Listen "Marilyn Monroe: The Last Calls — Legend vs. Record"
Episode Synopsis
Did you know some say Marilyn Monroe phoned both Kennedys hours before she died? On August 4, 1962, at 12305 Fifth Helena Drive, the legend begins with late-night calls about “sensitive matters.” Then the details blur: a housekeeper’s shifting timeline (midnight, then 3 a.m., then revised), hours before police were called, and an allegedly missing diary. When investigators arrived, accounts describe Monroe face-down, phone in hand, barbiturate bottles nearby—yet some summaries note no water glass. The official ruling was overdose. The stories that came after rarely sat still.In this episode, we critique the folklore versus the record: where each claim originates, how the timeline moves depending on who’s telling it, and why a single night became a magnet for power, secrecy, and projection. We don’t diagnose or deliver verdicts—we examine sources, gaps, and the image that won’t fade: a phone off the cradle and a timeline that refuses to lock.
