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...
