Investigated as a National Security Threat
The FBI investigated Marilyn Monroe over suspicions that she sympathized with communist ideologies. They compiled a 34-page file to monitor the actress for any connections to communism in the years leading up to her death.
Monroe’s file focused on her travels and associations as they sought any signs of leftist views. Over the years, the FBI files on Monroe have intrigued investigators, biographers, and those who do not believe her death at her Los Angeles home was a suicide. However, the bureau never found any evidence to suggest that she was a member of the Communist Party.
