The Secret Letter of Marilyn Monroe, by Frederic Cabanas

The book is an essay about the last days of Marilyn Monroe's life based on an unpublished document that, surprisingly, came to the hands of Frederic Cabanas, an internationally renowned marilynophile living in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona, Spain. It is a letter written by Marilyn herself, the week before she died, addressed to her friend and prestigious writer Truman Capote.

Frederic Cabanas has spent a good part of his life collecting objects related to Marilyn Monroe. When the letter amazingly reached him, he did not hesitate for a moment of its authenticity, and he immediately began to investigate. After six years of intense work and jealous caution, he is ready to make the truth known.

This “secret letter” is probably the most relevant writing left by Marilyn Monroe, and will add a new chapter to her future biographies. The text is not only revealing by the facts it describes, but also allows knowing first hand what the famous actress's feelings were at the highest yet toughest moment of her life.

The letter has remained hidden since it was written, almost 60 years ago, inside the case of a Montblanc pen, and now comes to light. It looks like a novel, but it is a real fact. The Cabanas book will announce the existence of the letter, its journey and, above all, its content, which speaks of President J. F. Kennedy, among other prominent characters of the time.

May all this be known, and may the world have a more truthful idea about who Marilyn Monroe was and how she lived. It is in your hands.
