London,
(ANI):
Marilyn
Monroe
was
a
world
famous
heartthrob,
but
was
also
an
enigma,
her
life
and
death
shrouded
in
secrecy.
But
47
years
after
her
death,
some
secrets
have
been
revealed.
Daniel
and
Joan
Greenson,
children
of
Dr
Ralph
Greenson,
threw
light
on
the
star"s
troubled
life.
After
being
diagnosed
with
'paranoia" and
'extreme
exhaustion"
in
1960
and
divorcing
from
then
husband
Arthur
Miller
in
1961,
she
was
committed
by
Kris
to
the
Payne
Whitney
psychiatric
clinic.
A
desperate
Greenson
was
suggested
by
colleague
Milton
Wexler
that
she
spend
as
much
time
as
possible
at
Greenson"s
home
so
as
to
create
the
environment
that
she"d
lacked
as
a
child.
"I
felt
it
would
alleviate
her
separation
anxiety
if
she
knew
she
had
a
place
to
return
to,"
Wexler
later
explained.
Gradually
Monroe
seemed
to
heal
as
she
spent
more
time
with
the
family,
including
Joan,
his
daughter.
But
there
were
times,
when
she
was
at
her
worst
–
heavily
drugged,
incoherent
and
distraught.
"She
talked
about
being
a
waif,
that
she
was
ugly,
that
people
were
only
nice
to
her
for
what
they
could
get
from
her,"
Daniel
recalls.
'She
said
life
wasn"t
worth
living
any
more."
On
the
day
of
her
death,
at
3am,
Murray,
her
live
in
companion
had
an
uneasy
feeling
that
something
was
wrong
and
went
to
check
on
Marilyn
–
she
found
the
bedroom
door
locked,
light
on
and
the
telephone
cord
under
the
door,
all
of
which
were
highly
unusual
(after
the
psychiatric
clinic,
she
couldn"t
abide
being
locked
in).
She
called
Greenson,
who
rushed
over
and
broke
into
a
side
window.
Marilyn
had
been
dead
for
some
time;
he
had
to
prise
the
telephone
from
her
hand.
While
Greenson
always
felt
that
Monroe
had
died
accidentally,
Daniel
suspects
Marilyn
deliberately
committed
suicide.
After
her
death,
many
accused
Greenson
of
killing
her.
"Rich
and
famous
people
need
the
therapist
24
hours
a
day
and
they
are
insatiable,"
he
wrote
in
an
essay,
which
was
the
only
time
he
mentioned
her."These
patients
are
seductive."
