The Production company Firm Engine has re-opened the case of Marilyn Monroe's death in a movie scheduled to star Naomi Watts according to our sources. Thus far, the movie will simply be titled "Marilyn" and could possibly feature the song "Candle In The Wind" by Sir Elton John."
The company has optioned the life rights of Lionel Grandison, a deputy Los Angeles coroner, Lionel Grandison, who claims he was forced to falsify Monroe's death certificate to say it was a suicide rather than murder.
Grandison also contends that he read Monroe's diary, which was given to him in order to help find her next of kin at the time of her death. He claims he was in possession of the diary for several days. Grandison is still alive, believe it or not, but the diary could not be found.
The Marilyn Movie will apparently bring Grandison's story to the big-screen for the first time. His involvement with Monroe's case has been mentioned in several books. Her death is one of the great mysteries of Hollywood and American culture.
Naomi Watts will wear the famous white dress, sing 'happy birthday' to 'John Kennedy' and stand over a subway grate for the white dress to fly over her head.
The full-figured beautiful blond and beloved sex symbol still has many fans worldwide.
Monroe's tragic passing has been the subject of many works of non-fiction that looked into the possible cover-up and conspiracy surrounding her death.
With all the Kennedy's now away, I guess it's time to play. Keep checking on entertainment shows for the latest.
