Frank Sinatra’s Decision Not to Marry Marilyn Monroe Due to ‘Suicide’ Concern

In a recent episode of the podcast “The Killing Of Marilyn Monroe,” it was revealed that Marilyn Monroe's struggles with despair and thoughts of suicide played a significant role in halting her romance with singer Frank Sinatra.

During the fifth episode released on Monday, September 16, experts disclosed that Sinatra was deeply infatuated with Monroe in the early 1960s, to the extent of considering marrying her.

Entertainment journalist Charles Casillo shared insights in the episode, stating that Sinatra was captivated by Monroe's charm and treated her unlike any other woman he had encountered.

He was particularly protective of her.

Despite Sinatra's desire to wed Monroe, his intentions were thwarted after discussing his plans with his lawyer.

The attorney dissuaded Sinatra from pursuing the marriage, citing concerns that being married to America's beloved actress could tarnish his career.

According to Casillo, the attorney warned Sinatra that if Monroe were to take her own life while being his wife, he would forever be associated with her tragic demise.

Monroe's previous marriages to Arthur Miller and Joe DiMaggio were also marred by challenges and self-destructive tendencies.

Celebrity biographer Mark Bego highlighted that Monroe's union with Miller was troubled from the start due to her s=x-symbol status in the industry.

Bego indicated that Miller's intellectual social circle viewed Monroe solely as a movie star and s=x symbol, failing to appreciate her depth as an individual.

The podcast further delved into Monroe's traumatic experiences during her childhood, including being s–ually abused by one of her foster parents before reaching puberty.

This early trauma profoundly impacted her innocence and perception of herself.

The upcoming episodes of “The Killing of Marilyn Monroe” promise to unveil new details about the actress's private life, offering insights into her career, relationships, and untold stories.

The series, produced by the creators of the Natalie Wood podcast “Fatal Voyage: The Mysterious Death of Natalie,” releases a new episode every Monday, available for download and streaming on various podcast platforms.
