Nach dem Zeitungsbericht finden sich in der Akte Details über die Affäre der Schauspielerin mit dem damaligen US-Justizminister Robert Kennendy sowie über Sexpartys und Monroes depressive Phasen: "Peter Lawford (geschwärzte Passage) wusste von Marilyns Freunden, dass sie mit dem Gedanken spielte, einen Selbstmordversuch vorzutäuschen, um Mitleid zu erwecken", soll es in den Akten heißen. Monroe soll ermutigt worden sein, einen weiteren Selbstmordversuch zu unternehmen - allerdings mit der Zusicherung, dass sie rechtzeitig gefunden und gerettet werden würde.

Doch in den frühen Morgenstunden des 5. August 1962 wurde die 36-Jährige tot in ihrem Zimmer entdeckt. Sie lag nackt und mit dem Gesicht nach unten auf ihrem Bett - Todesursache war eine akute Vergiftung mit Barbituraten. In dem jetzt veröffentlichten FBI-Bericht heißt es, Lawford habe "spezielle Vorkehrungen" mit Monroes Psychiater Greenson getroffen, damit dieser ihr eine ungewöhnlich hohe Menge des Beruhigungsmittels Seconal verschreibt.

April Birthstone and Flowers

Diamond: “the King of Gemstones”

Considered by many to be the “King of Birthstones,” the diamond is the gem for April. Diamonds stand for love, prosperity, and endurance.

Diamonds are the hardest mineral on our planet. Scoring a perfect 10 on Moh’s Scale of Hardness, the fabled diamond is four times harder than its closest competitors. A diamond can scratch other gemstones, but only a diamond can scratch another diamond. No wonder the name was taken from the Greek word adamas, meaning “unbreakable” or “invincible.”

Diamonds are formed deep in the earth, at high temperature and pressure. Before the natural origin of the gem was understood, it was believed diamonds were created by bolts of lighting, or from the tears of gods. (The Sanskrit word for diamond, vajira, also means “lighting.”) 

Actresses Lillie Langtry, Mae West, and Elizabeth Taylor, each in her own era, had fabulous diamond jewelry that became part of their personae. Mae West once observed “I have always felt a gift diamond shines so much better than one you buy for yourself.”

There are many famous references to diamonds in literature and film. A poem by Emily Dickinson begins:

When Diamonds are a Legend,  And Diadems – a Tale – I Brooch and Earrings for Myself, Do sow, and Raise for sale –

The famous  jazz song “Diamond’s are a Girl’s Best Friend” by Jule Styne and Leo Robin was sung by Carol Channing in the original 1949 Broadway production of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, then by Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 film version.

Sweet Pea and Daisy

The birth month flowers for April are the sweet pea and the daisy. The sweet pea stands for blissfulness, and can also mean farewell. The daisy signifies innocence, loyalty in love, and secrets kept between friends. The informal quality of the daisy may be why it is linked to friendship. As Kathleen Kelly says in the 1998 film You’ve Got Mail, “Don’t you think daisies are the friendliest flower?”

The E. Nash 1908 birthday postcard for April features a round-cut diamond and white Easter lilies beneath the rays of a golden star. Since Easter often falls in April, one can understand the association between this month and this flower. However, over time the flowers for the different months have become more standardized, and for many decades white lilies, particularly the lily of the valley, have been recognized symbols for May.  

Towards the upper-right of the postcard, it reads “A Happy Birthday to You.” The verse at the bottom reads:

The emblem of purity is the lily White And the Diamond sweet innocence your guiding light. May your Star up in the firmament shine ever, ever bright.

My dearest Aunt Vi was born in April, and I celebrate her life this month. Happy birthday to all April babies!

Μέσα σε χρόνο ρεκόρ πωλήθηκε το μοναδικό σπίτι που είχε ποτέ στην ιδιοκτησία της η  Μarilyn Monroe. Ο μυστικός αγοραστής που θέλει να τηρήσει την ανωνυμία του αγόρασε την τεράστια κατοικία έναντι 7.25 εκατ. δολαρίων. Η σταρ του Χόλιγουντ το είχε αγοράσει το 1961 για λιγότερο απ�� 80.000 δολάρια και ζούσε εκεί με την επί πολλά χρόνια οικονόμο της, Eunice Murray. «Μπορώ να τα πάω καλά με οποιονδήποτε, αρκεί να του αρέσει το σπίτι μου», είχε δηλώνει η θρυλική Μarilyn σε συνέντευξή της.  Για τη διακόσμηση μάλιστα, φέρεται να είχε κάνει και ταξίδι στο Μεξικό, προκειμένου να αγοράσει έπιπλα τα οποία θα ταιριάζουν στο στιλ του σπιτιού. Μετά το θάνατο της μεγάλης σταρ σε ηλικία 36 ετών πολλοί ιδιοκτήτες της κατοικίας έχουν κάνει τις δικές τους αλλαγές στην πολυτελή έπαυλη.
