Both her father & sister lived well into their 90's. Ms. Kilgallen still had decades of life & career left. I thought her a brilliant woman. She took her last risk & her husband took her secrets with him to his grave so their 3 kids could live peacefully.
She never interview him. Not only has this so called exclusive been refuted by Hugh Aynesworth, as was New York reporter Bob Considine, it has also been disputed by Earl Ruby and his attorney Elmer Gertz. She was one of many reporters that had requested access for an interview but was denied as were others due to security purposes.

@White_Rook - Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the link to the article. I was too young to remember Dorothy when she died, but have been a big WML fan on RUclips and have grown to really like that show and her. I am trying to do my homework via the internet looking at all sources of who killed JFK, and you may be right, but if she died of an overdose or some other means, why was all her notes on the case taken? That is very suspicious to me. If it was all a hoax who cares what she wrote, as it could be proven false. That part I don’t understand.
@@missourimanful I can't answer the question about her notes. I'm still trying to find a credible source on that one. But one thing I am sure of. She wouldn't claim she had an exclusive and wait months before publishing it. Reporters are funny about that. They try to get their material published ASAP for fear somebody else will "beat them to the punch"
@White_Rook - Thanks for the quick response. Based on your research, who do you think killed JFK? Also have you ever read “The Reporter Who Knew Too Much” by Mark Shaw, or seen him giving talks about his book? I haven’t but am planning on it. I am just trying to do my due diligence.
Of course she was murdered! Dorothy Kilgallen put together the puzzle of who really snuffed the President." Someone didn't want her talking, many suspects in her case. From Frank Sinatra, who hated her, the C.I.A., the Mob, more. Rest In Peace..Dorothy Kilgallen
I discovered Dorothy and What’s My Line only a few months ago, and that cast of characters is without a doubt the most interesting group of people I’ve ever come across. Dorothy was light years ahead of her time. Everything she’s said and done seems modern and holds up extremely well in today’s world. I’ve changed my mind a dozen times between whether she was murdered or if she committed suicide. There are very strong arguments for both. Either way, she was an incredible person and is greatly missed
I use to watch WHAT'S MY LINE all the time as a boy. I was in third grade when the President was killed. At the time I had no idea Ms. Kilgallen knew anything about it.
@@artistbrindle Not sure of this is true or not, but I remember reading that Dorothy was flinging with a ne'er do well singer who she promoted in her column as much as possible. I can't remember all the details, but I didn't think she looked that good in the video above because - according to what I read - Dorothy was drinking heavily to keep up with the singer.
I know what it was. She knew that Oswald did not act alone and had an idea who some of his associates were. I have researched the subject very thoroughly. Of the people closely associated with the assassination, four had been murdered less than two years after, one of them being Dorothy. Oswald did not kill Kennedy, though he fired at him and hit him twice. The fatal head shot was fired by someone else.
@@juleswhy5920 The fatal shot was by the CIA or by the Mafia, I am not surewhich as they were working together. I doubt if Bush was looking on, but some railway workers working on the nearby underpass were looking on and saw a puff of smoke from the grassy knoll.

If the right screenwriter, director, casting, and cinematography come together it could be a contender for instant Oscar or Golden Globes bait.
I was born in the 50s, grew up in the 60s, but don’t remember Dorothy Kilgallen. I recently found an old episode of what’s my line and met Dorothy Kilgallen for the first time. A short three hours later found the story of her unusual death. So unfortunate that as soon as I discovered her she seemed to be gone! I love murder mysteries and this has truly peaked my interest.
Several reporters interviewed Jack Ruby in prison. Dorothy Kilgallen had one alcoholic beverage after taking sleeping pills the night she died. Very few people realized in 1965 that was hazardous. The manuscripts of her book included very little about the JFK assassination. There’s simply nothing mysterious about her death. The real conspiracy is by hucksters spreading misinformation to the gullible public.
@@brianarbenz1329 The poorly staged death scene alone is reason enough to open a new investigation. I was a junior in high school when this happened, and knew from every report that it was a cover up. I was shocked at how they covered up her murder, and just forgot about it.
@Deborah Robertson: Jack Ruby was never interviewed by any reporter while in prison. The press was routinely denied due to security concerns. Kilgallen succumbed to alcohol/barbiturate interaction. It was self-administered, the only question being, was an accident or a suicide?
@@stddisclaimer8020You are a mentally shorthanded person who understands nothing about violence against women. Lee Oswald acted alone when beating his wife and when firing his rifle in Dealey Plaza.

There is a great book called "Masters of Deceit" an epic novel of the monstrous plot behind the Kennedy assassination, written by A. Tarnavsky. I urge anyone who wants to learn more about the mysterious deaths of Dorothy Kilgallen, William PItzer, Jack Ruby, and countless others, and Johnson's involvement in the JFK assassination to read this book.

On page 4 of the attached magazine article about Dorothy Kilgallen, you find writer Sara Jordan’s first reference to Ron Pataky. It is followed by many quotes from him. He is described by the New York County district attorney’s office as a person of interest in an investigation of her death. www.midtod.com/dorothys.pdf
I don’t know where you say she’s was one part Barbara Walters & Opra. Killgalen paved the way for them and other women in journalism today. Oh yeah I believe she was murdered too.
Dorothy was going to New Orleans to meet a source with information about the JFK assasination. She was suicided right before she was to go. The source she was going to meet was likely Jim Garrison (movie - JFK).Her death adds a lot of weight to what Garrison had unvovered.
T Porchia You are correct with your response thanks. I remember B. Walters doing an interview with Assad in Syria. She asked the most stupid question "why won't you allow western reporters into your country? Duh, aren't you a westerner Barbara?
A recent RUclips video shows an author who had received the transcripts of the hearing that she would have known all about because she had been present at that very event.
@T Porchia There is no financial incentive for anyone to improve on this video. Information about Dorothy doesn’t make money. The two books about her by Mark Shaw come from vanity publishers. He paid for people to read them. The publishers didn’t.
"author and former criminal defense attorney, Mark Shaw, speaks about his book "The Reporter Who Knew Too Much" and its follow-up, "Denial of Justice." Each chronicle not only his 12 years of research but most importantly, the life and times and mysterious death of What's My Line? TV star and crack investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen and her 18-month investigation of the Dallas tragedies which included being the only reporter to interview Jack Ruby at his trial. Shaw also discusses his controversial exposure of the most important JFK assassination documents in history, the Jack Ruby trial transcripts." just watched the exposé worth it

I wish that the JFK investigators would use Jack Ruby's real name Jacob Rubinstein ... he said that he was at the jail the day he assassinated Oswald ... was as an interpreter for an Israeli newspaper. Little known fact ... Ben Gurian was in Dallas the day of JFK's assassination. Who was Michael Collins Piper?
Average US citizen's brain collapses when you show them evidence of Israeli involvement in JFK's assassination and 9/11. They would rather believe impossible fairy tales than the evidence especially if the sacred cows like FBI, CIA or Israel are involved.
Joe Citizen Rubinstein hu, that figures. Not sure but I believe JFK wanted peace in the Middle East (sorry he did want peace). Ben Gurion would have none of that. I do not know who MCP was.
Yes! but still an alcohol barbiturate overdoses death which was very common those day's 50's&60's era. But! the way they founded her dead was very bizarre (weird) indeed!
@Marvin Martian Dorothy was not an alcoholic or abuser of prescription sleep aids. Her two hairdressers confirmed this. You can access video interviews of both of them.
Mark Shaw's book is nothing but tabloid trash. Hugh Aynesworth was a Dallas reporter back then, he covered the whole Ruby trial and the supposed meeting between Kilgallen and Ruby never took place. I believe she just leaned over for a moment to say something to Ruby during a break. Hugh is still alive, and has said the same thing from day one. Ask yourself one question, if Kilgallen had this vital information, why did she die almost 2 years after Ruby?? Don't you think "they" would have wanted to get to her long before this?? She had plenty of time to spill the beans, yet not a single word to anyone, about anything. Bogus.
@@davidhenschel1990 Yes! indeed she was a social drinker & 3 kinds of barbs in her system that cause her death is very suspicious to me. Somebody like Pataki just poisioned her drinks.
And here I thought when I was a kid in the 50s that her only occupation was being a panelist on "What's My Line". You know, like Kitty Carlyle and Henry Morgan.
I've read that her downfall was her neediness for men. Her vulnerability, because she wasn't a vulnerable woman for a woman of her time. She had a lot of power, in her own right, and had a finger on the pulse of society, which is why she wasn't allowed to tell society what she knew. They control the narrative, and the counter narrative.
We'll never know what happened, meaning what she learned about. Events like this are always tragic. But what is fascinating is how inept schemers can be when they do things to high profile people, that draws more attention than they should want.
I had no idea, living in the UK, that this lady was such a fantastic journalist... possibly the best the USA has ever produced. I have no doubt she was killed.... she seemed a very sweet lady to me, but her intellect was off the scale. R.I.P
Any reason card player at 2:28 has lady bug on his finger, I guess they really are good luck as he has a pair of pocket kings. At any rate, had been watching old reruns of "What's My Line," recently and was surprised to see how this beloved reporter was mysteriously killed.
Read a bio on Dorothy years ago (1989s). Her investigative insight was keen. Also knew too much. Connected to the Kennedys, the connection to the mafia to many public figures and celebrities, as well as Marilyn Monroe, Jack Ruby and Oswald and Hoover, (need to find that book) .
As a little kid I’d see Dorothy Kilgallen on What’s My Line? I read the Mark Shaw book on her and just don’t see anything about her passing other than it was unfortunate. It was sad she passed but I don’t see any conspiracies. I’d like to see Dorothy remembered for the great talent and celebrity that she had been. She was huge in early television history. An absolute giant.
she had years after her interview with ruby to state the facts but never did...she had a huge column she could have put it all on the table...her thing was to try to sell her book so she said all that stuff to make people buy her book
How do you kill some one with prescription drugs and alcohol without using force? Why would you use a method like this that carries a very high risk for failure when there are other easier means of making a death look like an accident? Has there ever been a confirmed case of someone being killed by a stranger in this manner?
Dorothy was the biggest media star of the 20th Century. See my video about her career. Dorothy Kilgallen, gone but not forgotten. ruclips.net/video/NT5gdZyEKIQ/видео.html
If people in the United Kingdom are enjoying videos about Dorothy Kilgallen or various episodes of What’s My Line on which she uses her intelligence, they should thank Americans for providing the suspense or amusement. If Americans hadn’t revived interest in this woman more than 25 years after her death, English people would not have. The reason that the Marilyn Monroe conspiracy got multimedia exposure as far back as 1985 is that journalist Anthony Summers, who was based in Ireland and the United Kingdom at the time, had been familiar with Marilyn since he was a child. Millions of Irish and English people knew who she was even if they had been born during her last years or after she died. Her movies were telecast there and revived in cinemas in London and Dublin throughout the 1960s and 1970s. So it was easy for a Londoner to tell a Dublin resident that twenty years ago Marilyn Monroe died possibly under mysterious circumstances. They were already familiar with the American person whose death might have been suspicious. But the name Dorothy Kilgallen meant nothing to them for many decades until Americans uploaded video of her to RUclips. It is nice that a United Kingdom resident such as you is learning that an American woman could have been famous because of her intelligence long ago. You’re welcome.
Kilgallen was ahead of her time. She knew what we all now know. That Oswald was a friend of Kennedy; that he did not shoot the president; that Kennedy was shot from behind with a revolver or a hand gun; that Kennedy was alive when he was taken into hospital but finished off there; that the bodies were swapped so there would be no proof of any of this. Kilgallen was not brilliant. She was very mediocre. But she smelled the story and she went for it. Sadly, what the mediocre minded Ms. Kilgallen did not know as that one of her best friends, a co-panelist on `What`s My line?`, was working for the Home Team. It was either he or someone else whom she knew and trusted that gained access to her apartment on the night she was murdered. The report mentions there was no forced entry so Kilgallen had to have known and trusted the man. Shall we all be PARANOID about door men cause the concierge in her building obviously knew whoever the friend was on the night of Kilgallen`s death he arrived with 2/3 thugs (probably dressed as work men alleged there to fix the plumbing or whatever)!!
Kilgallen had one over-the-railing exchange with Ruby in court, where he could have come forward and said anything, her reporting was just going to be one chapter of a larger book about trials she had covered and was not due to be published until months later, hardly an urgent expose. She did not die until *twenty months* later, said nothing explosive in her regular news column, her trademark boasting aside, never displayed any sign she possessed information dangerous to her own safety, even appearing on her regular gig on What's My Line without a care in the world. She was hardly less high-profile a person than JFK himself and murdering her would attract a massive amount of attention, publicity and investigation. How exactly did some phantom conspiracy approach and recruit the cops on the New York City Police Department to become accessories to murder to no gain to themselves whatsoever without any of them ever cracking, confessing or being found out in 57 years. Oddly enough, whatever sinister villains had to take a massive risk to "rub her out" never touched any witness in or near the limo, in the plaza, filming the assassination, in the TSBD, on the Secret Service, in the motorcade, at the Tippit crime scene, Oswald's landlady, the shoe store clerk, any witness in the theater, any of the medical staff at either hospital, Ruby himself, Jim Garrison or any of his stooges, or any of the crackpot conspiracy authors who spent years crowing loud and long about how they were going to blow the case wide open...
Aaron Z tosses around a lot of misinformation! Dorothy's fatal flaw was tipping her hand. She told friends she was going to blow the lid off the Kennedy assassination. Shortly thereafter she was dead from an alcohol and barbiturate cocktail and all her notes on JFK were gone.
`They WAHINE and DAHINE and try to impress`. What rubbish! Most journalists, never mind celebrity journalists, cannot get the time of day. We also do not get paid. I am a BIG TIME celebrity journalist. Have interviewed everyone from Mick Jagger to Alfred Hitchcock. America is too cheap to put us on payroll. Instead we are paid a flat fee, often as little as $250 for a piece of writing. OUt of this we have to pay rent, telephone; buy food and clothes; pay electric, water and heat; have some dental work. We do not get medical cover or a private pension; no unemployment, no holidays. At the end of the day while my plaudits are sung around the world, I am forced to live like a beggar, a Jewish beggar I might add because America is too cheap to pay a fair pension and to include Part B Medicare with the (laughingly free) Part A. I get $300 pcm from the Americans. Every pensioner should get a minimum of $1000 and not be asked to return to the USA and to go on the dole. Secondly, all of us in receipt of Medicare should get free Parts A and B. After all, even then we poor slobs are asked to come lup with 20% of the total bill. WHILE AMERICA pays the bill of the CARTELS and gives billions of tax dollars to places around the world being exploited by the cartels.
Peter J Lol! Since she got herself murdered, no one will ever know the basics! What difference does it make whether she was a Hollywood reporter or reported while living in Bug Tussle? (An actual town, don't remember what State it's in) Her reporting is the important thing, not where she sat and typed up her information!
She was absolutely one of the most amazing people of her era.
Agree
Yes! a very clever brillant reporter indeed!
And she mysteriously died after trying to get to the bottom of the Kennedy assassination
Both her father & sister lived well into their 90's. Ms. Kilgallen still had decades of life & career left. I thought her a brilliant woman. She took her last risk & her husband took her secrets with him to his grave so their 3 kids could live peacefully.
Agree 100%
She also did the only interview with Jack Ruby. She was murdered for what she knew on the JFK assassination.
She interviewed Ruby twice.
She never interview him. Not only has this so called exclusive been refuted by Hugh Aynesworth, as was New York reporter Bob Considine, it has also been disputed by Earl Ruby and his attorney Elmer Gertz.

On page 4 of the attached magazine article about Dorothy Kilgallen, you find writer Sara Jordan’s first reference to Ron Pataky. It is followed by many quotes from him. He is described by the New York County district attorney’s office as a person of interest in an investigation of her death.

So much for “The Truth Can NOT Hurt You.”
Why did all her notes on the JFK case disappear????
You have heard about fire, haven’t you?
I don’t know where you say she’s was one part Barbara Walters & Opra. Killgalen paved the way for them and other women in journalism today. Oh yeah I believe she was murdered too.
Dorothy was going to New Orleans to meet a source with information about the JFK assasination. She was suicided right before she was to go. The source she was going to meet was likely Jim Garrison (movie - JFK).Her death adds a lot of weight to what Garrison had unvovered.
proof?
@@fiveofever2971 ruclips.net/video/-3plSiWAq20/видео.html
I’ve had the same inclination since Garrison was investigating what turned into the Clay Shaw conspiracy trial.
@Charles Maeger: Your reference to the unhinged conspiracy zealot Garrison has "unvovered" only that you have trouble with spelling.
Thank you! I remember Dorothy!
Today, we are aware and cautious. Too bad.
The mafia silenced her !
She was one hundred times the reporter that Oprah, and Walters was. She had guts, where Winfrey, and Walters lack common sense even.
T Porchia You are correct with your response thanks. I remember B. Walters doing an interview with Assad in Syria. She asked the most stupid question "why won't you allow western reporters into your country? Duh, aren't you a westerner Barbara?
A recent RUclips video shows an author who had received the transcripts of the hearing that she would have known all about because she had been present at that very event.
Mark Shaw
This little clip doesn't do Dorothy justice. Her story is much more important than this little clip shows.
@T Porchia There is no financial incentive for anyone to improve on this video. Information about Dorothy doesn’t make money. The two books about her by Mark Shaw come from vanity publishers. He paid for people to read them. The publishers didn’t.

"author and former criminal defense attorney, Mark Shaw, speaks about his book "The Reporter Who Knew Too Much" and its follow-up, "Denial of Justice." Each chronicle not only his 12 years of research but most importantly, the life and times and mysterious death of What's My Line? TV star and crack investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen and her 18-month investigation of the Dallas tragedies which included being the only reporter to interview Jack Ruby at his trial. Shaw also discusses his controversial exposure of the most important JFK assassination documents in history, the Jack Ruby trial transcripts." just watched the exposé worth it

So unfortunate….just recently read about her…
Good video piece - thanks for posting
She was classy. Unlike most of the people involved in the reporting world today.
I wish that the JFK investigators would use Jack Ruby's real name Jacob Rubinstein ... he said that he was at the jail the day he assassinated Oswald ... was as an interpreter for an Israeli newspaper.
Little known fact ... Ben Gurian was in Dallas the day of JFK's assassination.
Who was Michael Collins Piper?
Average US citizen's brain collapses when you show them evidence of Israeli involvement in JFK's assassination and 9/11. They would rather believe impossible fairy tales than the evidence especially if the sacred cows like FBI, CIA or Israel are involved.
@@tomdoh345 God bless Michael Collins Piper
Joe Citizen Rubinstein hu, that figures. Not sure but I believe JFK wanted peace in the Middle East (sorry he did want peace). Ben Gurion would have none of that. I do not know who MCP was.
@@joecitizen6755 Johovah?
"Ben Gurian was in Dallas the day of JFK's assassination." "everyone'' was in Dallas that day, a lot of people knew something big was going to happen.

I haven't forgotten Her...
Dorothy Kilgallen death is is an unsolved mystery.
Yes! but still an alcohol barbiturate overdoses death which was very common those day's 50's&60's era. But! the way they founded her dead was very bizarre (weird) indeed!
@Marvin Martian Dorothy was not an alcoholic or abuser of prescription sleep aids. Her two hairdressers confirmed this. You can access video interviews of both of them.
Not true. It's known. Mark Shaw does a good job explaining it in his books, talks, etc.
Mark Shaw's book is nothing but tabloid trash. Hugh Aynesworth was a Dallas reporter back then, he covered the whole Ruby trial and the supposed meeting between Kilgallen and Ruby never took place. I believe she just leaned over for a moment to say something to Ruby during a break. Hugh is still alive, and has said the same thing from day one. Ask yourself one question, if Kilgallen had this vital information, why did she die almost 2 years after Ruby?? Don't you think "they" would have wanted to get to her long before this?? She had plenty of time to spill the beans, yet not a single word to anyone, about anything. Bogus.
@@davidhenschel1990 Yes! indeed she was a social drinker & 3 kinds of barbs in her system that cause her death is very suspicious to me. Somebody like Pataki just poisioned her drinks.
Kirby.that voice of yours is amazing.overall a good production.well done
And here I thought when I was a kid in the 50s that her only occupation was being a panelist on "What's My Line". You know, like Kitty Carlyle and Henry Morgan.
Mark Shaw has explained so well about Kilgallen ..what a terrific woman , she was killed
The min.he mentioned that she was doing research on kennedy, yeah she stuck her nose where it didn't belong and they did it.
Hardly forgotten
The more you look in to it, the more things don't make sense and foul play seems logical.
I've read that her downfall was her neediness for men. Her vulnerability, because she wasn't a vulnerable woman for a woman of her time. She had a lot of power, in her own right, and had a finger on the pulse of society, which is why she wasn't allowed to tell society what she knew. They control the narrative, and the counter narrative.
We'll never know what happened, meaning what she learned about. Events like this are always tragic. But what is fascinating is how inept schemers can be when they do things to high profile people, that draws more attention than they should want.
Ron Pataki was involved, if not the murderer.
Dorothy Killgallen was from New York and the show What's My Line was also in New York. She was not a Hollywood reporter.
Just goes to show that "SILENCE IS SECURITY"
I had no idea, living in the UK, that this lady was such a fantastic journalist... possibly the best the USA has ever produced. I have no doubt she was killed.... she seemed a very sweet lady to me, but her intellect was off the scale. R.I.P
Love his Accent !! awesome reporting Kirby !!
she did write the book
Not about JFK
What did anyone DO? We must find her notes!
She was a way too open about her theory. Funny how all her files disappeared after her death.
and her secretary assistant was soon dead shortly after her.
I hadn't heard of that.
Do you have any links to share?
Thanks.
People can speculate on this case and endless others, but we will likely never know the truth.
Removed by Poppy. Just like JFK
She will never ever be forgotten or her murder
Poor Dorothy knew too much.
Poor Dorothy said too much.
reading that book about her right now...very chilling reading about JFK and the aftermath
Book on her bed was upside down.
and the book was upside down as well
Any reason card player at 2:28 has lady bug on his finger, I guess they really are good luck as he has a pair of pocket kings. At any rate, had been watching old reruns of "What's My Line," recently and was surprised to see how this beloved reporter was mysteriously killed.
She said the liason she hinted at wasn't marilyn and jfk...but marilyn and someone else.
The man that shot Oswald conveniently died too.
Read a bio on Dorothy years ago (1989s). Her investigative insight was keen. Also knew too much. Connected to the Kennedys, the connection to the mafia to many public figures and celebrities, as well as Marilyn Monroe, Jack Ruby and Oswald and Hoover, (need to find that book) .
I am going buy both
She was absolutely murdered
That was fair.
Definitely murdered. She made the mistake of telling people about the book.
Definitely taken out..
As a little kid I’d see Dorothy Kilgallen on What’s My Line? I read the Mark Shaw book on her and just don’t see anything about her passing other than it was unfortunate. It was sad she passed but I don’t see any conspiracies. I’d like to see Dorothy remembered for the great talent and celebrity that she had been. She was huge in early television history. An absolute giant.
she had years after her interview with ruby to state the facts but never did...she had a huge column she could have put it all on the table...her thing was to try to sell her book so she said all that stuff to make people buy her book
How do you kill some one with prescription drugs and alcohol without using force? Why would you use a method like this that carries a very high risk for failure when there are other easier means of making a death look like an accident? Has there ever been a confirmed case of someone being killed by a stranger in this manner?
It could have been the boyfriend he could have drugged her drink
It was never investigated, according to Mark Shaw and the current DA.
You hold a gun to their head and tell them to drink from the glass in front of them. Works every time.
Marilyn Monroe ring any bells?
@@gfriedman99 Yeah, and then what do you do? Hang around for the 2 hours it will likely take before they go into cardiac arrest? I don't think so.
This video presented nothing and said nothing. A waste of 5 minutes I can never recover.
Dismantle the FBI and CIA forever and this kind of stuff will never happen again.
Dorothy was the biggest media star of the 20th Century. See my video about her career. Dorothy Kilgallen, gone but not forgotten.
ruclips.net/video/NT5gdZyEKIQ/видео.html
In your country maybe, she was certainly a character. We have/had equals here in Britain...
If people in the United Kingdom are enjoying videos about Dorothy Kilgallen or various episodes of What’s My Line on which she uses her intelligence, they should thank Americans for providing the suspense or amusement.
If Americans hadn’t revived interest in this woman more than 25 years after her death, English people would not have.
The reason that the Marilyn Monroe conspiracy got multimedia exposure as far back as 1985 is that journalist Anthony Summers, who was based in Ireland and the United Kingdom at the time, had been familiar with Marilyn since he was a child. Millions of Irish and English people knew who she was even if they had been born during her last years or after she died. Her movies were telecast there and revived in cinemas in London and Dublin throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
So it was easy for a Londoner to tell a Dublin resident that twenty years ago Marilyn Monroe died possibly under mysterious circumstances. They were already familiar with the American person whose death might have been suspicious.
But the name Dorothy Kilgallen meant nothing to them for many decades until Americans uploaded video of her to RUclips. It is nice that a United Kingdom resident such as you is learning that an American woman could have been famous because of her intelligence long ago. You’re welcome.
Interesting ✝️🇺🇸💕
Was Atlanta one of her enemies?
Kilgallen was ahead of her time. She knew what we all now know. That Oswald was a friend of Kennedy; that he did not shoot the president; that Kennedy was shot from behind with a revolver or a hand gun; that Kennedy was alive when he was taken into hospital but finished off there; that the bodies were swapped so there would be no proof of any of this. Kilgallen was not brilliant. She was very mediocre. But she smelled the story and she went for it. Sadly, what the mediocre minded Ms. Kilgallen did not know as that one of her best friends, a co-panelist on `What`s My line?`, was working for the Home Team. It was either he or someone else whom she knew and trusted that gained access to her apartment on the night she was murdered. The report mentions there was no forced entry so Kilgallen had to have known and trusted the man. Shall we all be PARANOID about door men cause the concierge in her building obviously knew whoever the friend was on the night of Kilgallen`s death he arrived with 2/3 thugs (probably dressed as work men alleged there to fix the plumbing or whatever)!!
That was a good finish to this peice,who benefits from gambling?DK never made it to New Orleans.
great!

@@erniebuchinski3614 ...gunga galunga gunga gunga lagunga ....
In years to come the same stories will be coming out about 9/11
Kilgallen nick name was cookie
Kilgallen had one over-the-railing exchange with Ruby in court, where he could have come forward and said anything, her reporting was just going to be one chapter of a larger book about trials she had covered and was not due to be published until months later, hardly an urgent expose. She did not die until *twenty months* later, said nothing explosive in her regular news column, her trademark boasting aside, never displayed any sign she possessed information dangerous to her own safety, even appearing on her regular gig on What's My Line without a care in the world.
She was hardly less high-profile a person than JFK himself and murdering her would attract a massive amount of attention, publicity and investigation. How exactly did some phantom conspiracy approach and recruit the cops on the New York City Police Department to become accessories to murder to no gain to themselves whatsoever without any of them ever cracking, confessing or being found out in 57 years.
Oddly enough, whatever sinister villains had to take a massive risk to "rub her out" never touched any witness in or near the limo, in the plaza, filming the assassination, in the TSBD, on the Secret Service, in the motorcade, at the Tippit crime scene, Oswald's landlady, the shoe store clerk, any witness in the theater, any of the medical staff at either hospital, Ruby himself, Jim Garrison or any of his stooges, or any of the crackpot conspiracy authors who spent years crowing loud and long about how they were going to blow the case wide open...
And Marilyn Monroe's similar in bed drug induced claim as causal still similarly witness free, but circumstantially questionable
Who believes Oswald acted alone? js
Then why did they lock the classified docs up for another 75 years. Oh yeah nothing to see here…. Yeah right.
Aaron Z tosses around a lot of misinformation! Dorothy's fatal flaw was tipping her hand. She told friends she was going to blow the lid off the Kennedy assassination. Shortly thereafter she was dead from an alcohol and barbiturate cocktail and all her notes on JFK were gone.
@@mind-brainstudio927 and you toss around a lot of paranoia and misinformation. I repeat my above comments.

`They WAHINE and DAHINE and try to impress`. What rubbish! Most journalists, never mind celebrity journalists, cannot get the time of day. We also do not get paid. I am a BIG TIME celebrity journalist. Have interviewed everyone from Mick Jagger to Alfred Hitchcock. America is too cheap to put us on payroll. Instead we are paid a flat fee, often as little as $250 for a piece of writing. OUt of this we have to pay rent, telephone; buy food and clothes; pay electric, water and heat; have some dental work. We do not get medical cover or a private pension; no unemployment, no holidays. At the end of the day while my plaudits are sung around the world, I am forced to live like a beggar, a Jewish beggar I might add because America is too cheap to pay a fair pension and to include Part B Medicare with the (laughingly free) Part A. I get $300 pcm from the Americans. Every pensioner should get a minimum of $1000 and not be asked to return to the USA and to go on the dole. Secondly, all of us in receipt of Medicare should get free Parts A and B. After all, even then we poor slobs are asked to come lup with 20% of the total bill. WHILE AMERICA pays the bill of the CARTELS and gives billions of tax dollars to places around the world being exploited by the cartels.
So she supposedly committed suicide in exactly the same manner as Marilyn Monroe? What a sham, she was murdered.
she was murdered plain and simple.
