So much for Camelot.

The auction of an alleged sex-tape starring Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert, will not go ahead.The tape was supposedly seized by police in Tulare County, California after its owner, a former Hollywood bodyguard-turned-memorabilia collector defaulted on a debt to the courts.

However, the auction, which was due to take place today, has been cancelled after owner William Castleberry settled the $200,000 debt, Tulare County Sheriff's Department said.

Mr Castleberrry owed $200,000 for a previous court judgement against him, however someone covered his costs after the auction was announced, his attorneys told TMZ.
The gossip site reported that Mr Castleberry’s representatives do not know who paid the debt for him, but that his belongings, which include the 8mm home movie, will be returned to him.


Last week, Mr Castleberry claimed to RadarOnline the 8 mm film shows Monroe and the Kennedy brothers engaging in rooksin, but says it was not made public out of respect for Marilyn Monroe's former husband, baseball player Joe DiMaggio.

'It’s real. I had it for years and I never released it out of respect for Joe DiMaggio… I’m just sick about it and I’m desperately trying to raise money to get it back,’ he told the site.


Castleberry, 56, said he lost the tape after lawyers demanded a $90,000 balloon payment while he was paying off a $200,000 judgement for selling a fake statue.

Fake statute....fake video?

‘They demanded a $90,000 payment I couldn’t afford and that is when the sheriff came in and seized the sex tape and all of my other memorabilia I have been collecting my entire life,’ he told the site.

Attorney Ryan Sullivan added that he heard of the tape’s existence and even personally found an 8 mm canister while Castleberry’s house was ransacked by repo men.
‘I was able to locate a 8 mm film in a canister at the house, which was turned over to [authorities],’ said the lawyer, who is representing the plaintiffs ripped off by the phony statue.
Sullivan noted that he has not viewed the tape and cannot verify its contents.
‘I have no idea what is on the tape, it could be what Mr. Castleberry says, or it could be a Disney cartoon,’ said Sullivan. ‘The only way anyone will ever know is if they buy it and view it.’
Castleberry’s valuables was supposed to be auctioned off with a minimum bid of $200,000 for the whole collection, in order to cover his debt.

The family of private eye Fred Otash, hired by the troubled starlet to record her phone calls, admitted last year that he spied on JFK and Monroe during their illicit affair, and said he filmed the tape, according to RadarOnline.

Never realized Peter Lawford introduced her.

His wife did NOT attend:

May 19th, 1962

In May of 1962, Marilyn Monroe helped to celebrate President John F. Kennedy's 45th birthday at a spectacular party in Madison Square Garden. JFK's joke about Monroe's "sweet and wholesome" rendition of "Happy Birthday" was inspired not only by her scorching delivery, but also by the skin-tight dress into which she had been sewn for the occasion.

In 1999, the dress fetched over $1.26 million at a New York auction. The explanation for this fantastic price lies partly in the fact that Monroe wore it in her last important public performance, and partly in the fact that it has come to be seen as symbolic evidence of her sexual relationship with Kennedy. While nothing about this affair appeared in print while Monroe and Kennedy were alive, it is now routinely reported as certain in biographical accounts of both figures.

At the end of February 1962 the British actor Peter Lawford and his wife Pat - John F. Kennedy's sister - invited Marilyn Monroe to a dinner party in New York that was being held to honour the President.

'Jack' Kennedy loved Hollywood culture and celebrities, especially beautiful actresses, or, more specifically, beautiful blonde actresses - though he never tossed a brunette or redhead out of his bed either.

Marilyn had actually met Kennedy twice before, once when their flirtatiousness was noticed by onlookers, but she did not have a chance to speak to him in depth.

Dinner was at eight, but at 9pm Marilyn was still sitting in front of her dressing-table mirror, putting the finishing touches to her make-up. Notoriously late for everything, she was happy to keep the President of the United States waiting.


She eventually arrived at JFK's hotel, more than an hour late, with Lawford's business partner Milt Ebbins. She drew a deep breath, smoothed down her dress and said: 'OK, shall we?'

'When she walked in, it was like the parting of the Red Sea,' Ebbins recalled. 'There were about 25 people in there and the crowd divided into halves as she walked through the room.'

The actress Arlene Dahl, who was also at that party, said: 'Marilyn walked in and everything stopped, everyone stopped. It was magical, really. I've never seen anyone stop a room like that.

'The President turned around and you could see that he was immediately attracted to her. "Finally! You're here," he said, with a big smile. "There are some people here who are dying to meet you." Then she was descended upon. People just wanted to stand near her, smell her fragrance, breathe the same air.'



JFK took Marilyn's arm and off they went to the table - but not before turning to Ebbins and giving him a wry little smile and a wink.

Before she left, JFK asked for her phone number. Of course, she gave it to him. He called her the very next day with a suggestion - he was going to be in Palm Springs on March 24, why not join him there? Oh, and incidentally, he told her: 'Jackie [his long-suffering and much cheated-on wife] won't be there.'

Philip Watson, a former Los Angeles county assessor, met Marilyn while she was with Kennedy at Bing Crosby's Spanish-style house in Palm Springs. He recalls that she seemed calm and relaxed, and was wearing what he described as 'kind of a robe thing' - which was not too out of place, as there were a lot of people by the pool.


'There was no question in my mind that Marilyn and the President were together,' he said. 'They were having a good time. She'd had a lot to drink. It was obvious they were intimate and that they were staying there together for the night.'


The tryst was to have unforeseen tragic consequences. While Marilyn became obsessed with the President, for him the weekend with the world's most desirable woman was simply another notch - albeit an impressive one - on his bedstead.

'Jack was pretty much done with her after Palm Springs,' said Florida Senator George Smathers, a good friend of Kennedy's. 'JFK told me that they were talking and he happened to say something to her like: "You're not really First Lady material, anyway, Marilyn." He said it really stuck in her craw. She didn't like hearing that.

'I think he only saw her one more time, and that was when she came into Washington unexpectedly and we - he, I and a few others - took her sailing on a motorboat down the Potomac River.


'We got back at 11.30 at night. She didn't stay at the White House, she stayed somewhere else. There was no hanky-panky between her and JFK that night. I know, because I asked him the next day and he would have happily said so.


'But, anyway, Jackie knew about that trip. In fact, we were dancing at a White House ball and she said to me: "Don't think I'm naive about what you and Jack are doing with all those pretty girls, like Marilyn, sailing on the Potomac under the moonlight."


'She was accustomed to Kennedy's indiscretions, but this one bothered her. She knew from what she'd heard and read that Marilyn was a troubled woman. It wasn't so much that she was angry about it, more that she was just disgusted.'


Sadly, Jackie was the only person close to the President who had realised - or voiced concern about - Marilyn's vulnerability. Even the briefest glance at her psychological history should have set off alarm bells among Kennedy's aides that this was one woman not to be seduced and discarded like so many other of his conquests.

The scars of Marilyn's past were visible to anyone who chose to look, and her impulsive and drug-fuelled behaviour repeated itself throughout all her relationships.

This, then, was the turbulent background against which Marilyn's doomed friendship with the all-powerful Kennedy clan grew. Yet none of them seems to have wondered for a moment whether her instability would rebound on them.
The Kennedy connection was forged in the spring of 1960 while Marilyn was in Los Angeles. She met a woman who would not only go on to become a good friend but would actually alter the course of her life - Patricia Kennedy Lawford.


The sixth of Joe and Rose Kennedy's nine children and sister to JFK and Bobby, Pat's marriage to Peter Lawford was troubled almost from the start because of the actor's drinking habits, his serial infidelity and, later, his obsession with trying to fit in with Frank Sinatra's notorious Rat Pack.

Befriending Marilyn added more glamour to Pat's already high-flying lifestyle - but also gave her someone unique to introduce to her more successful siblings, especially Jack, by then President of the United States.


The dinner party invitation she issued in order for Marilyn to meet Jack led to the Palm Springs weekend. But my research shows that, contrary to decades of speculative reports of an intimate, protracted relationship, what Marilyn really shared with JFK was either one or two nights of probable passion.

As one Secret Service agent stated: 'We all knew about the weekend. It wasn't until she and the President were both dead that people started talking about an affair. Trust me, no one was saying anything about an affair in 1962.

'What we knew was that JFK and Marilyn had sex at Bing Crosby's, and that's it. We didn't think it was a big deal. He had sex with a lot of women. She was just one of many and it wasn't that noteworthy.

'If there was more to it between them, they somehow managed to keep it from us - and I don't think you can keep something like that from the Secret Service.'

The weekend in Palm Springs might have been no more to JFK than a thrilling conquest, but to Marilyn it meant much, much more. Afterwards she thought of little else and was obsessed with seeing him again.

Rupert Allan, Marilyn's publicist, recalled that she seemed 'fixated on the President. It started to become unclear as to what was going on between them, even though I thought it wasn't much. She was acting like she wanted more, though.'


One secret agent working for the Kennedy administration added: 'She was calling him a lot. She wanted to see him. Everyone knew it.'

But the interest wasn't mutual - he wasn't returning her calls to the White House. Sinatra's friend and valet George Jacobs enjoyed many conversations with JFK during the President's stays at the singer's home.

'I spent enough time with the man to know that no woman, not even his wife, was sacred to him,' he said. 'His need was like that of Alexander the Great: to conquer the world. To him, Marilyn was one more conquest, a trophy - maybe the Great White Shark of Hollywood, but still a record, not a romance.'
For Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn was a girlfriend too far. In fact, some months later Jackie made it clear to JFK that she was deeply unhappy about the televised Madison Square Garden concert in which Marilyn breathlessly sang 'Happy Birthday Mr President' to JFK. Jackie threatened to file for divorce immediately, before the next presidential campaign, thereby jeopardising his chances of being re-elected.

'But Jack was already done with Marilyn anyway, by that time,' said George Smathers. 'He had this other girl named Mary Meyer he was playing around with, and there was always [his mistress] Judith Exner... and there were others, one of whom was rumoured to be the actress Angie Dickinson.

'His view of Marilyn was that she was a verry sweet girl, but to him sweet girls were a dime a dozen and Marilyn was trouble. She began to ask for opportunities to come to Washington, to the White House, that sort of thing. But he told Jackie: "Look, it really is over. It was nothing anyway."

'Jack told me: "It's not worth it, George. I have a free ride here with Jackie. She gives me great latitude. So if this one is going to be an issue for her and cause me problems with respect to her dealing with the other women, then, fine, I can live without this one. No problem. So let's just end it with Marilyn before it's too late."

'So I called someone I knew, a friend of Marilyn's I could trust, and said: "I need you to put a bridle on Marilyn's mouth and stop her from talking so much about what's going on with Jack. It's starting to get around too much."

'That's all I did to end things, my little contribution. But I know what Jack did: he stopped taking her calls, if he ever took any. As far as he was concerned, he was done with her. But, Marilyn... well, she wouldn't be so easily got rid of, let's put it that way.'

Rupert Allan said: 'If Kennedy had handled Marilyn differently, things might not have turned out so badly. But just ducking her as he did - not good.'
Kennedy never personally told Marilyn it was over. Instead, he dispatched his brother Bobby, the Attorney General, to inform her that she was not to call the White House again.

He was told to make it clear that the relationship - or whatever it was she thought she had with him - was finished.

'Marilyn was a very obsessive and neurotic person,' said Diane Stevens, who worked for Marilyn's publicist John Springer. 'She was mentally ill, let's face it. She was on drugs and not thinking clearly and just went over the edge when it came to this man, and, truly, I do not know why. It [Palm Springs] had just been a weekend, after all.

'But for some reason it became, looking back on it now, the catalyst for her total ruination. The fact that he would not return her calls drove her mad.'

And before long, she would tip over the precipice.

Marilyn Monroe spent her last night alive at Frank Sinatra’s lodge with a Mafia boss, according to extraordinary new claims.The Hollywood actress is said to have spent the evening with Sam Giancana after taking the singer’s private jet to Cal-Neva Lodge in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
There the gangster – with whom she was allegedly in love – apparently tried to persuade her not to go public about her affair with President John F Kennedy.

She flew home to Los Angeles early the following morning and was found dead that night. Later a coroner ruled that the death was a ‘probable’ suicide.


The claims are the first time that any mention has been made of such a trip in the days before Monroe died in 1962. If true, they would rewrite the final act in the actress’s life and raise fresh questions about her death.


The disclosure was made by George Masters, Monroe’s hair and make-up stylist, in recordings he made a month before his death in 1998.

The cassette tapes were found by his nephew, Jeff Platts, and have now been made public. In a frail voice, Mr Masters can be heard on the recordings saying: ‘The night before she died, the last time I saw her, was in Lake Tahoe at the Cal-Neva Lodge. She was there with Sam Giancana, who was the head of the Mafia.’
Monroe and Mr Masters apparently flew back to Los Angeles where he dropped her off at her home around 9am on Sunday August 5 1962. It has been documented that Monroe was at Sinatra’s lodge two weekends before her death, but now it appears that she was called back for a one-to-one chat with Giancana, a friend of Sinatra.


Mr Platts, 60, a sales consultant from California, said: ‘What if this trip George talks about was a last-ditch effort to get her to agree not to talk [about the Kennedys]?


‘What if Sam Giancana said, “Look, Frank, you didn’t get it done. She’ll listen to me. Let’s bring her back again so I can have a shot at it”.
‘George specifically told me that Marilyn spent the evening with Sam Giancana. The only other person he mentioned that was there was [singer] Buddy Greco.


‘No Frank Sinatra, no Dean Martin. George also said that the person she was really in love with at that moment was Sam Giancana.’


Following Monroe’s death a host of conspiracy theories emerged, but on the tapes Masters is clear about the reason why she died.
‘It was because of the Kennedys. I really think the FBI did it,’ he says. Masters also appears to confirm the theory that Monroe was moved around before she died.
‘Did you know she was pronounced dead, and then they brought her back to the house, and she was still alive, and they took her back to the hospital, and brought her back home, and then the coroners came over, and they found her dead in another bed – somebody moved her,’ he says.

So what onoo tink a dis on what is just days before the 52nd anniversary of her performance at JFK's birthday party?

[Tropicana]

A HOLLYWOOD private eye had tapes of Marilyn Monroe and John F Kennedy having sex and even taped her death after she had a massive argument with Bobby Kennedy, it has emerged.Documents belonging to Fred Otash, one of Hollywood's most notorious private detectives who died in 1992, were uncovered by his daughter Colleen after being found in a suburban storage unit.
According to Otash Monroe had a sexual relationship with the brothers and on August 5, 1962, complained about being "passed around like a piece of meat", theHollywood Reporter reports.
Otash claimed he had listened to Marilyn Monroe die after he had taped an argument she had with Robert Kennedy and actor Peter Lawford, Kennedy's brother-in-law.
"She said she was passed around like a piece of meat. It was a violent argument about their relationship and the commitment and promises he made to her," Otash said in the files.
"She was really screaming and they were trying to quiet her down. She's in the bedroom and Bobby gets the pillow, and he muffles her on the bed to keep the neighbours from hearing. She finally quieted down and then he was looking to get out of there."
As for the famous wire-tapping of Monroe and JFK having sex, Otash fessed up toVanity Fair not long before his death.
"I would have kept it quiet all my life. But all of a sudden, I'm looking at FBI files and CIA files with quotes from my investigators telling them about the work they did on my behalf," he said.
"It's stupid to sit here and deny that these things are true. Yes, we did have (Lawford's house, where the trysts took place) wired. Yes, I did hear a tape of Jack Kennedy rooksing Monroe. But I don't want to get into the moans and groans of their relationship. They were having a sexual relationship - period."

It isn't a question of belief. It is a question of the myth that was spun and the stark reality of the sexual exploitation of women.

Some were willing participants but some were extremely vulnerable and he preyed on that.
