Question
all books on marilyn monroe seem to agree there were recording devices in her home as well as on her phone.  in all years that have past, have any real recordings come to light.  I am especially interested in the recordings refered to in "Marilyn's Last Words" by Matthew smith

Answer
Hi Bridgette,

Thanks for the question! I’ve never read the Matthew Smith book so I’m not sure which recordings he refers to specifically, but I have heard several rumors that recordings of Marilyn’s phone and/or with JFK were made. As far as I know, though, no such recordings have ever surfaced. So for now, those rumors remain rumors.

Take care!
Elisa

Expertise

I can answer questions pertaining to almost all aspects of Marilyn’s life and career. I’m familiar with her movies, training, and accomplishments and can also field inquiries regarding her childhood, relationships (romantic, friendships and otherwise), emotional and medical ailments, and what she was like in general.

Experience

I’ve been a Marilyn Monroe fan since the early 1980s and grew up watching her films on television. I’ve spent countless hours researching her and have built up an extensive library on all things Marilyn. As a Southern California native, I have been able to easily visit and photograph many of the sites that played important roles in Marilyn’s life, such as houses, studios, restaurants, her grave, and so on. Furthermore, I have visited sites in San Diego, Reno/Dayton, and New York City that were homes or filming sites—allowing me to retrace many of Marilyn’s steps, literally.
