Marilyn had over 400 books in her private library (subjects ranged from literature to drama and science), went to school to study drama (after she had become famous), and that they have found tapes of Marilyn talking and taking notes?

The tapes got auctioned away in 1999. Her dress that she wore when performing the song "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" was bought for 1.5 million dollars at the same auction.

Answer: My journey ends here

The house was Spanish inspired, and was located in Brentwood, California. She also had an apartment on the 13th floor of 444 West 57th Street in Manhattan where she spent most of her time.

Her death is a mystery, and we will probably never find out. Some say it was an accident, and others say it was suicide. Some even say that the CIA killed her because of her relationship with the Kennedys.

The official cause of Marilyn's death is overdose.
Marilyn is buried at the Westwood Memorial Park at Los Angeles.

Hopefully, Marilyn has found peace in death that was never truly hers in life.
