Pretty sad story, if this is true. Copied From: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/35/20090807/ten-marilyn-monroe-miscarried-curtis-bab-764dee7.html Marilyn Monroe miscarried Curtis' baby Friday, August 7 01:00 pm bangshowbiz.com Marilyn Monroe allegedly miscarried Tony Curtis' baby. Skip related content The blonde bombshell - who died in 1962 aged just 36 - reportedly had a fling with the Hollywood actor during the filming of 1959 movie 'Some Like It Hot', even though they were both married to other people. Curtis, who was wed to Janet Leigh at the time, claims the affair resulted in Monroe getting pregnant. She told him the news as the pair were confessing their affair to the actress' husband Arthur Miller. Curtis said: "I was stunned. I just stood there. The room was so silent that I could hear tyres screeching on Santa Monica Boulevard." But the screen legend, father of Jamie Lee Curtis, was later told by Miller - who consulted Monroe's doctor - that the baby could not be his. Curtis claims he asked Miller what they should do, to which the playwright replied: "Finish the film and stay out of our lives."

ColAlan Virdon Newly Discovered Photos of Marilyn Monroe Released! Aug 27, 2009 12:47 AM Pretty interesting read! With the exception of a reference, to the alleged JFK affair, they left the tabloid sleaze, out of this article. Unpublished photos of Marilyn Monroe surface The Monroe pictures were "in a warehouse in New Jersey" By Stephanie Chen CNN (CNN) -- They were taken before Marilyn Monroe became branded as the voluptuous blonde who oozed sex appeal in dozens of Hollywood films. They were taken before rumors of an affair with President John F. Kennedy swirled and her mental breakdowns became public. They were taken before the beautiful actress's mysterious overdose that resulted in her death at the age of 36. In a collection discovered by Life.com last month, unpublished photographs of Monroe reveal a softer, more innocent 24-year-old budding starlet in a more peaceful time, before her fame peaked. Her flawless face bears a natural look with minimal makeup, unusual for the star, who was often glamorized in photo shoots with lipstick, designer dresses and expensive jewelry. Monday would have been Monroe 's 83rd birthday. In one photo, the young Monroe lies in bliss, reading on a park bench, which editors at Life.com believe was shot at Griffith Park in Los Angeles, California. In another, her face is serene as she is perched over a bridge barefoot. The shoot, which dates to 1950, was conducted by Life photographer Ed Clark. It's a side of Monroe that the American public has rarely seen. "She hasn't really exploded as a star, yet she was on the brink of something big," says Dawnie Walton, deputy editor at Life.com, a Web site harboring more than 7 million Life magazine photographs. The site was launched in March. "I was amazed looking at her face. Although she looks very innocent, there is something very ... sexy." Last month, Walton stumbled upon the rare photographs while combing through the company's digital photo archives. Apparently, no one at Life.com even knew they were ever taken. Upon investigating the photos, Walton says, she found there were few notes left on the negatives. She says the photos were probably taken for a cover shoot that was never used. Monroe appeared on her first Life magazine cover in 1952. See some of the previously unpublished photos of Monroe » "It just got lost and stowed away," Walton said. "It was just ... somewhere in a warehouse in New Jersey." At the time the photos were shot, Monroe had her first small breakout role as a mistress in "The Asphalt Jungle." The star was better known as a model at the time, though she'd had a handful of cameos in films. Photographer Ed Clark told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune a friend from 20th Century Fox alerted him that the studio had just signed "a hot tomato." "She was unknown then, so I was able to spend a lot of time shooting her," Clark said. "We'd go out to Griffith Park and she'd read poetry. I sent several rolls to Life in New York, but they wired back, 'Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe ?'
