Filmdom's brightest star twinkled out in the quiet pre-dawn of a Sunday morning, dead by her own hand. Even in death the aura of drama and mystery that surrounded the rags-to-riches movie queen lingered on. s- tion to the running sheep.

Deiure urying. ne soivea dy using distilled water to dilute the photo-flo tragedy has often been compared to the untimely death of Jean Harlow, who died at the peak of her career in 1937.

She was 26 years old. There are those who said there would never be "another Jean Harlow." Some movie fans of this later generation say, "There will never be another Marilyn Monroe." Her Epitaph Miss Monroe's life began in drab Los Angeles foster homes. It ended just as tragically in one of the community's most glamorous suburbs, an area populated by movie stars and the wealthy. Marilyn never knew her father. Her mother was in a mental institution during most of Marilyn's life.

The mother recently fled the Red Home to which she is now confined. She was found in a church boiler room and returned to the home by police. Marilyn spent most of her youth in foster homes, cared for by persons who were generally indifferent about her welfare. She had three unsuccessful marriages. Her first was to James Dougherty, a policeman; then DiMaggio, and finally playwright Arthur Miller.

During the last 10 years of her life, Marilyn received more adulation and fame than almost any actress in Hollywood history. She received everything but happiness, which eluded her both in a drab childhood and in her role of a glittering movie queen. During the last months of her life, she was beset with career problems. At the time of her death, Marilyn was under suspension from 20th Century-Fox studios. The studio had fired her from the movie "Something's Got to Give" because of her failure to report for photography on many occasions.

Miss Monroe, who was co-starring with Dean Martin in the picture, said illness kept her from working. Fox has since scrapped the film taken of the picture. The studio recast the film with Doris Day and James Garner, retitling it "Move Over Darling." Miss Monroe's attitude towards her film success was best expressed in a remark she made shortly before she died. It was a quotation that could serve as her epitaph: "Fame will go by and, so longl I've had you, fame. instead 01 evidently sink water ba raiEOBEEo 'reveal heavier-than-normal Joan Ludwig from Holly- Photography took a long amount of grain.

Aug. 5, 1962, when her housekeeper, Eunice Murray, noticed a light burning under Marilyn's door. When her knocking brought no response, Mrs. Murray called the blonde actress' psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Green-son.

He came to the house, broke a window to the bedroom and found Miss Monroe dead, her hand clutching a telephone. Police cars sped to the Spanish style home that Marilyn had purchased in Brentwood, a fashionable suburb of Hollywood. A police guard was set up in front of the home to keep away the curious sightseers who always gather for a tragedy. Marilyn's body, wrapped in a pale blue blanket, lay in a small panel truck parked in the driveway leading to the house. Throughout that tragic day and for many days afterwards, movie fans and the curious drove by Marilyn's home, slowed down, looked up the driveway towards the house, then drove away.

Marilyn's death was adjudged a "probabjt suicide" by Los Angeles coroner Theodore J. Curphey. Curphey also said evidence indicated that Marilyn sought help during the last minutes of her life, as she had done successfully in past attempts at self-destruction. He said massive doses of nembutal and chloral hydrate, "gulped within a minute or so," stilled the hand of the glamour queen, face down in her bed, as she grasped a telephone. No suicide note was found.

Like Jean Harlow Hollywood is a rumor-ridden town. Within hours after the death of Miss Monroe at the age of 36, film folk began speculating about her last moments. There was curiosity about a telepnone call that Miss Monroe either made or received shortly before her death. Was she attempting to seek help? Mrs. Murray, the housekeeper, who was the last person to see Miss Monroe alive, said the actress did receive a telephone call the night of her death.

The housekeeper said Marilyn "seemed disturbed after the phone call." Mrs. Murray has said she does not know who made the calL Joe DiMaggio, ex-husband of the actress, rushed to Hollywood from San Francisco. Ha took charge of the funeral arrangements, insisting that the service be one of dignity, and not the rude display of hysterical emotions which attend some filmland funerals. No movie stars were invited to the service. Thousands of persons attended Miss Monroe's funeral, most of them curious fans who were not allowed into the services at Westwood Memorial Park in West Los Angeles where she is entombed.

Since her death, DiMaggio has arranged for roses to be placed at Marilyn'a crypt twice weekly. On her birthday, June 1, friends and fans, some anonymous, sent floral displays to the cemetery.
