What Blonde Made Up About Marilyn Monroe’s Life

Her romance with younger Chaplin ended when he discovered Monroe tucked into mattress together with his brother Sydney, however they remained shut pals for the remainder of her life, James instructed Goddess writer Summers.

She met Robinson via Chaplin, James mentioned, they usually had a fling whereas she was making 1953’s Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and he was attempting to make it as an actor. (A number of years later Robinson was a cowboy in her film Bus Stop and the murderer hiding within the cake in Some Like It Hot.) 

“We three men were a sort of trio,” James recalled, “and Marilyn saw us all occasionally, together or separately, for the rest of her life. They were all depressive, Marilyn, Charlie and Eddy, and they would hunt each other down when things were bad…But Charlie and Eddy were suicidal, more so than Marilyn. They couldn’t make it on their own, and they couldn’t deal with their famous names. Sometimes it was Marilyn who literally kept them alive.”

As a boy, Chaplin witnessed his dad and mom’ nasty custody battle and he ended up raised primarily by his mom, Lita Grey, the second of his father’s 4 wives. He died of a pulmonary embolism at 42 in March 1968. Robinson suffered a deadly coronary heart assault at 40 in February 1970.
