Marilyn Monroe: Today 61 (I)
Happy Birthday Mr. President
We could have started this post saying, Marilyn Monroe: Today, 61 Years Young. Unfortunately, it was August 4th, 1962 when Marilyn Monroe was found dead.
CONSPIRACY THEORY NUMBER TWO
Lots of conspiracy theories have been floating about WHO/WHY/WHAT happened during the last days in the life of the troubled beauty.
Her legacy, ironically, would follow with full of conspiracies after her death, like the 35th president of the United States of America she loved.
50 years after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the majority of Americans still believe some conspiracy about his death.

Daphne Barak Exclusive
Top TV interviewer Daphne Barak shedded some light to Marilyn Monroe’s case, when she made a rare interview with Marie Irvine.
Marie was Marilyn's makeup girl, but also close-confident.
Marie was the one who prepared Marilyn for her iconic performance, "Happy Birthday Mr. President" song for President John F. Kennedy.
It was in May, only a couple of months before her tragic death.
Daphne recalls, "How much Marie loved Marilyn... She talked about her unknown side - "Just a nice girl..."
Marie relived this day, when she joined Marilyn, while the blonde bombshell rehearsed for the song, she would sing in front of a full Madison Square Garden.
Daphne wanted any detail, which would help her audience understand Marilyn's state of mind.
Private Time With President Kennedy
Marilyn had reportedly spent an unforgettable weekend with the President, in Palm Springs, in March 1962.
It is believed wildly that she fell hard for JFK. But the president had enough, after this intense interaction.
Sources said at the time that he said: "Marilyn is not ‘First Lady’ material..."
Yet... Marilyn was already infatuated... She was in denial that it was just a "Spring Fling!”
Happy Birthday Mr. President
Therefore, Marilyn was so thrilled to be invited to this huge fundraiser in New York, and serenaded Kennedy with: "Happy BBBirthday... Mr Presidenttttt..."
Daphne revealed that she was so concerned, if she would be invited to the after party (at the home of Mathilda Krim) that she purchased 5 (five) tickets.
So that there was no way she would be taken off the list because of the affair's rumors...
Daphne felt for her, when Marie shared with her that the refrigerator was full of costly champagne, freshly stocked.
Daphne, then, traced a receipt for the champagne, bought just a day before.

Instincts, FOX, Dress, Earings
Everyone remembers how Marilyn Monroe sang “Happy Birthday Mr. President” that day in a golden beadad dress.
The image has been forever entrenched in the minds of most everyone on Planet Earth, ever since.
However, behind the scenes not everything was harmonious. There were lots of anxieties for Marilyn.
Marilyn’s Instincts
Daphne understood Marilyn's instincts:
"Since JFK was travelling without his wife Jackie, Marilyn was hoping to spend the night (or more) with the President, and prepared her love nest..."
Marie adored Marilyn and shared: "Marilyn knew how to uncork a bottle of Champagne and... then cork it back...”
Marie also shared that when she arrived at her friend's flat in NY, Marilyn was still sleepy from the LA-NY flight.
"She ran and squeezed an orange juice for me... She was so considerate... Then - She jumped back to bed..."
Later on this day - Marilyn would be rehearsing endlessly for her act this evening.
"But she was really upset and was constantly on the phone..."
FOX on Marylin’s Case
Apparently Fox threatened to fire her about leaving LA in the middle of a production.
"But," says Marie, "she didn't understand why... After all, she had promised to be there for Kennedy's Bday way before the production started, and she kept her promise..."
Famous Dress
The famous beaded dress. needed to be sawed on her that day.
Marie said that, "Marilyn was a natural beauty, with flawless white skin. It was so delightful to do her makeup…”
But that day - Marylin was restless, upset, distracted…
Those Earrings
So distracted, that after the car picked Marilyn up for the glamorous evening, Marie noticed that she left her earrings behind.
Marie also noticed that there was no gentleman to escort the sexiest woman on earth to the stadium.
Just a car.
That lonely...
Marie ran to the stadium, convinced the guards to let her in, and spotted Frank Sinatra and other A Listers backstage.
At last she found Marilyn, sitting alone in her dressing room... She looked at Marie, and nodded.
As if saying: “I knew - while it is so lonely out there - I could count on you, my friend...”
