[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 200108, member: 7"] One thing that's always remained fuzzy in my mind is Monroe's allegedly close friendship with B-movie wannabe, Jeanne Carmen. According to Carmen, she had a "dangerously close friendship with Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys" during the late fifties and early sixties. After Monroe's death in 1962, Carmen says that mobster Johnny Rosselli urged her to flee from Hollywood. Fearing her life was in danger, Carmen bailed to Arizona, where the ditched her glamorous image, and ended up marrying and raising three children. This has always baffled me. I've read and studied a lot about Marilyn in my time (years ago, I fed myself with her biographies and films), and I've rarely, if ever, heard any references made towards Jeanne Carmen in the midst. Now, I'm not saying that Carmen's lying flat out, but I'd be apt to say she's certainly fabricating the story she's presented. There's a few documentaries on Monroe that Carmen pops up in, usually the ones centering specifically around theories of her death, and the Kennedy family's possible involvement in it. I just get the unction that Carmen's whizzing her way into these documentaries to cash-in on any kind of recognition she can get off of Monroe and the Kennedys. What do you all think? Am I missing something? Could it be that I'm misjudging Jeanne Carmen?
