Question
Hi Sabine, tired of googling, maybe you can help.

Is Pat Newcomb still alive and did she ever go on record regarding her last day with M?

When was M's 1962 trip to Mexico and who went with her?  Also, when were the 1962 Golden Globes?

Can you identify the photographer for either of these sessions?

Might you list your opinion of her top 3 most and least respectable biographers?  For example, I've heard Spoto "Yay" and Mailer "Nay" and would like to narrow the field.

Have you seen Wiener's "Hollywood Farewell" book and is it worth the $2000+ asking price?  Will reprints of this be made available?

Thanks ever so,
RS

Answer
Hello Raina

Your questions will take me a little effort to answer.

1, As far as a know, Pat newcomb is still alive. She did speak to various authors before but mantained that there's little to tell, especially about Marilyn's last day. It was just an ordinary boring day and not much happened. I tend to agree. I don't think she talks about it now. She would not be an easy person to get an interview with.

2,Marilyn's Trip to mexico was in february of 1962. She had Pat newcomb, housekeeper Eunice Murray and her hairdresser with her. The Golden Globes took place March 5th 1962.

3,Nice videos!!!!! Thank you. The "floppy hat" session took place in January 1957. It was actually made for a women's magazine for an Easter edition. It was great to see it in this video. Thanks again.
The photographer escapes me right now. I think his last name is Ross. If you e-mail me at a later date i can probobly get more information for you. (Zmart4ever@yahoo.com)

4, The "army blanket photos" were taken by Andre de Dienes in the summer of 1946. Another fabulous video.

5, As far as Authors go. Donald Spoto is a decent one but there are several problems. He get's some of his Information wrong and he believes in the rediculous "killer enema theory". That's not good in my book. Norman Mailer is ok but i would not recommend him as any kind of authority on Marilyn's true Life.
I prefer Barbara Leaming.
Anthony summers takes a lot of Information from notorious con-man Robert Slatzer and so does Wolf (he's the worst in my opinion).
I also don't trust anything coming from anybody claiming they've "heard audio tapes" etc. Complete hear-say.

6, No book is worth $2000. That's rediculous.


Hope i could help    ~Sabine~
