Saturday, 4 August, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Saturday, 4 August, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Nice day. I picked beans, cucumbers and made pickles.  Did some ironing and cleaned upstairs.  Marilyn, Jim and the kids here in evening.
Comment:  And in other news on this day:  
  • Marilyn Monroe took the fatal overdose of Nembutal pills at her home at 12305 5th Helena Drive in Brentwood in Los Angeles, apparently at some point between a 7:15 phone call from her former stepson, Joe DiMaggio, Jr., and a 7:30 pm call from actor Peter Lawford. The pills interacted with a dosage of chloral hydrate already in her body, and she was in a coma by 10:00 pm.[9].  

Here is a picture of her from her last photo shoot on July 13, 1962, a couple of weeks before her death...looks gorgeous and haunted...

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
