Who was Marilyn Monroe's second husband?

You might know that Monroe was married to Joe DiMaggio in 1954, and then to Arthur Miller in 1956, but in 1942, when she was teenaged Norma Jean Baker, she married James Dougherty.

This makes baseball star DiMaggio her second husband, not her first.

Yves Montand is a former boyfriend of the bombshell, and Aristotle Onassis is the second husband of Jackie Kennedy - whose first husband JFK famously adored Monroe.

Rumor Mill has it that JFK did more than "Adored" her. "Happy Birthday Mr. President".

...and Elvis still works in Walmart - pigs fly too but you can't see them unless you're wearing a tinfoil hat! You never know the facts because you believe what you read rather than make the effort to use your own brain.

Joe DiMaggio is mentioned in two famous songs. Mrs Robinson, Simon & Garfunkel, and We Didn’t Start the Fire, Billy Joel.

Barbara Jackson, Bobby Kennedy and Peter Lawford visited her the evening she died along with Dr. Feelgood. There is a helicopter flight plan listing Bobby Kennedy as passenger from San Francisco where he was vacationing with family that evening. Things didn’t add up at the crime scene. No drugs in her stomach on autopsy report. A good book is “The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe”.

James Vetzel, Agreed!!

Rob Farr

Controversial, but hey, thanks for the question and the points.

Carlos Cruz, and, you believe that J Edgar Hoover, who hated the Kennedys so much that he stayed awake at night to hate them for a longer time, would not have revealed the truth if the Kennedys were involved ?

Barbara Jackson, there are no official investigation the has proved she was murdered. And, suicide by overdose in no way seems impkausible in her case.
