Photographer George Barris explains how he got hold of this very rare footage of Marilyn and himself. It was taken while Marilyn and George did their beach session photos in July 1962 by a passing tourist and given to George as a gift.

She stated not long before her death that she was afraid of Peter Lawford. I know in my Heart she was murdered ! So so many things do not add up to Suicide and so many do to being murdered. God Bless Her !✝️🌿❤️💕🌿❤️💕🌿

[@kojoharrison630]

You’re absolutely correct. There are so many things I could mention that point to Murder but I’m exhausted so I can write them now. 1) The first police office who got to the scene and what he said by looking at the position of Marilyn’s body on the bed 2) The Report from the Japanese Doctor who did the post mitten and how he was silenced (Marilyn had only 1 teaspoon of fluid in her stomach so where were the 47 capsules she swallowed??…. Residue of which was found in her Large intestine…… so administration of it points to enema instead of swallowing 47 pills 💊 3) The washing machine doing linen laundary at 03:00am by the housekeeper. What soiled linen was being washed ….soiled from the enema administered?? 4) Marilyn was reported dead at 3:00am but her body was already stiff with rigor mortis when the police arrived meaning she’s had been dead for several hours before but wasn’t reported until 3:00am (estimated time of death was 8pm around the time Bobby Kennedy left the scene seen in a speeding car away from the area) etc etc etc etc 🥺😳😱

@@kojoharrison630 bobby throttled her, slapped her around. And the others took over or he did it. The was Marilyn's body was positioned was in a way of her hiding, arms tight in and face down due to probably being smothered by the pillow. She had bruises on her back and arms, and it looked like she had her neck broken, from what the embalming man said. Even in death her body was abused. God saw all...they got theirs. And peter lawford was all guilt in the last interview of speaking about Marilyn, saying "I should've driven there and tried to help"... as he broke down crying. There's more I can't write here but yes, she was murdered. Yesterday was her birthday...she will never be forgotten ❤

Is it known if there is more footage or was this all that was taken? It's amazing to see.

[@kojoharrison630]

There’s actually a whole book on that Beach photoshoot. The book is fabulous!! This shoot took place in Santa Barbara. I’m not sure if there’s a longer movie footage than in this video clip… I have no clue…. There could be; it’s possible👍🏾

[@JohnnyGNV]

Incredible, so sad that it is so brief - but I guess, technically speaking it really WOULD be the last footage of her - I'm not sure at this point, was she planning to go back to work on Something's Gotta Give, or was that to occur closer to August - I do know that it was decided she would return to finish the movie, and then of course came her untimely end....so sad.

[@thomasschmitz9894]

i believe production was supposed to restart toward the end of september/early october and of course marilyn got a HUGE raise and also had "what a way to go" afterwards (that became a hit with shirley maclaine in the title role).... the 2 picture deal was worth 1 million.... marilyn would then be done with fox, be a free agent and command most likely with the likely success of both these films back to back 1 million for EACH of her next films..

[@penelopelopez8296]

Maybe so, but that would mean that Marilyn would have to show up for rehearsals and filming shoots On TIME! I’m certain there were some serious conditions that n that contract that she had to fulfill and being at the studio ON TIME and in condition to work would have been one of those conditions. That condition IMO would have placed a lot of stress on her because she did not like getting up early.

[@verycherry4459]

@@penelopelopez8296 she also had health issues with sleep problems and painful endometriosis that kept her up at night so that would account for showing up late. If she took something to help her sleep she had trouble getting moving the next day in the morning for a couple hours.

[@andrewbrendan1579]

If that bit of film turned up today I expect it could be sold for a small fortune. I wonder if the lady who filmed this scene was bothered by having footage of someone who had died shortly after the filming. Too I wonder how much time and effort it took for the lady to identify Mr. Barris and get contact information for him. I'm also curious about who the people are with MM and GB: did they photographic assistants or curious passersby. What an experience to see Marilyn in the green towel that is familiar to us but this time to see her in motion picture footage though she's really not in much motion herself! In the still photos the viewer would think there was just Marilyn Monroe and George Barris (except for a picture or two with lady walking by); the photos have an privacy or intimacy but the film reminds us that the photos were done in a public place and gives a new dimension to our viewing of the photos

[@charitygrace3441]

Amazing!

[@AmericanOriginals]

Marilyn had extended family present at this photo shoot (off camera). George Barris brought a bottle of Dom Perignon as a prop which started the rumor that it was Marilyn's favorite champagne, but her favorite was actually Moet and Chandon.

[@nicolottesheridan4200]

What extended family did she have with her?

[@kojoharrison630]

Are you sure about her favourite drink?? Her trusted Housekeeper Lena Pepitone clearly states in her book that Dom Perignon is indeed Marilyn favourite Champagne

Never seen footage of her high or drunk. Fox studios made that shit up. I'm not saying she didn't have a problem, but she was hardly the mess they try to portray her as. (Now Judy Garland or Liz Trailer, thats a whole other story. )

[@f.m.a.7383]

Anyone interested in MM's death, may find answers at the KZbin video entitled, The Missing Evidence: The Death Of Marilyn Monroe For the first time since her death, I finally feel as it the pieces fit and that I understand what took place.

[@kojoharrison630]

There’s also a Documentary from the late 80s or early 90s (I believe, entitled ‘Say Goodbye To The President’ in which the Housekeeper Eunice Murray (who was found doing bed linen laundry at 3:00am when the first Police office arrived on the scene) had at long last come out to declare that ‘Yes’ the Kennedy Brother was in the house that day and “things got sticky” but because she wasn’t made a part of what was going on, that’s why she kept silent for all those years. Also there so many unanswered questions that point to murder rather than Monroe wanting to take her own life at a time when she was actually her happiest!!

[@Gigi1111Layna]

Yes, Eunice Murray finally admitted bobby was indeed there and it became very hot and sticky...he was mad. Marilyn didn't want to see him anymore. She was over it. And they took her life. bobby did.

[@Gigi1111Layna]

@@kojoharrison630 And do you remember the Italian model "artist"?? Who supposedly made a model of Marilyn in her casket...in a few days...or by photo even!?? No❗Not true. Take a closer look. It is M.M. after makeup. They say it isn't real. Bc they can't show it. But people don't know that IT IS REAL what they're looking at. If I know you read this, I will point out the reasons I know of, why that it is real M.M. From the Pucci blouse to other reasons. Shame on them for doing so, and releasing it to the public and I feel shame too, to look. But we are unfortunately creatures of human curiosity, and I'm at least grateful that she, herself would've been happy to look as such rather than the previous way...that they treated her body.

[@kojoharrison630]

@@Gigi1111Layna It was the real Marilyn Monroe because it was her long-time Trusted Make-up Artiste ‘Whitey’ Snyder who dressed her body up and did the makeup for her. She asked him while she was still alive that if she dies before him could he please do her makeup?? And he promised that he sure will if she died before him. He did her proud and she looked great 💫💎👑
