Friday, The Los Angeles Times published extracts from alleged transcripts of tapes recorded by DR Ralph Greenson, Marilyn Monroe's psychiatrist, who encouraged the actress to bare her soul by the technique of "free association" reports Times UK. The transcripts revealed a few glimpses into the sex symbol's mind days before she died at the age of 36 in 1962.
The Los Angeles Times said it obtained a written record of the tapes from former prosecutor John Miner, 86, who says the recordings support his belief Monroe was a victim of foul play.
"There was no possible way this woman could have killed herself," John Miner told the Los Angeles Times for a story published Friday. "She had very specific plans for her future. She knew exactly what she wanted to do."
Monroe's body was found on Aug. 5, 1962, in her Los Angeles home. An autopsy concluded she died of barbiturate poisoning, and the death was ruled a probable suicide reports Reuters.
In addition to a one-night stand with actress Joan Crawford that left her cold, we learn that Marilyn Monroe thought sex with former spouse and playwright Arthur Miller was just "so-so" and that she maintained a deep affection for ex-husband Joe DiMaggio. Monroe also credited her psychiatrist with teaching her how to achieve orgasm.
According to excerpts, Monroe started off the recording by thanking her doctor for helping her regain "control of myself, control of my life."
"You are the only person who will ever know the most private, the most secret thoughts of Marilyn Monroe," she says.
She also credits him for helping her unlock the secret to orgasm after years of unsatisfying sex, and goes on to dwell on the shape of her own body, her two famous former husbands, and her feelings toward such fellow stars as Gable and Frank Sinatra, whom she called "a wonderful friend."
"My breasts are beginning to sag. ... My waist isn't bad. My ass is what it should be, the best there is. ... OK, Marilyn, you have it all there."
Of her sexual session Joan Crawford, Monroe said, "Next time I saw Crawford, she said she wanted another round. I told her straight-out I didn't much enjoy doing it with a woman. After I turned her down, she became spiteful."
