Twenty years ago, those interested in Marilyn Monroe were reeling from the new revelations concerning Marilyn’s death, all the answers seemingly just within reach. Although Robert Slatzer’s 1975 The Curious Death of Marilyn Monroe had not raised any eyebrows, primarily because not many had heard of it, all that changed ten years later when a respected investigative journalist, Anthony Summers, published his Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe. Summers, having the name and a large publishing house, reached even those who had not given much thought to the late movie star in the twenty-three years since her death. So, by 1986 those who had a keen interest in Monroe were not only being blown away by the television specials and the running excerpts in the newspapers covering Summers’ book, but there was the added somewhat sinister thrill when ABC’s 20/20 suddenly canceled their program dedicated to the Monroe case. If that didn’t convince that something was going on, that someone, someone big, was pulling strings to keep everything under wraps, nothing much could.
