Marilyn..Diana..just another victim? In one of my favourite books, The Case Against The Sexual Revolution, the author starts by giving a summary of the late movie icon, Marilyn Monroe. Louise Perry writes about the life of Marilyn and that when she died, her body was a mess because of multiple abortions and substance abuse. To paraphrase Louise’s words, even in death, Marilyn could not be left alone by men. The former Playboy founder Hugh Hefner whose magazine featured many nude and topless photo shoots of women, including Marilyn, ensured that he would be buried next to her body.
