Marilyn, Amy, and Benazir ...


Dr. S. David Bernstein has just come with his conclusion about Marilyn Monroe's death ...

It would be 50 years, next month, to the death of the ultimate sex symbol. Almost everyone has an opinion about what happened that fateful night, August 1962: Did the vulnerable actress try to kill herself over her obsession with then President J.F.K. and his brother R.F.K.? Was it just an accidental overdose? Or - what she killed by ..The FBI? Mafia? ..

Conspiracy theories have lives of their own. Any attempt to argue against them, just fuels them more.

The latest revelation by Dr. Bernstein claims to be a proof, that Marilyn didn't have suicide on her mind a day before her death! Why? 


Because of a check, signed by her. Yes! The actress purchased a white chest of drawers worth $228.80 just 24 hours before her death. Bernstein argues that people who decide to take their own lives engage in shopping sprees. Purchasing drawers - say Bernstein - proves that Marilyn intended to use them. That means, she planned to be around ...

It reminds me of my interview with Linda Tripp. Remember "The Most Hated Woman in America" (way before Casey Anthony)? Tripp was the White-House employee who befriended Monica Lewinsky and taped details about her affair with then President Bill Clinton. 


I asked her why she hated Bill Clinton that much. Tripp paused. Then she said: "I was Vinct Forst's assistant ... I was the last person who saw him alive ..." Forst was a top Clinton's aide who was found dead, after reportedly shooting himself. It triggered a lot of conspiracy theories. Tripp continued: "He asked me to get him a hamburger for lunch. It was his usual order. He ate it and left the office ...Few hours later - he was found dead. Daphne, a person who thinks about death would not order a hamburger ..."

While spending time with musician Amy Winehouse, it was clear to me that this talented girl had so many demons to deal with. She shared with me painful moments. Yet - there were moment of self-adoration. She talked about to be "living forever" like other musicians who died young.  Yet - she was full of life and dreams. But a year ago - she was found dead, with 3 empty bottles of Vodka, next to her body. My book "Saving Amy" which is based on the 6 months I had spent with her and her family, may explain more.


And my beloved friend Benazir Bhutto was a loving mother. She had a goal: To return to Pakistan and become its leader once again. Yet - the timing she chose had red flags all over it.  It was so risky that it had been viewed by some of my friends as "suicidal." Sadly - she was assassinated on December 27th, 2007. You may understand more about Benazir's state of mind, during her last years, in my book "My Benazir."
