FBI files on Marilyn Monroe
that could not be located earlier this year have been found and
re-issued, revealing the names of some of the movie star's
communist-leaning acquaintances who drew concern from government
officials and her own entourage.
But the files, which previously
had been heavily redacted, do not contain any new information about
Monroe's death 50 years ago. Letters and news clippings included in the
file show the bureau was aware of theories the actress had been killed,
but they do not show that any effort was undertaken to investigate the
claims. Los Angeles authorities concluded Monroe's death was a probable
suicide.
Recently obtained by The Associated Press through the Freedom of Information Act, the updated FBI files do show the extent the agency was monitoring Monroe for ties to communism in the years before her death in August 1962.
The records reveal that some in Monroe's inner circle were concerned about her association with Frederick Vanderbilt Field, who was disinherited from his wealthy family over his leftist views.
A trip to Mexico earlier that
year to shop for furniture brought Monroe in contact with Field, who was
living in the country with his wife in self-imposed exile. Informants
reported to the FBI
that a "mutual infatuation" had developed between Field and Monroe,
which caused concern among some in her inner circle, including her
therapist, the files state.
"This situation caused considerable dismay among Miss Monroe's
entourage and also among the (American Communist Group in Mexico)," the
file states. It includes references to an interior decorator who worked
with Monroe's analyst reporting her connection to Field to the doctor.
