One of the most desired women in the history of cinema and who has always generated great controversy is the actress Marilyn Monroe, actually called Norma Jean Baker. Today she is still considered a cultural icon throughout the world and, despite the fact that her death occurred 55 years ago, she is still in the news. She precisely now she has become the cover of numerous media because it seems that a mystery regarding her private life has been solved. Specifically, it has been revealed that it has been discovered whether or not she was really pregnant.
Do you want to get out of doubt? We tell you everything below.
The mistery
One of the great enigmas about the personal life of the actress in films such as "With Skirts and Crazy" (1959) or "How to Marry a Millionaire" (1953) was whether she was pregnant or not. The list of romantic relationships that she had and having had three husbands (James Dougherty, Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller) always made her suspect that she, at some point, could have become pregnant.
However, she never got to know, despite the fact that the rumors that she had been pregnant were very strong. And the interested party herself never entered "the rag" to make comments about it.
Today it is known that Marilyn Monroe...
However, now, more than half a century after she died of still very unique causes that continue to maintain a halo of obscurantism, it seems that the mystery has been solved. Thus, it has been revealed that she was expecting a child, according to some images that have been made public.
Specifically, it has been established that these snapshots prove that Marilyn Monroe in July 1960 was pregnant. Of course, everything indicates that the baby that was on the way was not the result of her marriage to the playwright Arthur Miller.
Who was her father then? As exposed, the father of that creature was none other than the French actor Yves Montand, with whom he had an affair during the time that the filming of the movie "Let's Make Love" (1960) lasted. It was a film directed by the prestigious George Cukor, in which the love story that arose between the characters they played, a billionaire and an actress, was told.
The photos that prove it
As we have mentioned, now is when it seems that the mystery of pregnancy has been solved. And it was all thanks to the fact that a close friend of Monroe's, Frieda Hull, before she died, sold some photographs to someone close to her. This has now allowed them to come to light, starring the actress, which have been kept secret for more than fifty years.
Those images were taken, specifically, on July 8, 1960 outside the Fox Studios facilities in New York City. And it is there that the actress was doing wardrobe and hairdressing tests to start filming the movie "The Misfits", which she shot with two leading men like Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift.
What is seen in them so that it has been confirmed that she was expecting a baby? Basically a considerably bulging belly for what Marilyn's silhouette was, which indicated that she was in the early stages of the gestation period.
What happened to the baby?
If she was pregnant, we are assailed by the question: what happened to the baby then? Well, she died before she was born. Specifically, it seems that the actress lost it naturally, because she suffered from what is known as endometriosis. This is a benign disease that, among its main symptoms, brings with it both severe pain during menstruation and severe difficulties in conceiving. And both situations suffered from Monroe.
Thus, her friend seems to have told the now owner of the photographs that the actress had always dreamed of being her mother, but she could never achieve it because of that problem that led her to lose the baby she was expecting from Montand. . However, according to the same woman, it was not the only abortion she suffered, before that she had three more.
Hence, the icon of the mecca of Hollywood cinema died without being able to make her dream of having a child come true. That was perhaps the only wish that she could not fulfill in her lifetime.
