Frank Sinatra’s Decision to Reject Marriage Proposal from Marilyn Monroe Due to Her Suicidal Thoughts, According to Podcast

In a recent episode of “The Killing Of Marilyn Monroe” podcast, it was revealed that singer Frank Sinatra chose not to marry actress Marilyn Monroe due to her dark despair and suicidal ideations.

The episode, released on September 16, delved into Sinatra's infatuation with Monroe during the early 1960s and his desire to tie the knot with the young starlet.

Entertainment journalist Charles Casillo shared insights on Sinatra's feelings for Monroe, stating that the singer fell under her spell and treated her differently than any other woman.

He also mentioned that Sinatra was quite protective of her.

However, Sinatra's plans to marry Monroe were derailed after he discussed his intentions with his lawyer.

According to Casillo, Sinatra sought legal advice about marrying Monroe, but his attorney advised against it.

The lawyer allegedly warned Sinatra that if Monroe were to commit suicide while being his wife, he would be remembered as the person responsible for her death.

The attorney believed that marrying America's beloved actress would have a detrimental impact on Sinatra's career.

Aside from Sinatra, Monroe's previous marriages to Arthur Miller and Joe DiMaggio were also fraught with challenges.

Celebrity biographer Mark Bego revealed that Monroe's union with Miller was doomed from the start due to her s**-symbol status in the industry.

Miller's intellectual circle reportedly did not take Monroe seriously, seeing her only as a movie star and a s** symbol.

Monroe's marriage to DiMaggio faced similar obstacles.

Biographer Jerome Charyn claimed that DiMaggio was deeply in love with Monroe but became increasingly insecure as their honeymoon drew attention solely to Monroe's fame rather than his own baseball career.

DiMaggio wanted Monroe to leave show business and be solely his wife, which ultimately led to their divorce.

“The Killing of Marilyn Monroe” podcast, a 12-part series, explores the hidden aspects of Monroe's life before her controversial death on August 5, 1962.

While some believe that Monroe's severe depression drove her to take her own life, others suspect foul play in her death.

Hollywood historian Bill Birnes suggests that Monroe's tumultuous s** scandals were predictable, given her troubled childhood.

From a young age, Monroe, born Norma Jean, experienced a traumatic upbringing as an orphan and revealed instances of s**ual abuse.

According to Birnes, her innocence was shattered at an early age, turning her into a s**ual figure before she even reached her teenage years.
