Book Presentation:
A Biography of Hollywood's Tragic Star, JFK's Camelot, and the Truth Behind Her Death

“Donald Wolfe has written one of the most absorbing accounts of Marilyn’s life to date.”
—Fred Lawrence Guiles, author of Norma Jean

“Admirable!...Wolfe takes us very close indeed to the dark truth about Monroe, the Kennedys, and that lonely death in the California night.”
—Anthony Summers, author of Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe

Fifty years after her death, the Marilyn Monroe mystique remains as strong and alluring as ever—as evidenced by Michelle Williams’ Golden Globe-winning performance in the critically acclaimed film, My Week with Marilyn, and NBC TV’s drama Smash about the creation of a Marilyn-themed Broadway musical. In The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe, author Donald H. Wolfe, a former Hollywood screenwriter and film editor, examines the tragic starlet’s final weeks and offers startling evidence to support his provocative claim that Marilyn’s alleged suicide was, in fact, a homicide. A powerful and intimate look into the dark side of Hollywood and John F. Kennedy’s Camelot, The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe is a must-read for movie buffs, true crime aficionados, and the many still enchanted by the Monroe magic.

About the Author:
Donald H. Wolfe worked in Hollywood as a screenwriter and film editor for twenty-five years. His fascination with Marilyn Monroe began when he met her in 1958 during the filming of Some Like It Hot at the Samuel Goldwyn Studios. Wolfe lives in Georgia.

Press Reviews:
"Donald Wolfe has far surpassed my exhaustive work and even Anthony Summer’s tour de force in 1985. It is the most astonishing work ever to emerge in the literary Monroe sweepstakes." - Peter H. Brown, coauthor of Marilyn: The Last Take

"Donald Wolfe has written one of the most absorbing accounts of Marilyn’s life to date." - Fred Lawrence Guiles, author of Norma Jean

"Admirable! You do not need to agree with all his conclusions to see that Wolfe takes us very close indeed to the dark truth about Monroe, the Kennedys, and that lonely death in the California night." - Anthony Summers, author of Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe
