RE: "PHOTOPLAY" ARTICLE CONCERNING MARILYN MONROE'S DEATH

The article alleges the affair between this man and Miss Monroe
“began during the "worst time of her life and the best time of his." The alleged
'man was celebrating his good fortune in reaching a height in his career "he never
before dreamed" would be possible, The remainder of the article allegedly outlines
“the end of the remance and Miss Monroe's final efforts to renew the relationship.
The article states that she telephoned the man on Sunday night, August 5, 1962,

_ and when he said he would not leave his wife and could not see Miss Monroe “any more!’
i she swallowed a "handful" of sleeping pills. The article claims she later called
“the man again, implying that she told him of having taken the pills, only to have him
hang up on her and states that the last sound she heard was the "buzzing of the
receiver in her hand." after the man broke the telephone connection.

The article states that Miss Monroe's housekeeper has'vanished"
and that her publicity agent, Pat Newcombe, is now working in Washington, D. C.
It says her second husband, Joe DiMaggio, is the only one who remains faithful and that
the man‘who killed Miss Monroe is still at large and can never be arrested. But, the
: article asserts,"Wherever he goes, whatever he touches, whomever he sees; he thinks
‘ of Marilyn. His guilt never leaves him, his fear has become his friend."

Dear Director Hoover!

MDR

Austrian papers recently reported, often in headlines,
that the FBI is presently engaged in investigating the death of
ae Monroe, for there have allegedly arisen doubts as to the *
fact that the actress has committed suicide. We wonder if these .
reports are based upon true facts.

Christmas and the coming of a new year is a welcome
opportunity to thank you, Dear Director Hoover, for your never- @,
ceasing kindness to answer our frequent inquiries whenever al
possible. In doing so you are decisively contributing not only
to hold but to improve the prestige and the standard of our
review. A very happy Christmas and every good wish for 1966!

I have the honor to be, Sir,

yours most respeotfully

his name was misused or that he lied under oath. This pamphlet
names Miller as sponsor of the Gtizens Emergency Defense Conference

geles newspaperman, said he|
was contacted by Harrison to|
check out a story that Joan
Crawford “was mean to her|
children.” But, McCarthy
said, he found no truth to the
allegation and quit cold “be-|
cause I was getting a little
sick of the whole thing.”

Former Boy Friends

It was Howard Rushmore,
former editor of Confidential,
_ who brought in the names of|
“Kim Novak and Anita Ek-|
berg. In both cases, he said,
former boy friends sold sto-

\

ries which alleged indiscre-|;

tions.

Rushmore said he learned)
at the Confidential office that
it was Private Detective Fred
Otash who supplied details
of his asserted earlier ro-|

| mance with Miss Ekberg.

And, said Rushmore,

: male actor got $750 from Mar-
» jorie Meade of Hollywood Re-
search for the article about,

Kim Novak. “He wanted to)—

be known as one of Novak's
early lovers,” said Rushmore,
“Ss of the ur

that his picture was to be
used in the layout.”

That story was titled,
“Kiss and Tell,” he said.

Wrong-Door Raid
Rushmore said it was Pri-|
vate Detective Barney Rudit-
sky who supplied missing de-
tails of the famous wrong-
door raid involving Frank
Sinatra, Joe DiMaggio and
Marilyn Monroe after one of
Ruditsky’s operatives appar-
ently sold the original infor-
mation.

Following that, Rushmore}
said, Ruditsky returned to
Hollywood and subsequently!
sold Confidential information|
about Mickey Rooney and
Bandleader Charlie Barnet.
He said Ruditsky worked
through Marjorie Meade,
zniece of Harrison, and her!
husband Fred.

Rushmore said Francesca
de Seaffa, ex-wife of Actor]
Bruce Cabot and now in Mex-|
ico, “... supplied 90% of our!
Hollywood material over a
two-year period.”

Ronnie Quillan as a source!

that “nauseated” him.

He said he was sent to Los'
Angeles by Harrison to set
up a West Coast bureau and’

that he hired Columnist

band, Denny Morrison.

But, he remembered, their,
articles “were too well docu-|

wright, ta the auther of the play “Death of a Salesman.”
On June 29, 1956, he was married to Martlyn Monroe, motton-
picture actress,

Miller has deen reported to have been a member of:
the Communiat Party (CP) in the 1940¢s an€ to have been
Gssoctated with numerous comaunsst-dominated organizations
from 1946 to 1950. Ke teatified before ei subcommittee of
the Committee on Un-American dctivities, united States House
of Represcntatives, Washington, D. @., om ,June 21, 1956.
Miller admitted having attended 5 or 6 meetings of CP
writers in 1947 but denied having baen water CP diactpline.
In response to a queation concerning whether he had signed
an application to join the CP Miller testified that in 1939
or 1940, he had atgned what he thought be be a application
for a atudy course in Marziam but that he did not know the
exact nature of the application. He refuped to discuss
activities of amy other individuals and was, therefore, .on
July 25, 1956, etted for contempt of the Hause of Repre+

Memorandum to Mr. E. S. Miller
Re: Norman Mailer

claiming the FBI and CIA were furious with the Xennedys because
following the Bay of Pigs invasion President ennedy was moving to
limit the power of these agencies.

Matler has admitted in recent press interviews concerning
his book that he has no evidence to support his theory and that it is
based on his "writer's instinct" and on speculation.

A second allegation purportedly contained in the book was
recently brought to the attention of the Los Angeles Office by ad.
Shearer, editor of Parade Magazine. This allegation is that in oe
FBI Agents in Los Angeles went to’ tte telephone company in Santa Monica,
California, and removed a "paper tape" of Marilyn Monroe's telephone
calls, some of which according to Mailer, were presumably to the
White House or White House staff on the night of her death.

This is false and neither the files of the Los Angeles Office
nor FBI Headquarters indicate the existence of any such tapes. This
again appears to be a variation of a spurious charge contained in Capell's
1964 book in which he alleged that such tapes were in the custody of
the Los Angeles Police Department.

Norman Mailer is an eccentric but well-known author, who
in the past has won a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award. He
is the author of "The Naked and the Dead,"' "The Deer Park," "An
American Dream," "Cannibals and Christians," "The Armies of the
Night," and "Miami and the Siege of Chicago."

He admits to little or no research concerning his specula-
tion about Marilyn Monroe's death. He states his motive in writing
the book is his dire need for money. He admits having no evidence
to support his theory of FBI or CIA involvement and uses it to sensa-
tionalize his book and to gain publicity. Mailer has even coined a new
word which describes some of his speculative writing in "Marilyn. "
The 'factoid" he defines as "an event which has nc existence other than
it has appeared in print."

With Marilyn, it was not good fortune
but unhappiness that drew her to him. She
was getting older, she was afraid she was
losing her beauty, she was afraid she'd
lose out on her career. Her last pictures
had not made the mongy expected of «

her. And hadn't 20th just fired her?

So she went on looking. And not finding,
she became more and more desperate.
And with her desperation came the end-
Jess pilla, the drinking, and a dream she'd
ee Pefore—the dream of ending it all in

ORE then there was the man. .

She needed him. She needed his con-
fidence and his vitality. Because if this
man was so confident of himself and of
hie future, and since he'd chosen her,
didn't that mean he believed in her, too?
And if he believed in her, then she couldn't
possibly be as bad as she thought she was.

Maybe he wif! marry mel

Besides, to her, there was always the
faint possibility that he would marry her \
and they could live happily ever after.

But it was all a dream, and somewhere
deep inside her she knew that.

He explained to her that they'd never
marry. He loved his wife, he told her,
though he loved her, too. And there was
his career, he told her, any scandal would
ruin it—and he'd never allow that to hap-
pen. This was what he'd dedicated his
life to. No, he'd never allow that to happen.

And so they spent time together, aa
rauch time as they could manage, in quiet,
out of the way placea, at her home, in
friends’ apartments, once or twice meeting
in the same public place and not acknowl-
edging each other. .

‘You must understand that he is an
honorable man. Never before had he been

but devoted to his wife and-
family. Bat be hed a need for Marilyn and
he allowed himself bis indulgence. It was
to be his fatal flaw.

And, if it became public knowledge, what

dream was close to the brink of coming

true? He'd better see Marilyn less. He'd .

better try to stop seeing her altogether.

She spoke to him on the phone.

“Don't leave me,” she pleaded.

“It’s over,” he answered, “I'll never
leave my wife. I can’t see you any more.”

He hung up on her and she tried to
lose herself in sleep. Beside her bed there
was a bottle of fifty sleep capsules. There,
there was her friend, the thing that always
gave her peace.

She gulped down a handful.

The phone rang. It was # close friend
of hers, a friend who knew all about the
romance.

“He won't take me back,” she cried.
“He said he'll never come back.”

The friend told her, “I'll come over
and talk to you.”

But Marilyn didn’t want anyone to see
her the way she looked. Her eyes were
swollon and red. She'd let her blonde hair
grow out until the dark roots showed. Her
face clearly showed the signs of drinking
and pills.

“No,” she said, “I’ve taken a sleeping

NORMAN MAILER
INFORMATION CONCERNING

To advise of speculation concerning FBI complicity in
the death of Marilyn Monroe propounded by author Norman Mailer
in his soon-to-be-published biography of the deceased actress.

"Marilyn," a 270-page biography (New York; Grosset
and 2yunlap,) priced at $19.95, is scheduled for publication on
8/1/73. It reportedly has a first American printing of 285,000
copies and is the August selection of the Book-of-the Month Club.

Following Miss Monroe's death by drug overdose in
1962, there was a spate of rumors, originating on the West Coast,
alleging she was having an affair with the then Attorney General
Robert F, Xennedy, audtnet-her-deatir-was in some way related to
this and/or was the result of a plot revolving around some of her
associates who allegedly had past Communist Party affiliations or
sympathies. These rumors were embellished upon at that time in
various sensational-type gossip magazines and in a short book pub-
lished in July, 1964, entitled "The Strange Death of Marilyn Monroe"
by Frank A. Capell. These allegations were branded false and no
factual support existed for them.

Mailer, in his new book, has repeated sonie of these
same rumors and has given them a bizarre twist.

As to whether Miss Monroe took her own life, Mailer
answers "possibly" - and then suggests other possibilities. One
of these is the suggestion that the FBI, CIA or the Mafia found it
of interest that Robert Kennedy, brother of the President John «Kennedy,
was reputed to be having an affair with the movie star. Mailer
suggests that "right-wing" FBI and CIA Agents had a “huge motivation"
to murder Marilyn Monroe in order to embarrass the Kennedy family,

on the anniversary of their divorce. It was
in March, 1958, that Soraya was exiled

she had no carcer. Her studio had firea
ber. Well, she could dream that somebody
Joved her. She could forget about her
father who never wanted her, her mother
who escaped to mental institutions. And
she could forget this man who had left
her, too. If she could only sleep. And next
to her was the bottle of pills.

The bottle. It was empty! There were
none left.

She had to get help! She called him.

First, he thought: J/ this gets out 'm
through. I can’t get involved in something
like this. Then, She’s faking. She's threat-
ened me before. She'd never really do it.

He told her again he couldn't get in-
volved—that he was a married man. He
hung up.

At all took less than a minute.

The last thing Marilyn heard was the
burzing of the receiver in her hand.

Coroner Theodore J. Curphey, in his
official report; noted: “Miss Monroe had
often expressed the wish to give up, with-
draw, and even to die. On more than one
occasion in the past, when disappointed
and depressed, she had made suicide at-
tempts by using sedative drugs. On these
occasions she had called for help and had
been rescued.” .

This time she had mot been rescued.

It was her housekeeper, Mrs. Eunice
Murray, who first sensed that. something
was wrong. The light in Marilyn's bed-
room was atill burning at three that morn-
ing. She knocked. There was no answer.
She tried the door. It was locked.

She called Marilyn's psychiatrist, Dr.
Ralph Greenson. He hurried over and
broke in the window. When he found her,
she was dead. The telephone was still
burzing in her hand.

Now it is a year later. Mrs. Murray has
disappeared, she'd vanished shortly after
Marilyn's death. Pat Newcombe, Marilyn's
publicity agent, has left the Hollywood
scene and is now working in Washington,

On 2/21/62, FIELD visited subject in her sulte
(#1110) at the Hotel Con inental Hilton at 5:00 P.M. The visit
was arranged through New York friends and was based on his
former friendship with ARTHUR MILLER, her former husband. He
stayed about an-hour and she agreed to go with FIELD on
2/23/62 to Toluca, Mexico, for the day. Llu)

Subject arrived in Mexico on 2/19/62 from Mimi,
Her entry into Mexico reportedly was arranged by FRANKYSTNATRA
through former President MIGUEL ALEMAN, She-was-accompanied
by an agent, a hair dresser, and Anterior decorator. The
latter was identified as EUNICEVCHURCHILL, a widow about 65
from Los Angeles. CHURCHILL said her husband was a violent
trade unionist who was a functionary in the furniture workers
section of the AF of L Carpenters Union who died four or five
years ago. She identified him as a labor pioneer but did
not identify him as a leftist. She is a part time interior
decorator and ~iso claims to be an assistant of Dr. WEXLEY,
subject's analyst. qi) tos ;

by ARTHUR MILLER's marriage on 2/20/62 and feels like a "negated
sex symbol." CHURCHILL said that subject "has a lot of leftist
rubbed off fyom MILLER." Subject reportedly spent some time
with ROBERP*’KENNEDY at the home of the PE' ‘LAWFORDs in
Hollywood. Subject reportedly challenged Mr. KENNEDY on some
points proposed to her by MILLER, ae

Memorandum to Mr. E. 8. Miller
Re: Norman Mailer

A review in Time Magazine on 7/16/73, a Mike Wallace
television interview, a 7/22/73 New York Times book review by Pauline
Kael, and a Washington Post article dated 7/20/78 by Stephen Isaacs,
are all critical of Mailer for his unsubstantiated theorizing and for
engaging in "yellow" journalism.

ACTION:

For information only. No action is recommended regarding
Mailer's allegations. Any public statements by the FBI would merely
serve to feed the fires of publicity which Mailer is attempting to stoke.

On May 22, 1957, a confidential source, who has

Enver N. Mamedov, Chief Edipor of the magazine, "USSR,"

Faubio ers, that the visas for her, her husband,
Faubiofi/Bowers, her son, and her helper, not further #

identified, for travel to the Soviet Union were ready 6
and all they have to do to prepare for the trip is ob-
tain their travel vouchers from the American Express
Company. Ww

The source advised that Mamedov believed the
visas were not for any specified period of time and he
was certain that wher the Bowers arrived in the Soviet
Union they could extend the visas for as long a time as

3 is necessary. Mamedov suggested that the Bowers get in
7 touch with representatives of Voks and the Writers Union
at in the Soviet Union and these individuals would go out
rx of their way to help the Bowers. The source said that
Mrs. Bowers indicated that they would travel by ship and
would leave on August 16, 1957. YW

The source also advise# that Mi dov indicated
that he and his wife, Tamara Y/Mamedova/ had received an
invitation from an individual named Leg%Strasburg. Mrs.
Bowers said Strasburg was an important individual in the
New York theatre world and she strongly suggested that
Mamedov and his wife attend the affair. Mrs. Bowers said
that in any event Mamedov should attempt to attend

Hs affair inasmuch as the famed movie actress Marily: lonroe

fa ir would be present. The source advised that Mamedov was

sa Bo uncertain as to whether he could attend this affair since

MILLER said that he was not directed or misled into attending
CP meetings but rather that his growing up in the

depression and maturing in the nidst of war, and many

forces in his personal life led him for a time to seek

in Marxism a fount of authority, from which might

flow a stream of values, in which "I could wholly have
faith." The article further reflected that MILLER said

he came away from CP meetings convinced that his temperament
and viewpoints were diametrically opposed to those of.
Marxists.

An article in the July 11, 1956, edition of
the "New York Daily News," captioned "Vote Contempt Citation
Against ARTHUR MILLER" reflected that on July 10, 1956,
- that the HCUA voted a contempt citation against ARTHUR
MILLER.

An article in the July 26, 1956, edition of
the "New York Journal American" captioned "MILLER
Prosecution Studied by BROWNELL" reflected that on July 25,
1956, the United States House o:? Representatives voted
to cite MILLER for contempt of Congress and that the
Justice Department was deciding whether to prosecute
MILLER upon his return from Engiland where he was honeymooning
with actress MARILYN MONROE,

MARILYN MONROE'S DEATH ;
OeREEES

Walter Winchell's column in the July 8, 1963, issue of the "New
York Mirror" contained the statement, 'Photoplay's current article on the man who
'killed’ Marilyn practically names him."

In accordance with your request, there follows a brief review of the
information concerning Marilyn Monroe’ in the August, 1963, issue of 'Photoplay”
magazine. On page 10, a column by Winchell begins which states that Marilyn

\ Monroe's death "and the married man responsible for it was still getting considerabl
| Space in the foreign press, .Winchell says the author of the articles, which are
‘syndicated in papers on the Continent, claims he personally interviewed many a
}people in Hollywood and New York who were aware of Miss Monroe's problems and «©
ielaimed his sensational story was "big news." The "big news!’ according to Winchell,
jwas the name of the "married man" involved. Winchell says "many of us" on the
papers and in the magazines have hinted at the name, and the foreign correspondent
has jumped to conclusions, Winchell says there is no proof that the married man was
‘the villain, and many of Miss Monroe's friends now believe the overdose of sleeping
{pills was an accident, Winchell claims much of the foreign correspondent's story
was recognized by him as having appeared in ''Photoplay" and in the Hearst newspapers
for which Winchell writes. ; ; a
wor na it ‘ fi

The article concerning Miss Monroe begins on page 52 under the
caption, "One Year Later Marilyn Monroe's Killer Still At Large!" A review of this
article reveals Winchell's claim that it practically names the man who "killed"
Marilyn is nothing more than a @§@§§ plug for a cheap magazine. Actually, the
article comes ndway near identifying anyone. The only ''clues" to the identity of the
alleged married man who had an affair with Marilyn and "caused" her suicide when

‘he rejected her could apply to any number of prominent individuals.

These "clues" are: that the man is happily married and has children;
; that you can see him in a crowd and reach out and touch him; that he is a great man,
‘famous, known the world over; that he can be seen on television and in movie theaters;
, that people look up to him and consider his. wife ane children lucky; that he is mentioned
, almost daily in newspapers and magazinés; ind that*he. is considered a." onorable, ,
