Marilyn Monroe

darren ... i'm a huge fan and have done plenty of research . it can't be proved but the most likely scenario is she died of an overdose (she  had a few near misses in the past ) and the delays to a search , moved body , etc,  is a result of the kennedy/ fbi  people ensuring there was no linking evidence to them  when the body was found .
i mention the moved body as key .some  doctors and theorists  said the position she was found in proved it . this does not prove murder , they probably rolled her to ensure no suicide note was hidden underneath her .
her affair with both the kennedys was well known in ' the circles ' . on its own , yes , could have been enough motive to bump her off but more significantly she was at the time clinging on to a revival of her career and was realistically facing rejection on a personal and professional level .
having been through numerous foster parents , a mother detained due to mental health , a father who refused to acknowledge her , a string of dubious flings resulting in abortions and miscarriages  and constant fear she was not fit to be a serious actress it is amazing she lived to her age at all .
film wise . watch gentlemen prefer blondes as a great example of her as a comedy actress. also the misfits as a serious role whilst her whole life untangled . book wise ; there are so many so start with the least sensational titles .yes , you need photos . she held a camera shot like no other . 
it still makes me shake my head in despair when the likes of amanda holden are described as ' stars ' and ' beautiful ' ....

interesting winsor knot, it's a plausible theory she was bumped off but the previous overdoses would be convenient for anyone who wanted to drug her.

darren,
         she would have been an incredibly unreliable witness. there was also , apparently , basic  filmed bits of ' unseen ' meetings with her and others . it is , of course , the main focus of people but i feel slightly annoyed as a fan ....
          marilyn made loads of movies , had loads of great still photos ( the images of the time are amazingly modern  ) , is still iconic to the highest imitated level ( hello , madonna ) and yet all many can remember is her death .
         lets  look at her in  life instead .

i'll pop it to the  top again ...simply the sexiest woman we have ever seen....

Really nice documentary telling the story of her life.
