50 years ago today!

I can still remember the newspaper and I was only right years old but the news of Marilyn Monroe dying was huge. She was a mysterious, beautiful, and blonde actress that seemed like your everyday girl. 50 years ago!! Wow time has flown.

Even today how Marilyn Monroe died is not clear. The government mysteriously will not release her files because they are too sensitive. Did the government have her killed? Unless the files are found and released, we won't know.
