Listen for how Marilyn handles and responds to that question.
Pure dignity.

Unfortunately, she didn't live long enough for that to happen to her...

Yes, very sad.

There was certainly some sort of cover up.

There's the 'official' record of an ambulance collecting her body at a stated time.

I remember the owner of a private ambulance company stating that one of his ambulances actually collected her a lot earlier.

My own feeling is that, if she died of an overdose, it was an accidental one rather than a deliberate suicide.

Her 'involvement' with well-known people led to the need for the cover up...

I say more murdered than suicide. What possible reason she would have wanted to take her own life at 36 ?

As Colin said, it could have been accidental. A bit of booze, some pills.

There's a new netflix biopic (or at least a novel adaptation) about her and the trailer looks incredible (yet very sad, too)!

The "Some Like It Hot" scene made me pausing it in disbelieve, cause it looks so much like the real deal... Miss de Armas seems to nail the role! Wouldn't it be crazy if "Elvis" (Butler) won the male main category and "Marilyn" (de Armas) won the female main category at the next Academy Awards? :mrgreen:

I'd have bought that for $100, but not the price it eventually went for.
