Marilyn Monroe: My Story, My Life

by Marilyn Monroe, Maria Whitworth

A resounding truth echoes in this story as Marilyn Monroe describes the fight for her life while she watched the cover-up from her still-conscious soul.   She also reveals the true nature of her relationships with Joe DiMaggio, John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Frank Sinatra and Sam Giancana.In telling her story, Marilyn's greatest wish was for her beloved Joe DiMaggio to know how she truly felt about him, and to be freed of the horrendous guilt he'd lived with every day since her passing.  She discusses her friendship with John F. Kennedy and how he lived to see a prediction a New York psychic had forecasted, that their lives were in danger.  She also discloses her relationship with Bobby Kennedy and the role he played in her death.  Sam Giancana was part of her fascination with the mob underworld, and she talks about her affair with him, what it was like to be 'the girl of a gangster,' and his knowledge of the danger she was in at the end of her life and what he and Frank Sinatra tried to do about it.Growing up with a manic-depressive mother and sharing this illness herself, Marilyn sought solace with her friend, Judy Garland, who understood the relentless pressures of the Hollywood studio system.  Marilyn also sought treatment with psychiatry, and had difficulties with the many drugs they prescribed.  In the end, this information was used against her character, depicting her as a good candidate for suicide, which was a far cry from what really happened. Marilyn's ambition was to write a book on how she made it in and out of fame alive.  She kept notes for that book in her personal journal, including her rendezvous with everyone from the President to movie stars and mobsters, never realizing it would form the center of a 'perfect storm' ensuring she never made it out of fame alive.  In this book, Marilyn brings together all the elements of that perfect storm leading to her death and the resulting cover-up.  This is her story...Channeled By Maria WhitworthA vessel in which Marilyn Monroe's thoughts could manifest.ABOUT THE AUTHORGrowing up in northern England, Maria Whitworth had a gift from an early age for communicating with those who had passed over. Her first experience came when she was five years old. While watching television with her father, a news flash showing live footage announced that Marilyn Monroe had been found dead. Drawn to the scene, Maria watched the men carrying a stretcher with her covered body out to an ambulance. She asked her father why she'd died and he told Maria "they're saying she took a lot of tablets." "That's not what she says," Maria responded. There was a silent dialogue she could hear but not fully understand. Later she went on to give readings, helping to restore people's faith in their intuition and helping them connect with their loved ones whose bodies had died. Maria's work with the police solving homicides soon followed. When Maria was contacted by the spirits of two elderly ladies who had been brutally murdered near her home, she told a police detective their story, the events surrounding the murder and the name of the murderer. She knew the man would strike again close to his home and when caught, confess to both murders, and that is what happened. Maria worked with the local police and Scotland Yard to solve cases, and from this came an interest in historical crimes.Maria's connection with Marilyn continued throughout this time, and when Marilyn asked her to find her beloved Joe and write her story, Maria left England and went to California. She found herself in Brentwood, reconstructing the events surrounding Marilyn's last days. Guided by Marilyn, Maria then went to San Francisco and spoke with Joe DiMaggio.

About the author

Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson; June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962) was an American actress, model, and singer, who became a major sex symbol, starring in a number of commercially successful motion pictures during the 1950s and early 1960s.

After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946 with Twentieth Century-Fox. Her early film appearances were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950), drew attention. By 1952 she had her first leading role in Don't Bother to Knock and 1953 brought a lead in Niagara, a melodramatic film noir that dwelt on her seductiveness. Her "dumb blonde" persona was used to comic effect in subsequent films such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and The Seven Year Itch (1955). Limited by typecasting, Monroe studied at the Actors Studio to broaden her range. Her dramatic performance in Bus Stop (1956) was hailed by critics and garnered a Golden Globe nomination. Her production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, released The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), for which she received a BAFTA Award nomination and won a David di Donatello award. She received a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like It Hot (1959). Monroe's last completed film was The Misfits, co-starring Clark Gable with screenplay by her then-husband, Arthur Miller.

Marilyn was a passionate reader, owning four hundred books at the time of her death, and was often photographed with a book.

The final years of Monroe's life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a reputation for unreliability and being difficult to work with. The circumstances of her death, from an overdose of barbiturates, have been the subject of conjecture. Though officially classified as a "probable suicide", the possibility of an accidental overdose, as well as of homicide, have not been ruled out. In 1999, Monroe was ranked as the sixth greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute. In the decades following her death, she has often been cited as both a pop and a cultural icon as well as the quintessential American sex symbol.

What a brilliant read this book was. I don't believe so anything written in this book is a lie. Marilyn witnessed her death first in her head then after leaving her physical body.

They made it look like a scene from a famous Hollywood movie but she was definitely murdered because she knew more than others were expecting her to know. Her relationship with Bobby Kennedy got her in real trouble.

I can certainly believe this book word to word because many celebrities here in India have been murdered but their stories were shouting for the justice being labelled as a suicide case.

Hats off to Maria for coming across Marilyn aka Norma Jean in one of her readings and unraveling the story behind her gruesome murder. May her soul rest in peace. And without any iota of doubt she loved Joe dearly. I wish they were together.

Do you want to know how Marilyn died? She will tell you. “Marilyn Monroe: My Story, My Life” appeals to so many of my interests. Conspiracy theory, political intrigue, the mob, celebrity lifestyles, fascinating lives of people of great talent and accomplishment, spirituality, psychic mediumship, UFOs, and the afterlife – just to mention a few. To be honest, I bought the book by mistake. And, like so many of my mistakes, I had a lot of fun with it and do not regret it. I thought it was another book. This one is actually written by psychic Maria Whitworth, who channeled Marilyn Monroe.

It all revolves around Marilyn’s murder, and we learn who did it. You may not be surprised. Her diary is a key element and we learn so much about her depression, her loves, and her relationships. We are told how she is betrayed by those closest to her – her most trusted confidantes. She is deeply involved with so many familiar names: Frank Sinatra, Sam Giancana, Judy Garland, John and Bobby Kennedy, Peter Lawford, and the love of her life, Joe DiMaggio.

So much is fascinating, especially the relationship with the president. They were actually very close and Kennedy shared a lot with Marilyn. They are similar in many ways. Kennedy once told her, “I wish I could say it’s going to be okay, but for the first time in my life, I truly know it’s not going to be okay.” Marilyn also gained great insight that the country is not run by the president – those in charge dictate what the citizens can say and do.

I highly recommend this book.

Interesting account, believable!!!!

As a huge fan I was curious of what was in this book. Sad and chilling and almost a recording from the grave. I have always found the housekeeper Mrs Murray a cold dark entity on interviews so if this account of their final days shared isn't the truth is got to be very close. I hope one day MM will get justice and I hope the truth comes out. Obviously still a suspicious topic, why else would documents and an autopsy report go missing and replaced with an edited replacement. This is worth reading.
