An investigator into the drug overdose death of
Marilyn Monroe 43 years ago Friday still is not convinced she killed
herself.
John W. Miner, who investigated Monroe's death as a Los Angeles County
prosecutor, claims Monroe's psychologist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, played him
secret audio tapes made by the star during one of her therapy sessions
shortly before her death. A key revelation of the alleged tapes, according
to Miner, is that Monroe was not depressed and was actively planning for
to become a serious, Shakespearean actress.
"Here is a person stigmatized
by the diagnosis of suicide, when that is an absolutely
wrong, false, erroneous
diagnosis," Miner said.
Miner says he took careful, hand-written notes of the tapes and later
produced a near-exact transcript. There is no proof Miner's claims are
true, since Dr. Greenson is now dead and no one else claims to have heard
the tape.
"You are the only person who will ever know the most private, the most
secret thoughts of Marilyn Monroe," she allegedly told her doctor.
In Miner's transcript, Monroe discussed her plans to pursue
Shakespeare.
"I've read all of Shakespeare and practiced a lot of lines. I am going
to do Juliet first," Marilyn Monroe allegedly said on the tape. "Don't
laugh. What, with what makeup, costume and camera can do, my acting will
create a Juliet who is 14, an innocent virgin."
"No reasonable person could possibly think that the person who made
those tapes killed herself," Miner said.
She also may have recorded her feelings about breaking off her romance
with Robert Kennedy.
"There is no room in my life for him," she allegedly said. "I guess I
don't have the courage to face up
to it and hurt him. I want someone else to tell him it's
over. I tried to get the president to do it, but I couldn't reach
him."

43年前，玛丽莲·梦露因服用过量安眠药而离开人世。上周五（8月5日），一位调查人员经过调查仍然不相信玛丽莲·梦露是自杀的。
曾负责调查梦露死因的洛山矶前检察官约翰·W·米诺声称，梦露的心理医生拉尔夫·格林森曾给他播放过梦露在去世前不久接受心理治疗时的秘密录音带。米诺表示，录音带的内容说明了非常重要的一点：梦露当时并不沮丧，而且她正在积极做准备，希望能够成为一位技艺精湛的演员，出演莎士比亚作品中的女主角。
米诺说：“梦露被人诬蔑说是自杀，当时的诊断是完全错误的。”
米诺表示，他根据录音带的内容仔细做了一份笔记，之后还抄写了一份几乎一模一样的副本。没有证据证明米诺所说的是真实的，因为格林森医生已经去世，除米诺之外再无他人听过这盘录音带。
据说，梦露曾经对她的医生说：“只有你才知道玛丽莲·梦露最隐私、最秘密的想法。”
在米诺抄写的副本中，梦露讲述了她计划出演莎士比亚作品的想法。
据说，玛丽莲·梦露在录音带中这样说：“我读过莎士比亚所有作品，对其中很多诗句耳熟能详。我首先准备演朱丽叶，不要笑我。通过化妆、服装和摄像技术，我完全可以塑造一个14岁时的清纯少女朱丽叶。”
米诺说：“正常的人都不可能认为，说出这样的话的人会自杀。”
她可能还在录音带中讲述了自己与罗伯特·肯尼迪分手的感觉。
据说她是这样说的：“我的生命中没有属于他的空间，我想我没勇气面对这一切，也不想伤害他。我希望别人可以告诉他我们之间结束了。我试过让总统先生去告诉他，但是我没能和他联系上。”
