B&F 4-08 am Bin. “g2q4-- | ~ mess recently back from The Wid - Movie people and others i! That Princess Soraya “even with her ex-husband, the S! when she announced plans for a on the anniversary of their divorce. It was in March, 1958, that Soraya was exiled from Iran. The deal to make a movie with producer de Laurentiis was announced in Rome, March 15, 1963. ° Her friends also spread the “news” that Soraya is convinced she was divorced not because che couldn’t bear children—but because the Shah fell out of love with ber. Doctors, they added, assured Soraya that a minor operation would enable her to be- come a mother. - * «Long Deep Sigh Dept.: We note that Maureen O’Hara’s beautiful eighteen-year- old daughter Bronwyn appears with Maureen in Warner's epic “Spencer's Mountain.” O, dear. It seems like only a few Yesterdays Ago that Charles Laughton presented the eighteen-year-old Maureen in “Jamaica Inn.” of Some Hollywood folks are still upset over Hedda Hopper’s book which “tells all” One actress complained: “Imagine writing our memoirs instead of her own!” : Tur End And, if it became public knowledge, what would happen to bis work? Would he be besmirched by scandal just when his life’s dream was close to the brink of coming truce? He'd better see Marilyn less. He'd better try to stop seeing her altogether. - And ‘the more he tried to stop seeing her, the more desperate Marilyn became. There were the phone calls, the threats, the pills again. He didn't make him almost hate her. Finally, on a Sunday night August 5, 1962, Marilyn tried again. . She epoke to him on the phone. “Don't leave me,” she pleaded. . “Jr’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 Jose 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 a close friend of hers, a friend who knew all about the romance. . “He won't ‘take me back,” she cried. _ “He said bell never come back.” The friend told ber, “Tl come over and talk to you.” . But Marilyn didn’t want anyone to sce her the way ehe Jooked. Her eyes were awollen and red. She'd Jet her blonde hair grow out ontil the dark roots showed. Her face clearly showed the sigus of drinking and pills. ; . “No,” she eaid, “I've taken a sleeping , pill. P'll just go to sleep.” But ahe couldn’t sleep—and next te believe her, all she did was sleep, she would feel better. She cou’ dream about her career, her fame. Bi she had no career. Her studio had firea ber. Well, she could dream that somebody loved 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. “Maybe she’s faking .. - First, he thought: J/ this gets out I'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’ get in- volved—that he was a married man. He hung up. Jt 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 oficial 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 not been rescued. It was her housekeeper, Mrs. Eunice Murray, who first sensed that. something was wrong. The light in Marilyn’s bed- room was still 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 atill buzzing 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, D.C. Joe DiMaggio, her second husband, has remained faithful to her memory—he has a smal] bouquet of roses placed on her crypt every week. ; But he is not the only one who is faith- ful to Marilyn today. There is atill the man. The man who killed Marilyn. He is the man they can never arrest. He is the man who is still at-large. He is the man who is living the death she #0 quickly found. We have lost her, but so bas he. Wherever he goes, whatever he touches, whomever he sees; he thinks of Marilyn. His guilt never leaves him, his fear has become his friend. For once, long ago, before all this, he was an honorable man. But he had made a fatal mistake. And now he is lost—not to al] the world—but to himself. —_ Some people know who he is. Will they ever reveal it publicly? Does his wife know? Would she tell? And he himself, wil) his guilt pry his tongue loose? You can see him in a crowd. You can reach out and touch him... . And you will never know that he is the man who killed Marilyn Monroe. And he js the man who killed himself. “—MartHs Donapson SAMPLE »JNDEPENDE PUTZLE bebe Choperd (] taba Shorwee [) — sbash Holdeng”)] Mem Bopect [) tab They marred ceeme ty OM of tame pLAART BIOlSIS|ElT] _ THIS SAMPLE IS WORKED OUT FOR A Scotch version of Thomas is 1 plus DOG, plus GET, equals the an: THOMAS DOGGET.
