It was the night between 4 and 5 August 1962 when Marilyn Monroe exhaled her last breath. The official cause: suicide by overdose of barbiturates. But the questions (and unanswered) are too many. Why they have never been officially questioned her housekeeper Eunice Murray, and her psychiatrist Ralph Greenson? Why the autopsy showed that there were no pills in her stomach, but several bites in the area of the heart? Why a woman with a spectacular career ahead of her had to kill herself? In Marilyn Monroe's short life they were intertwined loves, passions, work, politics and careers. Plots that perhaps they do have tragically decided the end. She had become an awkward Marilyn Monroe. In this script comes from the eponymous play, Elisabetta Villaggio tells us those last, tragic, three days.

“Investigative reporting at its best. Mark Shaw’s original work into the questionable deaths of Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Kilgallen is now focused on the many unanswered questions left by the Warren Commission’s inquiry into the JFK assassination. Fighting for Justice has to be read.” —Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wiseguy and Casino Packed with shocking new evidence, Fighting for Justice exposes the cover-ups of the JFK assassination and the murders of Dorothy Kilgallen and Marilyn Monroe, while revealing for the first time the corrupt inner workings of the Warren Commission based on the firsthand “whistleblower” account of an actual Commission member never identified before. How does an explosive “whistleblower” account from a Warren Commission (WC) member never identified before destroy once and for all the biggest lie in American history, the “Oswald Alone” theory? On what basis did the member admit, “It’s more than Oswald. There is internal corruption on the Commission. I do not agree with the Report”? Is the “whistleblower” the same one who surreptitiously passed Jack Ruby’s WC testimony to journalist Dorothy Kilgallen prior to its release date? And how did President Lyndon Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover strong arm the commission to prevent any investigation of the truth about who killed JFK and why? Based on fifteen years of research, answers to these questions and more are uncovered in Fighting for Justice, bestselling author and noted historian Mark Shaw’s improbable journey to exposing cover-ups of the JFK assassination while proving Marilyn Monroe and Kilgallen were murdered.
