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 seemed to have power, a chaotic and lost era. In 1975, the U.S. Freedom of Information Act was formally implemented, and some little-known secret archives were made public. This book recreates the records of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation about two important periods of Marilyn's life: the period when her husband Arthur Miller was questioned by the House Un-American Activities Committee and the time she had close ties 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.
