New Details on JEANNE CARMEN in THE ASSASSINATION OF MARILYN MONROE


Author DONALD H. WOLFE has published the book THE LAST DAYS OF MARILYN MONROE in the United States.


The same book was published in the U.K., Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa with the title THE ASSASSINATION OF MARILYN MONROE.


Wolfe states that JEANNE CARMEN was a girlfriend and former next-door neighbor of MARILYN MONROE at her Doheny apartment in Hollywood.


The apartment building, located at 882 North Doheny Drive, was owned by FRANK SINATRA and was used as a "way station for SINATRA's pals, broads and business associates."


The apartment building was a nondescript low key white-on-white triplex on the corner of Doheny Drive and Cynthia Street with the apartment units surrounding a small courtyard. Many notable people have lived there, including actress ANGIE DICKINSON and actor BRAD DEXTER, who had once saved SINATRA from drowning in the ocean off Hawaii while filming the movie None But the Brave.


According to DEXTER, JEANNE CAREMN had known SINATRA and Chicago mobster JOHNNY ROSSELLI for years.


DEXTER was also a friend of MARILYN MONROE, having first met MONROE when he played a role in The Asphalt Jungle.


DEXTER recalled seeing MARILYN and JEANNE CARMEN together at the apartment on several occasions.


During an interview, DEXTER stated with regard to MARILYN and JEANNE "They were friends. I'd see them at Pucini's with FRANK, and sometimes at Palm Springs."

More Details on JEANNE CARMEN in THE KENNEDY MEN: 3 GENERATIONS OF SEX, SCANDAL & SECRETS


Author Nellie Bly has published the book ''THE KENNEDY MEN: THREE GENERATIONS OF SEX. SCANDAL & SECRETS''

Bly writes about "the wildest party" at PETER LAWFORDS's Santa Monica beach house after JACK KENNEDY won the Democratic nomination.

Bly states that "MARILYN MONROE invited her friend JEANNE CARMEN, a beautiful blond golfer and actress" to the pool party at the LAWFORD's house. Here, JACK KENNEDY and MARILYN MONROE hooked up for a romantic tryst with a twist: JFK wanted JEANNE CARMEN to join them for a threesome but CARMEN "dismissed the idea as crazy".

JACK became persistent and said to CARMEN "Just think of it as standing on the edge of a New Frontier. The frontier of the 1960's. A frontier of unknown opportunities and perils. JEANNE, I'm asking you and MARILYN both to be new pioneers on that New Frontier."

Bly also recounts the time CARMEN and MONROE invited BOBBY KENNEDY to a nude beach in Malibu. CARMEN and MONROE rubbed BOBBY down with suntan lotion and CARMEN recalled that BOBBY was "trembling" so bad that "MARILYN and I both thought he was going to pass out." Later in the afternoon, a naked BOBBY said to CARMEN and MONROE, "girls I haven't had this much fun in a long time."
