In May of 1962, Marilyn made another memorable performance, but it wasn't for a movie. She sang a breathless version of "Happy Birthday" to President Kennedy at Madison Square Garden.
**(see the video just above posted by general CETSVids).
She was in the middle of work on her latest film, ironically titled "Something's Got to Give". Something did. On the night of August fourth, 1962, Marilyn Monroe died of a sleeping pill overdose.
Rumors have flown ever since. Affairs with the Kennedys, Mafia involvement in her death, murder, a cover-up, a conspiracy. Her death was listed as a probable suicide. Whatever the truth about that night, Marilyn Monroe was dead, at the age of thirty-six. Her light had shone brightly for many years, and it was extinguished suddenly. The world, in shock, began a search for answers that continues to this day. Answers that will never be found.
