Marilyn with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. In 1961 Marilyn became something of a mascot for the infamous ‘Rat Pack’, visiting them in Las Vegas and hanging out at their homes. The friendship between Marilyn and Sinatra had cooled by 1962, but she remained close to Dean Martin. After she was fired from ‘Something’s Got to Give’, co-star Martin refused to work with any other actress and immediately walked off set.

Marilyn ‘off duty’; she would often go out wearing old clothes, no make-up and with her hair un-styled. It was a disguise that often worked, although the evidence of these photographs indicates that she was occasionally still recognized.

12305 Fifth Helena Drive. This was Marilyn Monroe’s last home, and also where she passed away on the night of the 4/5 August 1962. The tile beside her front door read ‘Cursum Perficio’, which translated means ‘I’ve finished my journey’.

The wall crypt where Marilyn Monroe now lies. Every year thousands of fans visit the site, and often leave mementos, flowers and notes.
