For the third week of Aug. 2016 - we choose a terrific video uploaded on May 01-2016 - by our Youtube friend and colleague - Genia106 - titled "For the Gorgeous Marilyn Monroe - Al Bowlly Sings 'Just Let Me Look at You'". Since Genia106 uploads a lot of videos about Marilyn Monroe - this one is in honor of the Silver Screen Goddess'es - birthday which falls around the end of May. Genia's visuals present a lot of glorious shots of Marilyn who still has legions of followers loving her many movies - years after her premature death in Aug. 1962 which shook up many moviegoers who love Marilyn's pictures.
We need to mention one biographical picture about Marilyn's last affair with Bobby Kennedy (the attorney general) - shortly before her unfortunate overdose of barbiturates which caused her early death. The American director bases his premise on the theory that she became a possible bothersome "element" since - allegedly - she carried on affairs with Bobby Kennedy (attorney general) and Jack Kennedy - the President of the U.S. - at the same time - shortly before the time of her premature death.
Long story short - after Bobby Kennedy - came to the conclusion that she might cause problems since he was married to Ethel Kennedy whom he claimed to love as well as his numerous children with his wife - somehow - Edgar Hoover - the powerful FBI boss - got involved. The movie postulates that the ambulance which was taking her to the hospital to pump her stomach after she has attempted to kill herself - was turned back to her house - instead of taking her to the hospital where she could get help - the ambulance - instead - went back to her house where she died without getting the help which might have saved her life.
The lead vocalist of this vid - Al Bowlly - a handsome London jazz singer of Lebanese descent circa 1933 - 1942 - also met an early death during the Nazi's bombing raid of London - when he didn't respond to the warning sirens by hiding in the basement of the building.
It needs to be noted that President John Kennedy died relatively young by the assassin bullet - a year after Marilyn Monroe - while his younger brother - Bobby Kennedy an ex-attorney general - was shot to death by a killer named Sirhan-Sirhan - six years after Marilyn Monroe - overdosed on sleeping pills.
At any rate - enough of that sad stuff for one column. Everybody have a good third week of August 2016 and check out our comments on tango3721 channel of Youtube!
