Marilyn Monroe: "Let me love or let me die" Share:
During her lifetime, Marilyn Monroe had two names (the real one is Norma Jean Baker), a lot of epithets and even more men.
But she aimed at the most inaccessible goal.
And therefore the most attractive.
Perhaps only one person out of all the United States could not belong to the predator Marilyn.
She was eager to win the president.
And she succeeded.
The deal with fate was made, but life is always at stake in such bets.
Text: Natalia Turovskaya "Donot worry, but worry!"
When once again Jacqueline Kennedy found "accidentally" forgotten women's stockings on the marital bed, she asked her husband as calmly as possible: "Do you know whose these are, John?
It doesnot seem to be mine"...
And received only a charming boyish smile in response.
She was already used to such "gifts".
The phone rang in the next room.
Jacqueline picked up the phone and immediately recognized HER voice.
This woman has been harassing her with phone calls for a long time, but today she seems to have already crossed the last line: "Mrs. Kennedy , it seems to be high time for you to pack your things and get the hell out of this house.
After all, we both know perfectly well who the real first lady is."
Jacqueline slammed down the phone in a rage and resolutely returned to the bedroom.
"That's it, John, I've had enough!
Your Hollywood whore called again!
I'll give you a divorce, and you can live openly.
I'm fed up with this pretense, okay?! "
- " What nonsense, Jackie, calm down.
I promise you that I will break up with this woman.
Believe me, I've been tired of her for a long time, I only need you."
The president has fulfilled his promise.
But not immediately.
The motto of his mistress was "Not to worry, but to worry!"
And she knew how to do it.
No other woman in the world could repeat this.
I've never understood the expression "sex symbol".
A symbol is a thing, after all…
I donot like being a thing.
But if it is meant to be a symbol, it is better to be a symbol of sex than of anything else.
Marilyn Monroe
Gentlemen who prefer blondes They met in 1954, when John Fitzgerald Kennedy was still only a senator from Massachusetts.
Actor Peter Lawford, who successfully married Kennedy's sister Patricia, tried very hard to become his own in the powerful Kennedy clan.
It was not difficult for him to please a promising relative in "amorous" affairs, to which he was very eager, for him.
Peter was "his boyfriend" in Hollywood and more than once took John out to have fun with young artists.
But this time Lawford has prepared a grand surprise.
The most piquant was the fact that the" surprise " was supposed to appear during a party in honor of the newly born senator in front of his wife Jacqueline.
"Who will it be, Pete?
Do I know her?" - the hero of the occasion was burning with curiosity.
But Lawford just waved it away and kept his eyes on the door.
When Marilyn Monroe appeared on the doorstep with her second husband, baseball star Joe DiMaggio, Peter gave Kennedy a sign.
The blonde, who flashed brightly in the movie "Niagara", has already managed to drive more than one man crazy.
Kennedy responded to the guest's studying immodest look with a retaliatory, attacking one.
Jacqueline didnot get any attention that night.
All evening, her windy husband hung around Monroe, not stopping to pour her favorite Piper Heidsieck champagne into her glass.
Marilyn was laughing.
DiMaggio was jealous and even made a scandal.
But... the angry baseball player went home alone, and his wife did not want to leave the party.
Everyone who was present that evening at the country house of Peter Lawford witnessed the beginning of the most high profile novel of the twentieth century.
But the two of them didnot seem to pay any attention to those around them.
Marilyn later admitted to her close friend Amy Green that she had dreamed of meeting a man like John Kennedy since she was 15 years old.
Soon they could not live without each other for a single day, meeting now at Lawford's house, then in expensive hotels.
From happiness, Marilyn wrote naive children's poems:
"Life, you push me in different directions.
I come alive from the cold, strong as a spider's web in the wind.
I'm reaching down, but I'm still holding on... "
She was touched by a tree broken by a tornado.
She felt sorry for stray dogs, and hung out feeders for birds.
The sincerity and spontaneity of a woman who was a sex symbol for millions amused her lover.
Evil tongues whispered to Kennedy that the actress's past was far from perfect: a crazy mother, an orphanage, work at a military factory, work as a model... and the road to Hollywood was, they say, paved through the bed of more than one producer.
Charlie Chaplin Jr., the millionaire Henry Rosenfeld, and the rich Johnny Hyde managed to visit her lovers, but...
What did it matter if she was with him now?
I have never betrayed those I loved.
Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn enjoyed the novel and made the most rosy plans for the future.
One of her successful films of that time was called "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes".
But in life, she had to make sure of another bitter truth: they marry brunettes.
And since Kennedy was in no hurry to divorce Jacqueline, Monroe decided to break up with her lover.
She wholeheartedly wanted to get away from the image of a "sexy blonde" and create her own family.
The family that she never had and that she always missed so much.
"Candle in the wind" The third desperate attempt to "live like everyone else" for Marilyn Monroe was her marriage to the famous playwright Arthur Miller.
Journalists dubbed their connection "the union of spirit and body".
And the actress herself later recalled this: "He has a stronger mind than any of the men I knew.
He understands my desire for self improvement."
At that time, Monroe refused many offers to the cinema, where they wanted to once again exploit her image of baby doll.
All her free time she studied in the studio of Mikhail Chekhov and dreamed of playing no less than Grushenka in The Brothers Karamazov.
But most importantly, she dreamed of becoming a mother, and Arthur Miller is the only man who also wanted a child together.
Children, especially girls, should always be told that they are beautiful and that everyone loves them.
If I have a daughter, I will always tell her that she is beautiful, I will comb her hair until it shines and I will not leave her alone for a minute.
Marilyn Monroe
But, alas, both of Marilyn's pregnancies ended in miscarriages.
To get his wife out of depression, her husband took her to the best psychotherapists.
The maid Lena Pepitone told the newspaper that in between psychotherapy sessions and filming in New York, " Mrs. Miller abused champagne, constantly played Frank Sinatra records, refused to take a bath and ate in bed, wiping her hands directly on the sheets."
"Life has passed like a candle in the wind" - Marilyn will initially dedicate her masterpiece to Elton John.
But after the death of Princess Diana, he will rewrite the dedication to Lady Di.
The fact remains that Monroe, who was idolized all over the world, felt lonely and unhappy.
The marriage with Arthur Miller was the longest of Marilyn's marriages, but on January 20, 1961, they officially divorced with the wording "did not get along".
Monroe tried to forget herself by having an affair with Yves Montand, then with Frank Sinatra, but no one could replace John Kennedy for her.
The passion flared up with a new force when he put up his candidacy for the presidency.
One day, a phone call rang in her apartment: "Hello, baby! " a familiar male voice with a charming Boston accent sounded on the phone.
I'm going to become the president of America, but I canot cope without you.
Will you support me in the election race?"
Marilyn didnot take long to beg.
Just think, huge penalties to film companies with which she is bound by contracts.
After all, her participation in the election campaign of her lover guaranteed him success!
Every second man in the States dreamed of spending the night with Monroe, and every second woman aspired to be like her in everything.
She traveled after Kennedy with concerts, urging the "electorate" to vote for the candidate from the Democratic Party.
And when Kennedy became the 35th president of the United States, Marilyn was sure that this victory rightfully belongs to her.
It remained only to take the place of the first lady.
Now they met secretly at the Beverly Hills Hotel or on board the presidential plane.
But soon Monroe bought a house in Los Angeles to be closer to her beloved.
Often, after drinking an extra glass of champagne, Marilyn chatted too much at social events, sharing her impressions of the president and hinting that his behavior in bed was "very democratic".
She could call the White House at any time and demand an immediate meeting from Kennedy, because she " terribly lacks love."
The desire to become the president's wife, in the end, became almost manic.
When Monroe's personal psychotherapist suspected that there was something wrong, his patient's state of mind was terrible.
And the inheritance of the actress was, to put it mildly, not good: the great grandfather hanged himself, the grandmother died in a madhouse, where her mother also lived until the end of her days.
Of course, Kennedy did not want to be involved in a scandal at all and considered it prudent to keep Monroe at a distance.
He even introduced her to his brother Robert, who was a huge success with women, in the hope that the frantic mistress would turn her attention to him.
In vain.
In an interview with journalists, John F. Kennedy admitted that " love is not his word."
Poor Marilyn refused to believe it.
By the beginning of 1962, Monroe's psyche was broken by depression, alcohol and tranquilizers.
She visited a therapist six times a week, without sleeping pills, she could not sleep anymore.
"My thoughts are spinning, and my brain is being drilled with a quiet and relentless stream.
While I'm not gone, let the whiteness of the line be obscured by blackness. "
Her poems are no longer sad, they are ominous.
Kennedy did not answer the calls of his mistress and did not want to see her again.
On the eve of John F. Kennedy's 45th birthday, Marilyn with great difficulty managed to bribe a White House employee to give the president her gift: a gold Rolex watch with an engraving "To John with love from Marilyn" and a desperate inscription on the box "Let me love or let me die".
Kennedy asked the employee to throw away the watch and destroy the box.
And yet, on May 19, Marilyn arrived at Madison Square Garden, where a gala concert was being prepared to celebrate the birthday of the president of America.
She ordered a luxurious dress from Jean Louis, who once created the famous toilet for Marlene Dietrich.
The outfit was made of transparent material, studded with sequins, and tightly fitted Marilyn's perfect figure.
There was no underwear under the dress.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Marilyn Monroe is late!" announced the entertainer, the same Peter Lawford.
Throwing off her ermine jacket, Marilyn sang Happy Birthday, Mister President.
And there was not a man in the audience at that moment who would not envy John Kennedy.
"After such a congratulation, I can no longer engage in politics!" said the shocked birthday boy.
Jacqueline Kennedy was not in the audience.
She was a wise woman and understood when to stay in the shadows so as not to be publicly humiliated.
The defiant performance was the last point in the novel.
That evening, in the apartments of the Carlisle Hotel, Kennedy announced to Marilyn Monroe that their relationship was over forever.
All my life I belonged only to the viewer.
Not because I was great, but because no one else needed me.
Marilyn Monroe
On August 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her own bedroom.
She was lying in bed naked, with a telephone receiver in her hand.
Who she called before her death remained a mystery, since the recording of this conversation mysteriously disappeared from the telephone exchange.
The official version of her death was suicide due to an overdose of sleeping pills.
Among the unofficial ones — a murder and an accident due to the mistake of a psychotherapist who prescribed too strong drugs.
None of them has been proven to this day.
Marilyn Monroe's funeral was organized by her second husband Joe DiMaggio.
Several thousand of her fans saw off the actress on her last journey.
John F. Kennedy was not among them.
In November 1963, he followed Marilyn to where they donot come back from...
