A prominent figure in the American cultural landscape, Marilyn Monroe, known for her wit, beauty, and untimely demise, has long been a subject of fascination.
Despite evading the criticisms of aging or artificial enhancements during her lifetime, a new documentary suggests that she may have faced further indignities after her death.
The film proposes that Monroe, often underestimated as a mere blonde bombshell, was subjected to unauthorized photography post-mortem.
The latest installment of Fox News's investigative series, Scandalous, delves into the life and death of Monroe, shedding light on previously undisclosed events.
Devik Weiner, son of renowned photographer Leigh Wiener, alleges that his father surreptitiously entered the morgue to capture images of Monroe's lifeless body.
This clandestine act purportedly involved bribing morgue staff with alcohol to obtain access to the actress following her fatal overdose on August 4th, 1962.
Among the snapshots taken by Weiner, one gained widespread attention—a photograph revealing Monroe's feet, labeled with an identification tag, within the morgue locker.
However, according to Weiner, his father also took more intrusive photographs of the iconic star.
Fortunately, it appears that he made a conscious decision not to publicize images of Monroe's n^de remains.
“The final two rolls of film, containing imagery extending beyond the identification tag, were brought back to his personal studio, where they were developed, reviewed, and promptly secured in a safe deposit box,” disclosed Weiner in the documentary.
