What Books that are not consider legitimate sources and why: These books are here due to the people behind them being known as notorious MM liars and not true friends of Marilyn and are simply fueling further myths and conspiracies which are unfair to Marilyn’s legacy and herself. Norma Jean (yes, it is actually spell like this)My Secret Life With Marilyn Monroe By Ted Jordan Anything by Robert Slatzer Anything by Jeanne Carmen Marilyn by Norman Mailer - He actually admitted that,"I needed money badly" when he was interviewed by Mike Wallace on the CBS news program 60 Minutes (on July 13, 1973) Therefore, all of these people have no legitimate sources, witnesses, or even substantiated sources or notes used for their book. Goddess: The Secret Lifes of Marilyn Monroe By Anthony Summers. Extract taken from Donald Spoto’s Afterword: The Great Deception; Summers hailed Slatzer as a legitimate source, an intimate of Marilyn who afforded important insights into her motivations and affairs. Jeanne Carmen was given equal stature, as was a ‘new York fan named James Haspiel - a man, who like Slatzer, parleyed a few photographs of himself with Marilyn into a career (and, eventually, wrote an insufferable book that had the temerity to offer a nightmarish fantasy of Robert Kennedy suffocating Marilyn to death with a pillow). Summers admitted that “Capell’s role as an investigator, given his right-wing zealotry, as hopelessly flawed,” but he failed to add that of course Capell’s work was the basis for the claims of Slatzer, Winchell and others Summer’s himself endorsed. Worse, in Goddess Summers ignored and/ or frequently misrepresented those he claims to have interviewed. On the matter of Marilyn’d supposed despondency over the end of her “affair” with Robert Kennedy, for example, he quotes her publicist’s widow, Natalie Trundy Jacobs: “Arthur and I would stay at her house till five or six in the morning talking to her, trying to stop her drinking or taking pills.” But Natalie Jacobs has consistently denied ever making such a statement to Summers; on the contrary, her account has never varied. She met Marilyn once only, at Arthur’s hone for dinner and a film screening. Similarly, Ralph Roberts and Rupert Allan (to name only two more) were outraged at Summer’s manipulation and misuse of their comments to him. (source:alwaysmarilynmonroe)
