With Ana de Armas taking on the role of Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik's film "Blonde," the spotlight is once again on the legendary Hollywood star.
The movie portrays Monroe undergoing two abortions and facing a spontaneous health crisis during her marriage to Arthur Miller, shedding light on lesser-known aspects of her life.
Rumors have circulated about Monroe's alleged pregnancies by President John F. Kennedy or his brother, Robert Kennedy. However, despite the cinematic depiction, there is no concrete evidence supporting these claims.
The film explores the possibility of Monroe deliberately aborting, either due to external pressures or personal concerns about hereditary mental illness. Fred Lawrence Giles' book, "Norma Jean: The Life of Marilyn Monroe," even suggests a pregnancy shortly before her death, further intertwining her life with the Kennedys.
Marilyn Monroe's romantic entanglements have fueled debates for decades. From her turbulent relationships with John and Robert Kennedy to Tony Curtis, the actress's love life remains a subject of enduring interest. Her tumultuous marriage to Joe DiMaggio ended due to jealousy, triggered by public attention. Even her union with playwright Arthur Miller saw a bitter end after the discovery of hurtful remarks in his diary.
The film "Blonde" also delves into Monroe's connection with Charlie Chaplin Jr., exploring a brief romance. While the book "Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe" suggests an affair with Cass Chaplin, the truth of a rumored trio involving the children of Hollywood legends remains uncertain. Charlie Chaplin Jr. later confirmed his romance with Monroe in his autobiography, but details about the alleged trio remain elusive, leaving room for speculation and debate about the director's artistic choices."
