A Day in the Life of Marilyn Monroe Quiz

Answer: Marilyn Monroe

The death of Marilyn Monroe was reported to police in the early hours of the morning and they proceeded to her house, where they found her body. The detective later stated that he thought that the scene that they found appeared to have been prearranged.

Answer: President Kennedy

Marilyn Monroe did sing "Happy Birthday Mr. President" in a suggestive manner in her whispy voice. She also had a photo shoot with Dean Martin looking on where she shucked her bathing costume in the pool before climbing out. She was widely considered the sexiest woman in America at the time.

Answer: All of these

Eunice Murray, the housemaid, checked on Marilyn at 10:00 PM but the door was closed and she didn't want to disturb her. At midnight, she saw the light still on and knocked but got no answer. She called Dr. Greenson, Marilyn's psychiatrist, who saw her body through the window and broke into the room, only to find her dead.

Answer: Joe DiMaggio

Joe DiMaggio eloped with Marilyn Monroe but their marriage was tempestuous and led to divorce. She later married Arthur Miller. After her divorce from Miller, she and Joe reunited and became close friends. Joe DiMaggio Jr., Marilyn's stepson, called her the day she died and he claimed that she was planning to remarry Joe DiMaggio and seemed happy and lucid.

Answer: No trace of Nembutal was found in the victim's stomach

Since Nembutal was shown to be the pills in the bottle beside Marilyn's body, the report that no traces of Nembutal could be found in the victim's stomach or intestine was suspicious. There was light bruising on her body but no knife or gunshot wounds.

The moth's relevance can be found in the "Silence of the Lambs", another story. Lividity of the body was found on the victim's back, which was suspicious since she had been found lying face down.

Answer: Jacobs had left a concert at 10:30 PM after a phone call

Arthur P. Jacobs, Marilyn's agent, had been attending a concert at the Hollywood Bowl on the night Marilyn died. He had rushed from his seat after receiving a call at 10:30 PM, wherein he received notice that Marilyn had suffered an overdose. This calls into question the reported sequence of events.

Answer: Marilyn had been having an affair with Robert Kennedy

Released FBI reports show that Marilyn had been having an affair with Bobby Kennedy and that he had promised to leave his wife and marry her. However, she realized that he had no intentions of doing so and Marilyn had made threats to make the affair public.

Answer: Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery

Marilyn is buried in Corridor of Memories #24, Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles. Joe DiMaggio arranged the funeral and Lee Strasbourg delivered the eulogy. Her casket was bronze and only 31 mourners were allowed to attend.

Answer: Marilyn knew her killers

June DiMaggio revealed that her mother had been on the telephone with Marilyn on the day she died and that Marilyn had uttered her killer's name. Apparently her mother was unwilling to reveal that name even when questioned by the FBI. In fact, she died refusing to ever tell her family the killer's identity for fear of retaliation.

Answer: All the slides and notes from the autopsy had disappeared

After the autopsy report, which was never made public, all the slides and photographs of the autopsy mysteriously disappeared. Although reluctant, Dr. Noguchi, the pathologist, had no alternative but to sign his report stating that Marilyn had swallowed an overdose which led to her death. It was his contention that a suppository of Nembutal may have been administered.
