Jackie vs. Marilyn Part 4 -- Conclusion


Marilyn could not remember much after that. She recalled through a drug haze being half-dragged to her bedroom by her nipples followed by a series of Jackie’s bony knees delivered to her throbbing sex organs and her feet being stomped on by Jackie’s menacing shoes.

Again, Jackie figured the coroner would also write off any discoloration of the vaginal area to aggressive sex and any bruises on her feet to Marilyn wearing improper, too-tight footware or stubbing her toes.

She also figured that by concentrating on Marilyn’s nipples, crotch and feet she would accomplish two things: 1. Jackie would cause Marilyn great pain and discomfort and 2. Jackie would not leave marks that a coroner would consider as contributing factors to Marilyn’s death.

Marilyn was embarassed and humiliated beyond words but she was about to endure one more indignity before she succumbed to the beating.

Through a drug-induced fog Marilyn saw Jackie setting up her camera, flash bulbs, tripod and a timer. Marilyn was on the verge of passing out as several pornographic shots were taken of Marilyn with legs spread.

Other photographs, shot with the assistance of the timing device, featured swimsuited Jackie in different stages of a fight, attacking nude Marilyn’s boobs, crotch and feet – in effect recreating what had happened earlier in the one-sided battle, only this time on Marilyn’s bed.

Jackie also did several muscle flexing poses over her defeated blond rival, her now bare feet placed on Marilyn’s breasts, mouth and crotch.

“Oh my God, you’re not going to have those published, are you?” a vain-to-the-end Marilyn asked, nearing her dying breath.

“No, my dear, they are for me to look at and enjoy during the many years of life I have left,” Jackie said, reminding Marilyn that she would have a long time to gloat while Marilyn was at death’s doorstep.

“One day, years from now, during an especially hot lovemaking session, I may even share them with Jack.”

Those humiliating words were the last Marilyn heard as the deadly drugs did their dirty deed. Jackie gathered her shoes, camera gear, dress and purse, as well as Marilyn’s torn nightie and feathery slippers and left a naked Marilyn in her bed, an empty pill bottle at her side.


Fight Aftermath


On Aug. 5, 1962, the Los Angeles Police Department received a call at 4:25AM from Dr. Hyman Engelberg, saying that Monroe was found dead at her home in the posh Los Angeles suburb of Brentwood.

To this day, many questions remain unanswered about the circumstances surrounding Monroe’s demise, including when her body actually was found.

The official cause of death determined by Dr. Thomas Noguchi of the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office was “acute barbiturate poisoning” -- a “probable suicide.”

Chloral hydrate and Nembutal – sleeping pills -- were found in Monroe’s system as a result of the autopsy. Jackie was right. There was no mention of bruises on Monroe’s nipples, labia or toes, much less any notations theorizing their contribution to Marilyn’s death.

Despite the findings, there have long been a number of people who believe Marilyn was murdered and that John or Bobby Kennedy had something to do with it. Other theories place blame on the CIA or Mafia.

Strangely enough, Jackie Kennedy’s name has never come up as a person of interest despite the glowing motive she had to do in Marilyn.

When the press asked for Jackie’s reaction to the untimely death of the 36-year-old actress, the gracious First Lady simply and somberly replied, “She (Monroe) will go on eternally.”

Fifteen months later, Jackie mourned the assassination of her husband, who never got to view the humiliating fight photos and never knew it was Jackie who did in his mistress. Jackie came to regret not sharing that wonderous moment and otherwise failing to satisfy her dead hubby.

Jackie later told her priest, the Rev. Richard McSorley, “I could have made his (JFK’s) life so much happier … I could have tried harder."

Contemplating suicide, Jackie confessed to McSorley, “I was glad that Marilyn Monroe got out of her misery.”

In the coming years, Jackie bounced back from her depression and dated some of the very men Marilyn had bedded, including Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra and even Bobby Kennedy. Jackie married shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis and wrote and edited books.

She died on May 19, 1994, at her Park Avenue penthouse apartment from cancer. She was 64. Ironically, Jackie’s death came on the 32nd anniversary of the night Monroe sang “Happy Birthday, Mr President” to JFK.

Prior to Jackie’s funeral on May 23 at St. Ignatius Loyola Roman Catholic Church on Park Avenue, Jackie’s kids, John and Caroline, went through their mother’s intimate personal effects in her penthouse home.

Under Jackie’s bed was an unmarked fireproof strongbox, neither of her surviving children had ever before seen. John got the box open to find inside of it a faded blue babydoll nightie and old feathered slippers that were much too small for their mother’s impressive feet.

Then, they found the pictures – pictures that would have solved one of the 20th century’s greatest mysteries: How Marilyn Monroe really died.

“Oh, my God, is that Mom and who I think it is?” Caroline said, initially thinking the intimate looking photos depicted the two famous women making love on Marilyn’s bed.

“That sure is Marilyn -- and look at the date and descriptions on the back of these photos in Mom’s handwriting,” John said, quickly realizing the photos were not of two women having sex but rather one woman defeating the other in a deadly fight.

“I don’t believe it, Mom beat up and killed Marilyn Monroe!”

“John we have to destroy this stuff,” Caroline said. “We can’t take any chance on the press getting a hold of this. We can’t have our mother, one of the most beloved women in history, branded a murderer for eternity!”

Knowing how his mother must have treasured the items in that box, John could not bring himself to burning them. Instead, he placed the shoes and nightie and all of the incriminating photos in a shoe box and slipped them into the lower portion of his mother’s casket prior to the services.

At Jackie’s funeral, John said three of his mother’s attributes were the love of words, the bonds of home and family and “her spirit of adventure.”

Certainly, nowhere was Jackie’s spirit of adventure higher than the night she stripped, beat and destroyed Marilyn.

Fittingly, Jackie Kennedy Onassis was buried along with the mementos of the Monroe fight in a grave next to John F. Kennedy, at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, more than 3,000 miles from Marilyn’s final resting place in Hollywood.

In death, Jackie had again defeated Marilyn by winding up at JFK’s side for all eternity.
