Features: On August 5, 1962, the famous Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe died after taking an overdose of tranquilizers. For decades, the mystery of her death has puzzled the world. As one of the most famous actresses of her time, she lived in an era where she was manipulated, an era where no one could help themselves, a chaotic and lost era. In 1975, the U.S. Freedom of Information Act was officially implemented, and some little-known secret archives were made public. This book reproduces records from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation about two of the most important periods in Marilyn's life: the period when her husband Arthur Miller was interrogated by the House Un-American Activities Committee and the period of her close association with the Kennedy family. Of course, the story does not stop at discussing the mystery of Marilyn's death. It also includes Arthur Miller's investigation by the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1956-1957, an event that nearly spanned the entire 1950s.
