New Mystery of Marilyn: Her Own Words?
(Times)
Updated: 2005-08-06 13:58 The previously unpublished portions of the transcript include descriptions of
her feelings for her ex-husbands, a dissection of why her marriages failed, a
racy catalog of supposed sexual encounters, details of her dispute with 20th
Century Fox, her friendship with Frank Sinatra, and her complaints about
housekeeper Eunice Murray, who would discover her body.
Smith and Hersh, along with the documentary's producer, Mark Obenhaus, said
in interviews this week that they found Miner credible.
But to accept Miner's story, one must make a leap of faith — he is the only
one still alive who claims to have heard the tapes. Greenson died in 1979, and
Miner believes that he destroyed the tapes.
"It's like a one-sourced story," Obenhaus said. "You have one guy; he's a
credible guy, but he's just one guy."
Smith, who said he paid Miner a fee, which he declined to disclose, for use
of the Monroe transcript, added: "I believe he is a man of integrity. I've
looked at the contents of the tapes, of course, and, frankly, I would think it
entirely impossible for John Miner to have invented what he put forward —
absolutely impossible."
Ronald H. "Mike" Carroll, a former L.A. County deputy district attorney who
conducted the 1982 review of Monroe's death, said he and a D.A.'s investigator
interviewed Miner for their report and, although he mentioned that Greenson had
tapes of the actress, there was no hint that Miner had a transcript.
Carroll, the No. 3 prosecutor in the D.A.'s office at the time, who has since
retired, said that had he any inkling that Miner was harboring the transcript,
he would have obtained a grand jury subpoena to force Miner to hand them over so
that he could include them in his report.
Miner said he couldn't speak about the transcript then because of his promise
to Greenson. "Greenson … was absolutely committed to protecting the privacy of
his patients," Miner recalled. "He felt he could not let me see what she had
said if there was any possibility that her privacy would be violated." So Miner
gave his word.
