1962, no one doubts that. However, there are many speculations about the details of the circumstances of the star's death. Investigators show that Monroe was found dead by the star's housekeeper, Eunice Murray. Did Marilyn Monroe overdose on sleeping pills, as you read on the Internet? After all, the actress tried many times to end her life, unable to cope with her own mental problems. Or maybe Marilyn's death was caused by men for whom the star in love was crazy? Let's try to take a closer look at it.

It is widely known that Marilyn had an affair with John F. Kennedy - the former president of the United States. There were many legends about the actress's romance with the president. The familiarity of the sex bomb with John F. Kennedy aroused great emotions among people. In the 1960s, there was quiet talk of Marilyn Monroe's intimate relationship with the president. In May 1962, however, the whispering stopped, and loud talks began about the couple's romance. On President Monroe's 45th birthday, she sang a sexy version of "Happy Birthday" for him, clearly revealing her closer relationship with President Kennedy. The lovers were first seen together in 1957 at a ball at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel (New York). However, Monroe was at the party with her then-husband (Arthur Miller), and Kennedy with his wife Jackie. Back then, there was no indication of a lovers' romance.

Donald Spoto, one of the authors of many of Monroe's biographies, admitted that John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe certainly maintained an intimate relationship. However, there was no indication that their relationship would ever be a long-term one. Spoto in his biography about Monroe wrote that the star may have had closer contact with John on March 24, 1962, when they were together at a party at Bing Crosby's house (Palm Beach). A close friend of the star (Ralph Roberts), however, emphasized to the biographer that it was the only night that John F. Kennedy was close to Monroe. Is it true? Or is there something more behind this mysterious information?

In the biography of Monroe by J. Randy Taraborrelli ("The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe"), John F. Kennedy has been delighted with Monroe from the moment he saw her. The author of this biography also reports that on March 24, 1962, the couple did meet at Crosby's villa - reportedly the president called the actress there by phone. He also assured her on the phone that he would appear at the party without his wife Jackie. Monroe had a great time in the company of the president, and John F. Kennedy did not leave the beautiful actress behind.

Marilyn Monroe fell in love with the president and dreamed of becoming the first lady. Apparently, she called the White House every day to hear her beloved's voice. However, this one day told Marilyn that she was unfit for the first lady of the United States. In this way, he definitely broke their short-term relationship. For the blonde in love, it was a blow to the heart. Soon after, Monroe tried to kill herself because she couldn't imagine life without John. She also started spreading out about her intimate relationship with the president. Kennedy's brother-in-law (Peter Lawdord) recalled that Marilyn called him the day before her death asking him to say goodbye to the president. On August 5, 1962, Monroe was found dead in her own bed.

Marilyn Monroe has never hidden the fact that she was taking an enema for hygiene reasons. She also wanted an impeccable figure, which made the enema a stranger in her life. Some people believe that the cause of Monroe's death was that Monroe had taken a dissolved pentobarbital enema. Numerous biographies of the actress indicate that the enema was given by the star housekeeper - Eunice Murray. When the police arrived at the apartment, Marilyn Monroe reportedly quickly pushed back the sheets as if she wanted to destroy the evidence. Detectives pointed to the guilt of either the housekeeper or the actress's psychiatric doctor - Dr. Greenson. Why was the psychiatrist Monroe also blamed? Some say that the doctor was madly in love with the actress and wanted to have her only for himself. So was it the private doctor Monroe who asked the housekeeper to administer a lethal enema? Or maybe Dr. Greenson personally injected the patient with poison into the heart of an actress who did not love him? It is said that this is what one of the paramedics who came to the house of the late Monroe saw. The investigation did not reveal that Dr. Greenson personally killed the Hollywood star. It is completely unknown who to believe.

Anthony Summer, in his biography about Monroe ("The Goddess. The Secrets of Marilyn Monroe's Life and Death"), mentions Monroe's affair not only with John but also with Robert Kennedy - his younger brother. The actress began an affair with Robert when she realized that John F. Kennedy did not love her. This was how she wanted to console herself. Robert F. Kennedy, however, also did not intend to give up his life partner for her. The actress was desperate. She was falling into deeper and deeper depression. No Kennedy wanted her forever.

On the day of Monroe's death, Robert F. Kennedy visited her, as confirmed by Eunice Murray and Peter Lawford's wife. Marilyn was spreading louder and louder about her affair with Robert, which he could not afford. Robert F. Kennedy was the US Attorney General. Before the information about Monroe's death was released to the media, Robert wanted to move quickly to Los Angeles. Was it a coincidence? What could Robert F. Kennedy have done to preserve his and John's good reputation? Could the president's younger brother kill a Hollywood star? After all, he didn't want Marilyn to talk about their relationship in public.

There are rumors that Robert F. Kennedy hired a paid doctor-assassin to get rid of Monroe. Was that killer Dr. Greenson? During the autopsy, no sting marks were found on the actress's body. It is also known that Dr. Greenson usually instructed patients to perform simpler procedures on their own - incl. an enema or injection. So he was not at the beck and call of Marilyn, though he consulted her frequently by telephone. So what was it really like? Did Monroe actually accidentally overdose on drugs and die in the ambulance on the way to the hospital? Or maybe Dr. Greenson "helped" her? Greenson has denied all speculation about his involvement in Marilyn Monroe's death. Or was it otherwise?

On the day of her death, Marilyn Monroe had an argument with Robert F. Kennedy. Private detective Fred Otash reportedly installed a wiretap in the actress's house, which can be read in his private diary. According to Fred Otash's records, there was a scuffle in the star's apartment - Robert probably strangled the actress with a pillow, and then quickly left. The official cause of death, however, was an overdose of sleeping pills by the star. Was it Robert F. Kennedy who killed Monroe? Was this the way he wanted to protect his and his brother's good name? Or maybe the Hollywood star could not cope with life and committed suicide? Was Marilyn Monroe's romance with Kennedy the cause of the actress's death? The cause of Marilyn Monroe's death will ignite the imaginations of people all over the world forever. Despite numerous publications, it is still unknown why the actress died.
