Wild Celebrity Conspiracies That You Most Likely Forgot About

Marilyn Monroe is truly one of the most fascinating public figures of our time. So her sudden death in 1962 came as a shock to many. After all, Monroe appeared to have it all — beauty, wealth, power, and a thriving film career. However, the Hollywood star was said to have had a turbulent love life in which she was rumored to have had affairs with some influential people  — including President John F. Kennedy and his brother, Robert F. Kennedy.

Per Parade, the conspiracy theory suggests that her involvement with these two men may have led to her death, which was ruled a probable suicide. The CIA was rumored to have been involved in covering up any potential scandals and issues that would negatively impact the Presidential family. And apparently, the beloved Hollywood star was considered to be one such issue. 

It was speculated that Monroe had been told about numerous intelligence issues by both John and Robert during their rumored time with the bombshell actor. As such, the rumor suggests that the CIA orchestrated her death in the interests of national security. Norman Mailer first pushed the theory into the mainstream with his 1973 book, “Marilyn: A Biography.” However, that same year he appeared to retract his theory on “60 Minutes.” The author admitted that the biography was written using secondary sources, and as a result, his story may have been lacking accuracy, per The New York Times. Still, the book sold well, and the theory persists to this day.
