Marilyn Monroe: The Secret Affair with Marlon Brando and the Mystery of Her Death

Marlon Brando, in his autobiography “Songs My Mother Taught Me,” disclosed the hidden truth about his affair with fellow Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe.

Both Monroe and Brando were renowned actors, considered s** symbols of their time, and had a magnetic pull when it came to love affairs.

It comes as no surprise that they had a passionate relationship, as revealed by Brando in his book published in 1994.

Brando also delved into speculation surrounding Monroe's death on August 4, 1962, at the age of 36.

While some suspected suicide as the cause, Brando claimed that Monroe called him shortly before her demise, adding more mystery to the circumstances surrounding her tragic end.

According to Brando's autobiography, their affair began after an accidental encounter at a party in New York.

Brando had just finished filming “A Streetcar Named Desire” when he bumped into Monroe, who was attending classes with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio.

While others enjoyed the party, Monroe quietly played the piano alone in a corner.

When Brando unintentionally hit her face with his elbow, she responded with a deadpan remark: “There are no accidents.”

Brando's apology was met with laughter, and he jokingly criticized her piano skills.

Thus, the foundation for their friendship was laid.

Their friendship soon developed into a romantic relationship.

Brando mustered the courage to call Monroe one night and expressed his desire to see her immediately.

She invited him over, and their intimate encounter fulfilled Brando's fantasies.

Their bond extended beyond physical attraction; Brando described Monroe as a sensitive and misunderstood person who possessed perceptive qualities that were often overlooked.

He believed she had a strong emotional intelligence, which enabled her to understand the feelings of others on a profound level.

Following their initial encounter, Monroe and Brando engaged in lengthy phone conversations and continued seeing each other sporadically until her death.

During their time together, Monroe confided in Brando about feeling exploited and mistreated by others.

Brando's last conversation with Monroe took place just days before her death.

She called him to arrange a dinner date, but Brando had to decline due to conflicting plans.

Rumors circulated after Monroe's untimely demise, suggesting that her possible break-up with Robert Kennedy may have been connected to her death, as she was believed to have had affairs with both Robert and John F. Kennedy.

However, Brando dismissed these theories, stating that Monroe would not have invited him on a date if she were involved with Kennedy.

Contrary to popular belief, Brando did not believe Monroe ended her own life.

Based on his final conversation with her, he sensed no signs of depression or suicidal thoughts.

Monroe appeared carefree and at peace during their exchange, leading Brando to conclude that she was not in a dark place mentally.

He firmly believed that he would have intuitively detected any troubles she faced, given the bond they shared over the years.

Instead, Brando suspected foul play and even suggested that Monroe may have been murdered.

Although Monroe's death was officially ruled as a possible suicide, some theories propose that she might have been the victim of foul play.

Nevertheless, no investigation has substantiated these claims surrounding the untimely demise of the iconic actress.
