Coroners famously ruled Mon-
roe’s death “probable suicide,”
but many have long believed
foul play was a factor — that
the star lost her life to murder
and possibly a conspiracy.
Recently released evidence and
investigative reporting reveal

the actress’ red diary may have
thrust her into the center of a
power struggle between Pres-
ident John F. Kennedy and his
attorney general brother, Rob-
ert. Listeners will gain intimate,
never-before-revealed insight
into the life of one of Holly-
wood’s most iconic
stars, from her early

her untimely death.
