Goodnight Hollywood

Good Night, Hollywood is a critical look at the events leading up to the death of Marilyn Monroe. For years, the notion that she killed herself has floated round the public's eye due to this idea being falsely portrayed by her last known personal psychiatrist. This book details the absurdity of his claims and takes an in-depth look at the details of circumstances that surrounded her last days by outlining statements made by witnesses and by some of the closest people in her life. Many of these statements have been overlooked or outright ignored to the detriment of the truth.I attempt to reveal a reality much closer to the truth by examining these disregarded statements by witnesses who claim to be in the know, a review of her autopsy report, and the dissecting of the institutions of power that surrounded Marilyn Monroe. All of those reasons combined played a significant role in her life and untimely demise.Unlike many other theories that attempt to solve the case by assigning blame to one individual or one group of people, this book intertwines the characters in her life to show how they are all connected. Just like a row of dominoes, once the first domino falls, it is inevitable that they will all fall.What is left in the aftermath is an early end to a beloved movie star and a public that is duped into swallowing a false story that protects the guilty while reinforcing the perils of drug dependency and the Hollywood lifestyle.
