>> he had been disinherited from the vanderbilt fortune. >> he had been associated where a wide number of communists and left-leaning causes throughout his time in america and mexico. >> as the memo continued it seemed less concerned about the political aspects and more about the romantic as it became clear that a relationship was developing between field and monroe. one of the most of intriguing aspect of the report may be the source. eunice' churchill. it led many to believe she was using an alias. >> she has leftist leaning because of her marriage to

i'm aishah hasnie. >> it didn't take long for rumors to spread about hollywood's biggest star and the most of powerful man in the world. >> their schedules are so public it's easy to document their lives almost on a daily basis. the on time they could have been alone as far as i know is when they stayed in palm springs. >> sinatra planned to host the president for the weekend. but because of his alleged ties to organized crime, bobby urged him not to attend.
10:22 pm
and it was changed to bobby kennedy. >> early in the day he met with former president eisenhower. >> a large group of hollywood notables were in attendance. marilyn monroe is among the overnight guest. it is there she and the president allegedly shared time alone. >> there is no other documentation that can put marilyn and the president alone that's verified at the same time. if anything happened it would have been a one-time thing. >> regardless of the status, her relationship with the kennedy brothers raised eyebrows with the fbi. two separate letters to hoover document their concerns. and reportedly challenges mr. kennedy proposed to her by miller. another memo reports that marilyn asked the president a lot of socially significant
10:23 pm
questions concerning the morality of nuclear testing. if she is being used by the communist party, it's not general knowledge among those working with the movement. >> there is no indication anything else comes from that. there was nothing illegal about her lunch with peter lawford there will be was nothing criminal about her trip to mexico or her marriage to arthur. it's simply reporting of what has been brought to the bureau's attention. >> marilyn always saw herself-worth in the eyes of the men she could attract. there was almost something shakespearean about her last year. she was the beautiful queen going mad, looking to the king and his brother, the prince to
10:24 pm
prove she was still the queen. >> marilyn had more of a relationship with bobby kennedy than she ever had with jfk. >> she looked at him as a savior of that period. >> in the decades that followed rumors would swirl around marilyn and bobby's relationship. it is confirmed the two met up in several locations. >> i met him once at the house. and marilyn invited him to come see her new kitchen. >> i went out to mayor behind to show her some of the pictures and i saw bobby kennedy. he came by the swimming pool. and she jumped in and started to swim toward him. i said marilyn, i will catch up with you again. i don't think i wanted to stay, looking back. sometimes mysteries in life are more interesting than all the answers.
10:25 pm
>> in april 1962 shooting began on what was to be marilyn's 30th motion picture. a remake called "something has got to give." >> elizabeth taylor was filming cleopatra and was making all the headlines. because the script was flimsy and marilyn needed a hedge, she fell back on one of her resources that never failed, and that's her body. >> she devised a publicity stunt with the help of the photographer. >> i was hired to photograph marilyn again. i'm out at the house going through the script. and she looked at me and said what would happen if i went into the swimming pool with my bathing suit on but i came out with nothing on. as we started that day she went
10:26 pm
into the swimming pool with that nude colored bathing suit. but each time she came to the edge of the pool she had less of the bathing suit on. i think 90% of the cameramen didn't know what was happening. she came up to the edge of the pool and flipped her right leg over the edge of the pool. as my daughter would say many years later, daddy, that's a picture that shows nothing but says everything. >> marilyn's relationship with the studio was continuing to erode. >> she was going through a lot of problems that summer so they would soot around her. where she used to be late maybe hours. now she was late for days. they were saying we have to get this film done. in the middle of it she took off one day of shooting and she flew to new york to sing happy
10:27 pm
birthday to the president. because the studio was so far behind, they said no, no, no. but do you think marilyn ever took no for an answer. >> in 1962, 15,000 people packed into madison square garden for a democratic fundraising events. performers included ella fitzgerald, and jack benny. marilyn monroe would be introduced by peter lawford. >> this lovely lady is not only beautiful, she is punctual. >> it was a running joke that marilyn was late. he would introduce her and she wouldn't show up. >> marilyn monroe. and marilyn monroe.
10:28 pm
marilyn doesn't come out. lawford takes a deep pause, and out of the corner of his eye, there is mayor continue in a tight dress. >> ladies and gentlemen, the late marilyn monroe. >> she comes out with an extra emphasis on that little voice of hers. >> happy birthday to you ♪ happy birthday, mr. president ♪ ♪ happy birthday to you >> a lot of people like to say she went on stage drunk and floundered around with his performance. actually it was rehearsed exactly the way she wanted it to come out.
10:29 pm
there was an after party in new york. the president and marilyn are photographed together. this is the only documented photograph of the three of them in the same room. >> while her appearance was being celebrated in new york, it was not so well testified by studio bosses in hollywood. out of 33 shooting days, she managed to show up only 12 times. >> 21th century fox thanked "something's got to give" and "cleopatra" with elizabeth taylor. they can't get control over either of them. >> on marilyn's 36th birthday, the cast and crew threw her a party.
10:30 pm
>> they gave her a party with the cast and andles, then they fired her. when you think how she feared getting older and she feared facing the camera because she couldn't live up to the image she created. after she turned 36, she never faced the camera again.
