This interviewer spoilt the whole recording with his incessant interruptions. Jeanne was so open & believable that he didn’t have to work at all hard to extract stories from her. I only wish he’d have slowed down the pace & allowed Jeanne to fully answer his questions one at a time!
@@debrasalinas2831 the accent seems very transgender New York, which is why she reminds you of Fran Drescher. Not only that but the big hair, acrylic nails and shoulder pads are all a bit over the top, like "The Nanny". I wonder if Jeanne was Jewish?
Much respect! Born into horrible poverty in Paragould, AR, but ran away from home at age 13, succeeding in NY and Hollywood. Wish my mother had done the same. RIP
Awe so good to see her again! I spent 4 days on a set with her, in a trailer as her granddaughter and my daughter filmed Jake and the Fatman. What a wonderful time I had talking with her!
Awe God Rest her soul. Wondering how her daughter is doing? I remember Jeanne bringing her portfolio to the set to show me with all her old time glamorous pictures of her and Marilyn Monroe and others. She was quite delightful to have a conversation with.
Jeanne Carmen had an ENORMOUS amount of stories about her and Marilyn, and not once were they photographed together. Not one shred of evidence that they were friends like a letter or something.
Jeanne Carmen had a wonderful life. Then, after Marilyn died, she went to live an anonymous life, and had children, and was supposedly a good mother. RIP SkipE and Jeanne Carmen.

@@_angelofwar I don't believe her stories either about MM, and some of the ways she describes Marilyn; it does not sound like how a best friend would talk about a best friend e.g. she saw JFK or his brother screwing Marilyn doggy style or Marilyn was being passed around like a used rag to the drug lords of the Italian mafia and that she was a lousy lay and fat and flabby.
Ava Gardner said she went out of her mind when she'd come to his apartment after the break-up on occasion. She said he had a running sound system playing his singing over and over. She couldn't wait to get away. She felt he was sad and pathetic - conceited and a bastard, a lot. Two twisted people. Sex chemistry. She'd have done better staying barefoot in Alabama - but then, we would have lost one of our truly fine actresses. Ava had low esteem about her acting, but time is the test....she was a great American actress and a nice, dark exotic foil to MM's beauty.
@@gailjarvis2592 nonsense...first of all Sinatra NEVER PLAYED his own music.....he played classical....second...Ava never said that because she had every recording Frank ever made and played them non-stop...ANY bio of Sinatra or Ava will confirm this
I have always read all the magazines, tabloids included and I don’t remember anything about this woman! Also, I must have read a dozen bio’s on Sinatra and I have never seen anything about her in any of them! I mean, if she saw Frank that long and had this ‘flaming’ affair and I read about a lot of other of Frank’s ‘ ladies ‘, but not her!? And, good lord, Clark Gable AND ELVIS? Really? I know she may be trying to sell a book or something, but, her ‘ recollections’ are questionable! Anyone know if she is for real....or ‘ reel ‘ ??
70% of the men who are hosts on Television/Online Entertainment News shows are just like him today.. but the only difference is many of them are not White.
That hell is the real story behind all the compulsive promiscuity, the off-handed self-squandering, and the heedless pursuit of dumb fun and distraction, and that story will never be told. If she tried to tell it, people like Skip E. Lowe would not want to hear it, anyway.
No matter the interview, the subject, the time, I have never witnessed a worse interviewer. This guy stepped on every response of interest. He trashed his own interview, his own questions and made himself look like a fool; well past his interviewing prime..He missed Jeanne Carmen's best lines and reveals...and he didn't even know it. The worst part of it? He mangled what could have been a great, interesting, interview because he wasn't interested in Ms. Carson. She, however, was a class act, her outfit notwithstanding. She stayed patient and as articulate as he would let her be. Bottom line; Skip insulted all of us by using Jeanne Carson to interview a very dead Frank Sinatra. The irony being, Sinstra would not have given this inept, guy the time of day. He's an interviewer like I'm a great singer or golfer.
I used to work at a mailbox place in West Hollywood in the 90s. Skip E had a box there. He would come in often, and we chatted a bit. I found out, we were both from Rockford Illinois. He even gave me a copy of his book and signed it. I think it was called the boy with the Betty Grable legs. I never read it. I lost the book in one of my many moves. But I wish I still had it. He was always at the Silver spoon restaurant with Shelley, Winters, and other legends from that era. As annoying of an interviewer as he is. He really interviewed some of the best and most interesting people. I only wish he had let them talk a little more. I guess Martin short imitated Skip E for his Jiminy Glick character.
I'm going to have to research Jeanne Carmen, she is fascinating and sounds like she doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks - she tells it like it is! I just wish the interviewer would let her finish a sentence...
WHY YOU DIDN'T LET HER FINISH THE ANSWERS ...SHE WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING INTERESTING AND YOU CUT HER EVERY TIME WITH ANOTHER QUESTION UUUUFFF WHAT AN ANNOYING MAN........JESUS
Interesting lady with great stories about famous people but the interviewer is terrible, constantly interupting her, changing topics just when she wants to finish wht she is saying.
Her lengthy book, "My Wild, Wild Life," is available on Amazon and is actually quite well written with the help of her son. It's over 400 pages and while I agree she may have exaggerated I doubt she could have made everything up.
I did a movie with Elvis called "Double Trouble" in fact I am on the cover of the DVD with Elvis. I am the guy with black hair and the guitar. There are two versions of this movie one is an illustration and the other is the one with Elvis and two guys beside him the blond being Don our drummer. I can honestly say that I did NOT get to know Elvis as intimately as Jeanne Carmen...thankfully.
I don't buy the ' she and marilyn monroe were besties " story. BUT she was part of the Golden era classic 50s Hollywood scene. And the first pro female golfer 🏌️♀️. And I love her character and charisma. I feel the 1950s vibe from her even then when she was older. May your star keep shining bright like the Hollywood lights, Rest in peace 💋❤🕊
Same here! Donald de Spoto who wrote an excellent biography about Marylin went even further and called her a liar. She lived in Marylinś neighbourhood and had a brief chat with her because Marylin complained about the noise which was caused by Jean Carmen and her friends! That was it!
She was a golf trick expert in her day(I mean doing tricks-feats-on the golf course). Beat many famous people at golf including Bob Hope and Bing Crosby.
I would assume she did a few tricks for Hope...my god, he was such a hound dog...the biggest cheater in his day by far!...seems hard to believe, with his clean image, always supporting the troops, etc....not so good looking either...but filthy rich!
That's the execrable Skip E. Lowe with the mic. He's like an Ed Wood character. Amazingly, actual Hollywood actors turned up to be given this treatment. Martin Short's "Jiminy Glick" character is based on this bizarre little monster.
yes. ive read several monroe biograhies, including spoto's, and i also have noticed that carmen was NEVER mentioned. nor was shelley winters, no matter what winters has always claimed.
I think when you leave home at 13 like she did, she learned to lie and use her body to survive...She probably only had one thing in common with MM & I suspect she was also a victim of molestation by someone...and as for poor M.M that was a sadly a constant in those foster homes she was passed around in and orphanages too!!
@@MsLiberty101 yep thinking the same thing and she got good at to I wish I could write a full of shit book and get away but I couldn't they wouldn't even corn hole me lol
Jeanne Carmen had an ENORMOUS amount of stories about her and Marilyn, and not once were they photographed together. Not one shred of evidence that they were friends like a letter or something.
@@_angelofwar yeah I was curious about her and that dude that claimed to be her Bf Shelly Winters knew Marilyn and she said in interviews that she never heard of either 1 of them .
Omg - this lady is pure gold!!! I only wish the interviewer went in in much more depth into the wonderful stories as they go along...,IMO it skips to the next story too fast and I want all the details. She’s gorgeous too and she is a broad. I love that! Broads rule the world! ( pssst I am a broad too....)
During this interview they mentioned Sinatra in away that sounds like he was still alive and he died in 98. Film quality appears to be 90s. She was born in 1930 so she was definitely in her 60s here, probably mid 60s and looking great
she is telling the truth, I feel it, I like her and feel a connection . The part about being with Bobbie and me , yes, she is right and in this life I did so much of the same type of stuff when I was younger.
"I did find out that blondes have more fun." Says it all! Definitely not a victim of the Hollywood couch. You have to admire her sexual confidence in a man's world.
this guy is a terrible interviewer....as she was about to divulge some info, he would interrupt her on his own agenda....was he even listening? hang it up guy, you need to retire from your gig.....time to go fishing or playing golf. yes, she has had work but even at that, she looks great.
She was supposed to be besties with Marilyn but I can’t seem to find one pic of them together. She has pics of her with everyone in town including Elvis. Marilyn’s biographer has publicly called her a liar. I always liked Jeanne and she is the epitome of old school Hollywood. She was basically a party girl who was talented and self confident.
She reminds me of Keanu Reeves' mother, both gorgeous, both have good plastic surgeons. If Marilyn had lived I wonder if they'd have used the same docs.
She was stunning, so beautiful inside and out. She was such a great conversationalist. I don't know if she really knew Marilyn, but was also such a warm, sensitive, understanding person. RIP JC, love you. ❤❤
ROUND ROUND GET AROUND I GET A ROUND !...I GET ROUND ROUND ROUND ROUND I GET AROUND..GET ROUND... I GET ROUND ALL AROUND TOWN ..I GET AROUND I GET AROUND ALL OVER TOWN.....
Jeanne Carmen’s friendship with MM was mentioned a lot in the meticulously researched and lauded biography Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe by Anthony Summers, a British journalist. She and M were neighbors for years at an apartment building on Doheny. Jeanne’s exploits have been documented in enough places that I believe her. Who knows if she embellished, but there are plenty of photos of her with some of the people she mentions like Dean Martin, Elvis. The mink coat thing is something Marilyn did from time to time, so it probably happened. There was no way to live next to MM during that period and NOT to have known her, they ran in the same circles. As for Donald Spoto’s comments or book, he is known to be a National Enquirer type journalist/author, so his info is best taken with a huge grain of salt!
@Sara Murphy: Yes, I read the book as soon as it came out. (Summers' book~~~actually I have read them both.) I am not done with this terrible interview yet, (it's hard to watch with Skip Lowe being the interviewer), but what bothers me about the Jeanne Carmen story is that there is not one picture, one Birthday card, one note, NOTHING from Jeanne to substantiate that she was a "good friend" to Marilyn. There is nothing. I do believe she knew Marilyn, (Sinatra had all of his BROADS stashed in the same building), but I do not think she was as close to Marilyn as she says. Seems to me Jeanne Carmen made her income in the second half of her life from talking about Marilyn. Always about Marilyn. She made money off of Marilyn. If Jeanne was off and on with Sinatra, Marilyn would not have liked her one bit. Jeanne would have been competition because she was younger and Frank was into her. Marilyn didn't have ANY real friendships, let alone one with a woman who would sleep with practically anyone, and particularly, a friendship with a woman who was interested in a man that Marilyn wanted.
Seriously? If they were such GREAT friends, why is there not ONE pic of them together? If fact, I’ve not seen ONE of these pics you’re talking about. I met and had lunch with Jeanne and her son at Marilyn’s anniversary of her death (94). Marilyns sis was also there. She also told me she never trusted nor believed one word Jeanne ever said. I’d post pics (which I DO have BTW) but this platform doesn’t allow it. You’d never know a thing about Jeanne if it weren’t for her “relationship” with Marilyn. 🙄🙄
All these famous men I hear her talk about in her interviews,how is it possible there are no pictures of her and all these famous men? Couldn't find except one picture of her with her "best" friend Marilyn Monroe? From her stories with Marilyn Monroe, the two sure slept arounddddd, like a lot. Her stories are amazing to listen to tho.
It annoys me with all the double standards in the comments. It's OK for men to sleep around and "love women " but a woman is condemned for having an active sex life... . 😑
There is a culture reason for that. Men don’t have babies. Now with DNA analysis paternity is easy to determine, but historically what man wants to support some other man’s child? Of course now, with assisted reproductive technology, a woman can give birth to a baby that is not hers, but historically if a woman gave birth the assumption is the baby is genetically hers.
Get her book! It's a great read. MY WILD WILD LIFE. And it includes so much more about the murder of Marilyn Monroe, and who did it and why. As she said in this interview, " . . . the Kennedy brothers were 'monsters'."

Iiiiiiiiiiindeed!
you just caught my thought - he is ....
why is everyone trashing this lady in the comments...I think she is interesting to listen to and her stories are interesting too....too many haters.

Yur right. SHES fascinating.
I think she is attractive, and her make up is nice.NM. Detroit
I think she is fabulous I could listen to her talk for hours..
She is still very pretty. Was a stunner in her day.
Skip Lowe !
What a guy !
He loves the sound of his own voice more than he loves the answers to his questions.
I've loved him for years.
She's right! There is no style, glamour, class, or elegance anymore in Hollywood!
And she never had either.
Yup,....very ~classy~ with one puppy hanging =====(o)ut..?!

“Not his mistress, bc I’ve always had my own money.” Yes, queen.
I know! I thought that was super fckin fierce. lol
........ she was still given lots of presents🎁.
She gives good face like Marilyn. Sexy isn’t just the body.
Jeanne is beautiful. I like how she talks, calm and collected.

13!!! Where did she run to???
This woman is queen of patient cool. Love her!!💜
She's about to go into something fascinating and he loves to hear himself talk. Unfuckingbelievable.
I know! When she said " there were so many cute things about Frank...like.." He changed the subject!
Unreal annoying
Repirter acts like a dirty old man
Alex Jones does that too....controls the conversation ....doesn't let out too much info
He can’t shut up.
Wow, she was 76 years old here. Her neck, decolletage, arms and hands are so young looking. She certainly squeezed the juice out of life. Lived it up.
Probably plastic surgery, but, well done.
A very good plastic surgeon
If you don’t let her talk! Just let her tell it how she wants to tell it. I’m sure it’s straight up entertainment!

He asks a question before she answers he asks another . That goes on the entire video . He likes to hear himself talk. He should interview himself.
Old school journalism. The old goat.

Those old queens from back in his day had to be the absolute center of attention.
And why, you might ask? Well, ill tell ya.
Because: Fabulous!!!!
he should go to nursing home for good.
She was so interesting, I wish the interviewer would just let her talk.
Agreed. The background comments sound tacky n rude, I’m sure not at all his intention.
That was just Skip’s style.
I would have told her to shut up ..she wouldn't even let the woman answer the questions

Jeanne is such a good person.
I admire her style and for real truthful personally.
I do love you Jeanne Carmen.
she LIED about Marilyn
@@KarmicSalt Yes, she definitely is a dishonest piece of work.
Tough cookie. Moved from home at 13! She was obviously a survivor.

That's the execrable Skip E. Lowe with the mic. He's like an Ed Wood character. Amazingly, actual Hollywood actors turned up to be given this treatment. Martin Short's "Jiminy Glick" character is based on this bizarre little monster.
😅😂😂
Worst interviewer ever. Kept interrupting and won’t let her finish telling her stories
Donald Spoto writes in his Marilyn biography that there is no record whatsoever that Jeanne ever met Marilyn, other than her saying so.
This broad is as phony as a 3-dollar bill! Probably got paid plenty for this trash!
@@MJLeger-yj1ww Her voice is so low AND she reminds me of a man!
@@RubySlippers1100 LOL! Perhaps "it" is!
yes. ive read several monroe biograhies, including spoto's, and i also have noticed that carmen was NEVER mentioned. nor was shelley winters, no matter what winters has always claimed.
@@sandragrant8271 Proof that biographies can omit some realities.
I find her so very interesting! And how good she looks at an older age....
It's called plastic surgery,put her too close to a fire, and the lier would melt
Hell yes.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Except i think she has a little too much "sag" and a parchment decolletage for a dress or blouse neckline cut open down the cleavage.
Agree she needs to put those away, ugghh.
They are moving the camera around trying not to see her cleavage to be so obvious.
Very classy lady i can see why everybody liked her.
She's a right about girls dressing up these days That goes for men as well no style anymore
I don't believe this woman is honest and so many of Marilyn Monroe's real Hollywood friends swears she never knew this woman .
I think when you leave home at 13 like she did, she learned to lie and use her body to survive...She probably only had one thing in common with MM & I suspect she was also a victim of molestation by someone...and as for poor M.M that was a sadly a constant in those foster homes she was passed around in and orphanages too!!
@@MsLiberty101 yep thinking the same thing and she got good at to I wish I could write a full of shit book and get away but I couldn't they wouldn't even corn hole me lol
Jeanne Carmen had an ENORMOUS amount of stories about her and Marilyn, and not once were they photographed together. Not one shred of evidence that they were friends like a letter or something.
@@_angelofwar yeah I was curious about her and that dude that claimed to be her Bf Shelly Winters knew Marilyn and she said in interviews that she never heard of either 1 of them .
Omg - this lady is pure gold!!! I only wish the interviewer went in in much more depth into the wonderful stories as they go along...,IMO it skips to the next story too fast and I want all the details. She’s gorgeous too and she is a broad. I love that! Broads rule the world! ( pssst I am a broad too....)
Me too.
I dont know her age but she is very pretty.
Someone said she was 70 here but I find that hard to believe...I guess with a good doctor anything possible though.
1930-2007. Died at age 77.
During this interview they mentioned Sinatra in away that sounds like he was still alive and he died in 98. Film quality appears to be 90s. She was born in 1930 so she was definitely in her 60s here, probably mid 60s and looking great
@@leetate1963 1984
She’s still beautiful. But what year is this.
Jeanne Carmen was also.a famous golfer with trick shots.
She should have made golfing her career. Who knows what kind of fame she may have had. Instead, she chose the party chick life. Sad.
Really wish I could have met Jeanne Carmen....she hit the nail on the head about the glamour being gone...and Marilyn
She was always a classy and beautiful woman!
💐 Great plastic surgeon! I like her because of her straightforward approach. Jeannie Carmen would be a great friend.
Her and Marilyn Monroe can rest in peace two best friends
lol... Monroe didn't know this woman...never met her..certainly was not her roommate and positively was not a friend....lol....you fools
I can't believe how far a person would go with flat out lies against someone, for money.
she is telling the truth, I feel it, I like her and feel a connection . The part about being with Bobbie and me , yes, she is right and in this life I did so much of the same type of stuff when I was younger.
LOL Sorry, but we don't believe her just because YOU "feel it"
She looks good for her age.
So many coming out saying they knew Marilyn or big stars in the day. She left her husband on the side of the road?
Very beautiful blond hair ....fits well for her...pretty lady !!!!
She was awesome! I love her Old Hollywood style.
Great interview! Very much enjoyed it.
"I did find out that blondes have more fun." Says it all! Definitely not a victim of the Hollywood couch. You have to admire her sexual confidence in a man's world.
May she rest in peace
Looks fabulous. Love that smooth soft voice. God knows who she is. Not to worry.
this guy is a terrible interviewer....as she was about to divulge some info, he would interrupt her on his own agenda....was he even listening? hang it up guy, you need to retire from your gig.....time to go fishing or playing golf. yes, she has had work but even at that, she looks great.
Vikki Nicholson I totally agree. Awful.
He’s dead so probably won’t see anymore of his interviews.
This must be a very old interview ... 💨
@@funeralangel8262
The video is old because Jeanne died in 2007.
@@davidadams2395 Wow ...
She was supposed to be besties with Marilyn but I can’t seem to find one pic of them together. She has pics of her with everyone in town including Elvis. Marilyn’s biographer has publicly called her a liar.
I always liked Jeanne and she is the epitome of old school Hollywood. She was basically a party girl who was talented and self confident.
I love this lady 🤷🏾♀️
She reminds me of Keanu Reeves' mother, both gorgeous, both have good plastic surgeons. If Marilyn had lived I wonder if they'd have used the same docs.
At 59 seconds I thought he was going to stumble and say 'ah, really, you live in New Boob beach..'
😂
She was stunning, so beautiful inside and out. She was such a great conversationalist. I don't know if she really knew Marilyn, but was also such a warm, sensitive, understanding person. RIP JC, love you. ❤❤
She knew Marilyn very well. They were roommates and did a lot of thing together. She was also MM confident at times😊
Yes she knew Marilyn. Jeanne Carmen was my Aunt and we talked often.
This woman has the morals of an alley cat.
So what...who are you to judge sheesh!
Don't insult alley cats
Tbe jezebel of tbe day.
60S 70S AND BEYOND EVERYONE WAS SEXING EVERYONE... KEYS IN THE BOWL .. NVM SUPER BOWL!! ITS SEXY TIME @ HOLLYWOOD!! .. CRAZY !! ... ..
If she were man there wouldn't be a problem
Great interview. She sure knows where all the bones are buried.
Sounds like she’s had few bones buried in her 😛😛
I'm sure you're right, but I'll reserve comment.
@@patrickdoyle680 😂😂😂
B Bt she’s the kinda girl you definitely should not take home to meet the parents 😳😳
Interesting lady, with some great stories
ROUND ROUND GET AROUND I GET A ROUND !...I GET ROUND ROUND ROUND ROUND I GET AROUND..GET ROUND... I GET ROUND ALL AROUND TOWN ..I GET AROUND I GET AROUND ALL OVER TOWN.....
Lol u can tell by her tits hanging out shes been around.
Awful interviewer. And he kept saying her full name. So annoying mun
What year was this?
Jeanne Carmen’s friendship with MM was mentioned a lot in the meticulously researched and lauded biography Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe by Anthony Summers, a British journalist. She and M were neighbors for years at an apartment building on Doheny. Jeanne’s exploits have been documented in enough places that I believe her. Who knows if she embellished, but there are plenty of photos of her with some of the people she mentions like Dean Martin, Elvis. The mink coat thing is something Marilyn did from time to time, so it probably happened. There was no way to live next to MM during that period and NOT to have known her, they ran in the same circles. As for Donald Spoto’s comments or book, he is known to be a National Enquirer type journalist/author, so his info is best taken with a huge grain of salt!
@Sara Murphy: Yes, I read the book as soon as it came out. (Summers' book~~~actually I have read them both.) I am not done with this terrible interview yet, (it's hard to watch with Skip Lowe being the interviewer), but what bothers me about the Jeanne Carmen story is that there is not one picture, one Birthday card, one note, NOTHING from Jeanne to substantiate that she was a "good friend" to Marilyn. There is nothing. I do believe she knew Marilyn, (Sinatra had all of his BROADS stashed in the same building), but I do not think she was as close to Marilyn as she says. Seems to me Jeanne Carmen made her income in the second half of her life from talking about Marilyn. Always about Marilyn. She made money off of Marilyn. If Jeanne was off and on with Sinatra, Marilyn would not have liked her one bit. Jeanne would have been competition because she was younger and Frank was into her. Marilyn didn't have ANY real friendships, let alone one with a woman who would sleep with practically anyone, and particularly, a friendship with a woman who was interested in a man that Marilyn wanted.
Seriously? If they were such GREAT friends, why is there not ONE pic of them together? If fact, I’ve not seen ONE of these pics you’re talking about. I met and had lunch with Jeanne and her son at Marilyn’s anniversary of her death (94). Marilyns sis was also there. She also told me she never trusted nor believed one word Jeanne ever said. I’d post pics (which I DO have BTW) but this platform doesn’t allow it. You’d never know a thing about Jeanne if it weren’t for her “relationship” with Marilyn. 🙄🙄
@@debbiecalifornia138 Agree!!!
Sara Murphy Funny Sara BC Marilyn NEVER lived anywhere “for years”. Jeanne is a well-known LIAR in old Hollywood! True story!
@@debbiecalifornia138 Can you trust anyone in Hollywood?
All these famous men I hear her talk about in her interviews,how is it possible there are no pictures of her and all these famous men? Couldn't find except one picture of her with her "best" friend Marilyn Monroe? From her stories with Marilyn Monroe, the two sure slept arounddddd, like a lot. Her stories are amazing to listen to tho.
Yes if l knew marilyn monroe I would make sure to get a photo taken with her . You need provenance to back up your story .
It annoys me with all the double standards in the comments. It's OK for men to sleep around and "love women " but a woman is condemned for having an active sex life... . 😑
IKR, it's so hypocritical
I can't help but wonder about how often she dealt with VD...
70 and still advertising
Well said J J, girl power! 👍❤️
There is a culture reason for that. Men don’t have babies. Now with DNA analysis paternity is easy to determine, but historically what man wants to support some other man’s child? Of course now, with assisted reproductive technology, a woman can give birth to a baby that is not hers, but historically if a woman gave birth the assumption is the baby is genetically hers.
Get her book! It's a great read. MY WILD WILD LIFE. And it includes so much more about the murder of Marilyn Monroe, and who did it and why. As she said in this interview, " . . . the Kennedy brothers were 'monsters'."
I've been searching and can't seem to find a picture of her and her extremely close friend Marilyn. Anyone?
HOLY COW ...HOW IN THE HELL DOES THIS GUY HAVE A JOB
seems like this women was hollywood's unofficial call girl
yes she was. she,still dies interviews with her sagging tits out. Best friend my ass.
That sums her up very well! Lol.....
A she was no true friend of Norma Jean. She sounds like nothing more than a Hollywood Whore. ....and that's being nice.
Oh my goodness.
