Saving the legacy of Marilyn Monroe.
This website was created in good faith. To warn people from all over the world about the fraud and the criminal action of Mark A. Roesler, Anna Strasberg, Robert W. Otto, June DiMaggio, Mary Jane Popp, and all the other people who are feeding on their victim:
Marilyn Monroe

The most beautiful American legend, in front of the red and white stripes. Hugged by her famous trademark, her white fox fur stole, which sold in 11/2003 at Christie's NYC as Lot 1. for $17,925 and is now part of The Mark Bellinghaus collection.
Please click on this link, and when you are at the site, you want to click in the middle on search. Simply type in the words: Marilyn Monroe Queen Mary and click. You should be getting the option to view two important interviews who will let you make decission what or whom to believe.
Here is a link to the podcast that talks about the crime on the Queen Mary:
Melinda Mason's "My Marilyn" Thank you Melinda!

The masters of LAW SUITS, just like other people seem to have a hobby, Strasberg & Roesler seem to enjoy the recreational effect of law suits. I am also fascinated how Anna Strasberg got away with steeling away items, she did swear in court and under oath that she would never ever sell them in her entire life--but 11 years later they were on the auction block. That is provable as easy as 1- 2- 3.

Oh wow--could this maybe be the place where June DiMaggio found the tennis racket and the hair curlers, the many many items she can not "remember" now where they were coming from?

The item that started at all! A 1974 Clairol Hairsetter, that was shown and presented, successfully in Roesler's/Otto's first joint venture, in winter of 2004/05. Roesler would later give money (proceeds) from the fraudulent exhibition to a hospital in Indianapolis and put a huge plaque on the walls of that room. In honor of his tragically killed by a drunk driver, sister. And his own, honor that is, as he put his name in full on that plaque as well. Almost the same that Anna Strasberg did with Paula Strasbergs grave(you can read that story in the famous Vanity Fair article that was printed many years ago on and about the Strasbergs).
Here is the link to the story and how I found out about this shocker! Strange, as I was about to connect the link, I noticed that it has been "pulled" by THE NOBLESVILLE LEDGER.COM well, maybe you want to contact them directly? I have a printed version of their article.
Sunday's Letters
Long Beach Press-Telegram - Long Beach,CA,USA
Oh, poor Mr. Otto feels threatened by me. How about all the many many thousands you have screwed, Mr. Otto?
How do you think they feel, after reading about this scandal, after seeing this in the news?
And please do not be so obvious with your attempt to even publish this dreadful book of yours, June DiMaggio and Mary Jane Popp. You may have fooled a lot of Playboy readers as they really are interested in something else, opening that magazine than your BS including the pizza pan retrieval, told by Junie star, or your co-work on that piece of crap try to portray anything about Marilyn Monroe!
Let's simply face it: Your buddy Mark Roesler, yes, I witnessed you both together in 1999 at the famous Christie's auction, so your friend just made a really bad choice and now the shit will hit the fan.
You can not find an excuse after another. Doesn't work that way. As a Marilyn fan, a young girl wrote me recently:
The truth will always come to light!
Here is another email that I received from a very upset and paying young "believer" in your crap, Mr. Otto! I hope this email makes you really proud!
For a lot more links in this interesting, fascinating yet so super sad case, please go to our first or second blog and feel free to post a note, whatever you want to say is cool.
After all we are Thank God, still are living in a free country!

Marilyn-Laskshmi by Mark Bellinghaus, 2000
Mmmhhhh who could be those puppeteers? And is it really just a game? Are there two Mark's in this game? One is evil, the other is not? Can we also imagine that famous audition, no--not MM's but the audition that brought Anna all the fame and fortune--the one she held in her underwear?
Read that telling Wall Street article about the past of Anna Strasberg, and how she secured her multi million fortune: with a simple "audition" where she must have given all she had. Classic. Just like June Di Maggio wants to make Marilyn Monroe look like...!
CLICK THIS LINK TO READ THE VERY TELLING WALL STREET INTERVIEW ABOUT ONE OF THE TWO PUPPETEERS!
Oh look he is holding a fresher version of that Lady(Pop music),the one in red, who supports the book idea of that old woman who forgot where those curlers were coming from. She can not remember that? But she wants us to believe that she remembers the hours of August 4th and 5th 1962, nearly 44 years ago? Get out of here.




Oops, but look, here comes "Bob" and "Junie"! Ready to tell the world their so wonderfully and to extend rehearsed lines. Who cares about their lies and their excuses, their changing the stories like Howard Hughes his underwear or sock. They all act as if they would even believe their obvious BS themself. After the many years of training, it must have really become organic to them. For how much longer do they think they can insult our knowledge and our intelligence?
You gotta watch the Mark Roesler web cam fiaskos, seem like his office is haunted, or better cursed? By some clients spirits and ghosts...boo! Better call James van Praagh for assistance--but wait his hourly fees must be outrageous, oh who cares, he ows us one, since we put him into that ET show in December'05 where he was authenticating all the thrift store trash, as if he know that it was Marilyn Monroe's items! He is a Gerbil let lose and now that rodent is biting anything that smells like food--even trash! He puts up an insanity grin like Otto-clown and they just pretend to smile the world into shit is the new motto! Oh wow--again, I created a new slogan: ready?
The "Otto-motto" : Grin like a retard, and lie like Pinoccio, "people like to see and believe those kind of things!" as Otto truely believes he can fool the world forever.
No problemo! Anna got the pool full of it. She will support it, cause in 12 years from now--when the waves are flat--the screamers have stopped--we will have another Christie's auction, and then Otto & Roesler are going to be the stars, and Anna is having (if still alive at 78) another glass or three of champagne.
Enough of all the fun!
People! Can't you see what is going on here?
As much as Mark A. Roesler feels for his in a car accident, by a drunk driver murdered sister, as much I feel, as deep I feel for Marilyn Monroe.

She lays right in this hurst, leaving her beloved home, for the very last time. Dead, at the young age of only 36, half the age of June DiMaggio, and almost Anna Strasberg. Half as many years as they have eaten, screamed, laughed, cried(if at all) dreamed and always woken up the next morning. Marilyn did not.
What was going on, after her body was taken out of her "nest" and her personal items, her belongings were put into a time capsule, and 37 years later sold to the wolves, including myself. Who bid and bought from that Strasberg monster. I gave this greedy Anna Strasberg all my savings, all my money.
Look at the hurst and imagine her in there, I just can not.I do not want to, but this is reality, like the fraud on the Queen Mary and before that, in Indianapolis is reality!

August 5th, 1962 The landlady of this home is gone and will not retrun, to play with her little Maltese "Maf". Some toys her dogs are laying on the grass without any purpose; one would be picked up, put in storage and be sold off 37 years later as Lot # 469. for $11,500
There's no business like Anna's business. Mark Roesler's too, of course. He also failed to urge Strasberg to hold on to the items. He has been working for her since '95 now and he could have forseen that the items would bring million after million, if--well yes, if they had saved them and kept them together!
But to create, to re-create a simular collection, looking just sort of like the original, is impossible and absolutely disgusting to watch.Otto is an eBay buyer with the name "pinkdoodledandy1" Go to his me-page an read it for yourself.
The sadness of the photo above is impossible to put in words. At least in my eyes.
Strasberg could have preserved all item. But she left it rotten between ice and water damaged cheap storage places; no temperature control, no nothing. Until the moment her step daughter died and nine month later they were hammered off, spread around the world.
Anna Strasberg failed to keep the memories of our most beloved legend. The tragic angel that died shockingly early.

All of you. Look at the coffin. This is Marilyn Monroe's coffin. That also is reality. The young man on the corner of it, is Allan Abbott. The only surviving pallbearer. Sorry, June DiMaggio. Not all of them are dead, and he is our witness that June DiMaggio was not at the funeral as she lied in the Playboy magazine her heart out, if she had one. Look into the second row of the mourners and guests, can you see an empty chair next to Joe DiMaggio and his son Joe JR.? I do not.
But Marilyn is laying in this coffin, when she had so many plans, so much to live for. It is important that we keep her memory in respect and honor, that we do not misportray her, let not misportray her by clowns like this man from Chicago who thinks he has the answers in his "vault". Well, he failed to open it up on time and he had "one shot only" as now we know that we can never trust this charlatan again.
When I look at her coffin, I instantly remember Roslyn. The scene from "The Misfits", when "Roslyn Taber" (Marilyn's part), is running out into the desert and she is screaming out her pain, her frustration and her anger, her sadness and everything what this woman bothers. I do not accept her to be dead. I do not want her to be dead. But people tell me all the time that she is. Is she really?
I may be charged with whatever they can try against me, Anna is a suing and court professional. She knows where and when to cry and promise the judge things that she then later will not keep. They may try me and go after me, shall I act all scared of the former roofer who now is going after dead celebrities money.
And I can not sit there and let them make her look like a joke, when that was Marilyn's life long fear.
I believe in justice and I still believe that good wins over evil. When I look at my dogs, that I named Marilyn and Monroe, I was literally shocked about their expressions, after I viewed that photo on my computer.
'They seem to feel that there is something to be sad about, they seem to feel the pain that is behind that closed crypt. Their faces, their gesture, is what I was missing, by all of them involved, and on stage on November 10th, 2005, on the Queen Mary.

My precious' "Marilyn" & "Monroe" visiting Marilyn Monroe, the day before Miss Monroe's birthday, May 31st, 2005
Please help us and support this fight against these criminals who are backing up each other and very obvious.
I feel absolutely fooled by this entire team of story tellers and criminals. We are able to prove all of our accusations against this "team", any given moment.

Saint Marilyn art by Margaret Barrett, 12/25, 2003
FACTS, PROOF AND SCANDALS, PULLED HIGHLIGHTS AND MADE UP STORIES! THE MARILYN MONROE-SODOM & GOMORRAH IS HERE!
Once there was this powerful lawyer, who had everything the usual and ordinary person would not even dream to ever have in his life; a silver Ferrari, with a licence plate that fullfilled that man's lifelong dream to be: a rebel. James Dean. But instead he was forced to go to court, to sue people and make their short lifes even more miserable. He had success, and little failures. But then, one day he went too far in his request for power.
Once there was a "collector" who claimed to have been collecting for the Princess of the movie screen, for over 30 (some other sorces say even 37) years. I would really like to tell you more about this man, but since nobody really knows him, we can not say much. Except that he is smiling way too often, has excuses and explanations, for his f**k-ups way way way too often.
To be continued...
Let's start with the fabulous program for this amazing show and exhibit:
THE PRESS FOLDER THAT WAS GIVEN OUT WITH A BIG SMILE!

THE MARILYN MONROE-THE EXHIBIT BROCHURE

About the collector, that section reads the truth, when it states: imaginable
VIP experience: Oh wow, isn't it wonderful to be presented as a so called "VIP" when you really have no clue at all? So they had 24 times people paying $250 for what? Otto explaining how he chased that Marilyn-troll for 6 years and finally succeeded? Shame on all of them for this rip-off!
THE INSIDE! BE STUNNED AMAZED AND ABSOLUTELY IN SHOCK! (BECAUSE THE "HOT ROLLERS" ARE MENTIONED AND MANY OTHER MISTAKES!

1.Intimate Marilyn Browse among an amazing high number of FAKES! Personal items of whom? June DiMaggio? Oh, rename that damn exhibit then, call it "the singing DiMaggio on tour!" UNDERGARMENTS! THANK GOD THOSE ARE NOT EVEN MARILYN'S! As a reporter just mentioned that there are brand new underpants with black marker written MM. Disgusting. Oh and where are those HOT ROLLERS now? Is that's why Robert W. Otto cried like a spoiled brat in the Long Beach Press Telegram? Could it be, that he has to admit at some point that my blog really burned his lies into jokes? He is the biggest of them all: JOKE THAT IS, something Marilyn Monroe was afraid to be looked at/portrayed as--a freaking J-O-K-E. For the few who have not seen the HOT ROLLERS, I was at the PRESS OPENING and was able to save you a shot(stroll back up)of the 1974 Clairol Hairsetter (with-WOW-hair-of-MM-attached-to!) HOW COULD THAT BE, WHEN MARILYN DIED IN 1962? Ask Mr. OTTO, he has an answer for EVERYTHING! And those shoes(one of the three in three different sizes) and those hand mirrors are really one insult after another on Marilyn Monroe. Aweful, ridiculous and totally painful. Can't anybody tell Otto that he should have done some more auction shopping instead eBay blind buys of junk.


FAKES A LA CART! What is on the menue today? FALSE EYELASHES? They might be just that: F-A-L-S-E!
The HOT ROLLERS were too hot--they have been taken OFF THE MENUE already...! Curling Iron? From where? Stork Club Lipstick? P--lease! who can confirm that story? Joe Franklin, June DiMaggio or maybe even OTTO HIMSELF? Why did he not buy those lipsticks from Julien's, they went only for $9,000! And the eyelashes for $3,120! Why? Cause Otto is an eBay addict and he can get everything for almost nothing at all, that's why. But he takes it even from the dead--literally speaking!
2.Glamorous Marilyn I agree with the first statement--cause I was knocked off my feet by the presentation of brand new clothing, mixed with second hand crap and thrift store finds by a woman who still not knows for sure if the rollers belonged to MM or her mom. What is the difference anyways? Right? The difference is, that June is older than Marilyn, that she never was a successful actress and now wants to shine through a dead legend she never ever even met in person! Yes--please pay special attention to that fur coat MD-LIE! As it originates from June's mystic box of wanna be" MM pieces". BS! Given to her....blah blah blah, says WHO? June DiMaggio? HA! Marilyn Di Maggio? another Otto-boo-boo! Every half way interested, civilized MM admirer or fan would know, that was on her USO card, which Otto even displays as a cheap PHOTOCOPY, it was Norma Jeane Di Maggio! HA! We got you, Otto with your own absurd and ridiculous lies! You are so busted!!!


A "knock-out"? no! But definetely a KNOCK-OFF! of MM's real items. The sign reads: "Long red pleaded chiffon gown designed by Travilla". Oh really? Chiffon? Interesting, as it looked, I could swear just like a 80% plasic mix from the 80's maybe even 90's! This one is gone as well, pulled off the show, as it was also discribed in my first blog, wanna check? Click on the link and watch it. http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/02/06/132111.php
That is exactly why Otto fels threatened by me. Cause I am not as stupid as he thinks that everyone is. It always helps to hire some armed guards, and place them around everywhere--as then the people think oh my, that must be worth something. But they do not know that the whole clutter is not worth more than $25 - $30K MAX! The car you drive is probably worth much more than this entire ripping off everyone exhibit. The right photo: MM might have had some slight weight problems due to her depression, but she never was obese! Insult in silver/grey, fabric is screaming Disco all over. Marilyn Monroe's? Impossible!
3.Marilyn Doll Collection Here comes another piece that is really worth to be ashamed of. To charge any person on this earth money for the view of that, is beyong believe and understanding. I mean, carton cut-outs, which you can buy on Hollywood Boulevard for $15.99? Who is next? When are we having the tacky James Dean exhibit--possibly on the same ocean liner, since anthing seems to "go" these days, as long as Hugh Hefner appears, and that is favor between friends, since Mark Roesler is also "Hef's" lawyer, that goes without saying. Who else Roesler represents? Joe DiMaggio (of course). That's why June DiMaggio comes so handy!
Another big lie is: Otto has every known doll! BS--the BEST ones are not in that dreadful room of Kitsch. The Kim Goodwin dolls are really exceptional. Kim Goodwin displayed those in 2001, when we (different collectors and fans from Los Angeles) put our own homage for Monroe together.
Here is a link to his wonderful and so life like creation. Kim is a true artist, check out his work:
I displayed several wonderful items, including clothing and furniture and displayed it at the Hollywood Entertainment Museum. And: for no charge!
I displayed many items to the public, items that I was still paying off at the time, but it made me happy to see kids looking with big eyes at Marilyn Monroe's welcome bench or the beautiful painting on top of it, her CHAC MOOL wall hanging or the hooded bathing robe that she wore on these wonderful images, taken by George Barris.
Those kids will grow up and hopefully remember some of the beutiful items that we displayed, all of us--but if they go to the Queen Mary and see Marilyn's dreadful and fake white underpants--what will these kids think of the legend and more important how will they remember marilyn, if this Otto criminal is displaying her absolutely fatal and sickening.
But what Otto has mingled into that crowded room of distaste and uglyness is beyong believe and reality! Scary too, as the Marilyn troll, that is sprinkled with glitter as well, as it would make it better, and who cares about that it really is one in 500! Bad enough that they made so many of that piece of shit that looks more like Otto himself in drag, than MM!
There are still 499 others! Got it? People want to see unique items, like Faberge eggs and golden sarcophargus, maybe the Happy Birthday dress, but where is that in this claimed "$10 MILLION collection"?! I smell scam, and fraud and a huge crime, too!
Look at that photo--it also is displaying Roesler's favorite MM-card board fold out and stand up MM's! They are mostly life size and take a lot of space in this tiny room full of distaste and insult on the paying visitor!
Maybe we should add at this point that those stand ups are available on Hollywood Boulevard for $15.99 each!
So--where are the major objects in this phony exhibit? The first mentioned--even in the LA Times mentioned by Otto himself $10million exhibit--later after many month by the partner in crime Mark A. Roesler--also in the LA Times announced $8.75million!
I really wonder how the famous sponsors are going to think about this and how they will clean their own name--from the fraud they automatically have committed on the public --by failing to make sure that they were supporting the real deal and not what it turned out to be: The biggest scam and criminal fraud, a dispicable action against the public, and in the history of Marilyn Monroe!


4.Marilyn at the Movies If Otto would have watched more of those, her movies and also the documentaries about the star, he would not have such a tremendous lack of knowledge. He is really creating his own Monroe world and Roesler backs up his claims.
5.The Legacy of Marilyn Monroe Funny--but this is exactly what I am trying to SAVE! The Legacy of Marilyn Monroe. But on that ship they seem to kick it with every foot that is willing and able to kick Marilyn right in her stomach. Impossible to watch or understand these people. Money makes the world go round. Does it really? I created my website without even looking at this brochure. They also claim: Marilyn continues to live on with us always. I have bad news for you, Sir--not the way you portray and insult her. She was never there, will never ever will be there. I think you captured a Mansfield-esque persona that is wearing the worst shoes any living human could ever have bought, but it surely wasn't Ms. Monroe. No Sir, never!


As discribed in part 5 of the illustrious brochure, here is what you really are going to see: the wine and the plates that are a dead weight for any eBay seller, as nobody wants them once they were used, but wait, the book the furniture, MM's books and mabye a commode? Sorry, wrong number here again. Those are Mr. Otto's personal Marilyn Monroe books which he obviously never read. The piece of furniture is owned by the Queen Mary and the brand new Marilyn Monroe hand bag is a PR-trick from the CMG and the Estate of Marilyn Monroe, who use Otto as the bait for the still interested Monroe fan or wanting to be admirer who might buy a memento to take home from that depressing show. If you tell me where we can find the $10million (or $8.75million by Mark Roesler) items, I will hand you over my entire collection!
6.Norma Jean This just felt weired to even write it like that, as any student, of Monroe, Marilyn that is, will learn the difference between Norma Jean and Norma Jeane! If you email me Mr. Otto, I will send you some papers which pove that her own mom used the Norma Jeane with an "e" at the end! So I have no idea how these people can make all these obviously wrong claims when they do not even know how to spell the full name of the object they want to screw the world with! SHAMEFUL AND WRONG. We will hear some lame excuse from Mr. Otto about this one, I am absolutely sure. He simply can not admit that he screwed up, big big, huge time. Irreparable big.
NORMA JEANE -- got it?
7.Marilyn's Gifts Those gifts, like the FAKE Frank Sinatra gift, all those FAKE Joe Dimaggio gifts are simply not provable since most of the junk comes from June DiMaggio's attic or her filthy basement. Well, let's give also her neighbors garage sale a shot.


Crap times TWO! That "thing" on the left was given to MM by Ol blue eyes, says June--the wristband on this watch from June's personal treasure (possibly given to the failed singer and actress by one of her one night stands since she seems to have had so many more "orgassms" than Monroe <<accordingly to her stupid excerpt in the Playboy magazine!>>), is made of plastic and brand new! Nowhere I could find a photo of MM wearing this watch. And I spend many hours for my search, looked at thousands and thousands of images of Ms. Monroe and Norma Jeane as well! Not one "gift" that is supposed MM's, is REAL in this show all BS!
8.Marilyn & Joe Last but not least, Marilyn & Joe! Of course, since we have an almost real DiMaggio, but so far we know that June is only a step-Dimaggio; no blood relation that is! The romance and bla bla bla, I hear the violine and I see old Hollywood movies and their heart warming endings. Not so for Marilyn and Joe! It ended in: Joseph Paul DiMaggio VS. Norma Jeane DiMaggio! That was the real ending of that romance. And if people still believe into the heart warming June idea of remarriage, let me tell you that Marilyn was enjoying herself. But with other men.


The end of the Di Maggio liason, and a "note" that is mentioned under 8. this is 100% NOT Marilyn's hand!

I could not help myself, but I had to name this shot "THE LAST SUPPER WITHOUT JESUS" as all of them seem to be in a contest who would be able to personify the best possible Judas. Each of them has their own qualification to hold that title and maybe we should accompany their names--all of them, and forever with the title: biggest trader, back-stabber and liar--of and about Marilyn Monroe.

A PRESS RELEASE THAT WAS JUST ONE OF MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS (with some personal notes to it)

Another one: so if the 48 HOURS filming took place, and it did, why was June Di Maggio and Mary Jane Popp not present as promised to us so many times; on my first blog in many comments they left and tried to annoy us with! Power of blog, or word of mouth?
June Di Maggio got the boots because the producers must have hears of our investigation. Sorry Mary Jane and June. Maybe in another life?

Here is a VIP RIPP-OFF FUN EXPERIENCE! WONDER HOW MANY WERE PRANKED!

BESIDES "BUGS BUNNY"- OTTO, THERE WAS ALSO THE MOST FAMOUS BUNNY: "HEF"


ANOTHER "LEAD" IN THIS QUARTET IS WAY IN THE BACKGROUND, BUT YET SHE IS "IN" WITH ALL OF THEM! MARY JANE POPP, OR AS I CALL HER "SCARY MARY- FROM THE QUEEN MARY" June Di Maggio's CHAPERON!

"And once you experience MARY JANE POPP, you won't soon forget her. GUARANTEED!" (and I thought my English was bad...doesn't it almost sound like a threat?!) I wasn't really sure if I was on the right ship when I walked into the press area, as those headshots were on every table, begging to be picked up, what I did, after fighting with my inner self. It really reminded me of an audition, which I went to a lot in my fromer acting life. But wasn't I here to see and to read things about Marilyn Monroe? All I saw was Mary Jane Popp; on each and every table. I was shocked even more, when I saw huge and wonderful images on display, and these images were depicting Marilyn Monroe's furniture, the very furniture that I am living with, eating off each day, and these prints were in oversize prints and I grabbed Robert W. Welkos who was with us, and who saw most of that furniture now on that Queen Mary ship, displayed on photos. I was simply speechless. But I kept quiet. Welkos smiled and shook his head in disbelieve. I walked into the press openig on the Queen Mary, to see the only real items on many photos, and those items are in my own collection--a very surreal moment. "I can tell you that right now", as June Di Maggio would say right here and now.
Walking through the exhibit almost cause me to have a heart attack. It was sickening to see this trash on display. This tasteless arrangement of Kitsch and those pieces that you simply could feel and tell without knowing anything at tall about collecting--that they were simply way too new to have been worn or owned by Marilyn Monroe.
It certainly was a "Marilyn Monroe wigstock" for the straight/mixed crowd, as MM still is gay-icon number one, as much as that might annoy Barbra (Streisand) or Madonna!
But the way Mary Jane, June, Bob and whoever else wore their wigs was just too much. Mark Roesler has a "credit", as he owns Marilyn Monroe's Misfit wig. Wonder why he did not wear it? He seemed to sweat an aweful lot already. But it wasn't warm in that ship at all. We ordinary reporters were actually freezing.
HERE IS A DISCRIPTION THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE BET BY ANOTHER SO CALLED MASTERPIECE! A MASTERPIECE OF LIES. JAMES FREY WAS DAMN CLOSE, BUT JUNE HAS WORKED ON THIS ONE FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS OF HER SO LIFE, POPP & OTTO DID TOO!



While Mary Jane Popp and June Di Maggio shared their tales, I tried to capture their essences. This time not with my camera.
At this point I would like to share an email I received a few weeks ago, I have received thousands of emails, ever since I started this attack on the worst fraud in the history of Marilyn Monroe, but this email really shines a special light into this business that they are promoting so high and strong, as if the items were actually authentic. But they are not.
You also need to see that for any young person of limited funds, or for any older person, who has to get along with some sort of amount he/she has to deal with, a tight budget, due to their spare lifes, $22.95 is a lot of money! It really makes me sick just remembering this disgusting monster sitting there on stage--actually all of them and sticking up their noses in each other's anus.
It makes me sick that Hugh Hefner would sit there and talk about his BS and bring his entourage of blond bimbos who looked like transvestites to some reporter friends of mine. He came with his fu**ing reality show and it was a mess, a madhouse and absurd to watch this without thinking, poor Marilyn, what are they doing to you?
Marilyn was actually not a toppic at all! Everybody talked about their BS. But to aske for one minute of silence and in memory of the great icon and legend, as we thought to see them celebrating here? No Sir, not here, there and anywhere.
It was a media spectacle par excellence and now they all keep shut and possibly feel bad ever even attending that hoax.
I am really mad at these f**kers--for insulting our intelligence and thinking that we would believe that Marilyn indeed had no taste. I invite you to strollthough my collection on the ABOUT MARK section, I just put this up a few days ago to show Otto what he has to come forward with his eBay junk now and he will not be able to do that.
How can he take advantage of so many people who dearly love Marilyn Monroe and who can not afford to pay to high to take a memory at least home.
The minimum wage is still around $5.50 and if you think about, that people have to stand or sit and work hard for an admission fee of $22.95 most likely working for FOUR HOURS to go and see a show that is so absolutely beyond believe terrible and aweful, and FRAUDULENT to possibly over 98.9% fake Marilyn Monroe items.
But read this email and built your own opinion about all of them.
Having been a Marilyn fan for about 12 years (and I'm only 23 years
old to begin with), I just visited the Queen Mary exhibit this afternoon. I
left feeling severely disappointed in the rushed 30 minute guided tour.
Although there were a few interesting pieces (that I believed at the time
were authentic), the majority of the exhibit was filled with cheap tacky
representations of Marilyn.....plates, dolls, wine bottles. Luckily, I
bought the package deal ticket that also allowed me admittance to the
Titanic exhibit, which was amazing and unlike the Marilyn exhibit, done in
very good taste. Honestly, if I had spent $23 on the Marilyn exhibit alone,
I would have felt robbed.
I visited the Christie's auction preview in Beverly Hills in 1999 and,
as you mention on your site, I really felt the aura and energy of Marilyn in
the room while viewing the items. It was an amazing and indescribable
feeling. The same can not be said for the Queen Mary exhibit. When the
tour was over, I don't know how else to describe my feelings other than
something about the exhibit just didn't feel right.
I don't really personally know any big Marilyn fans myself, so when I
got home today, I googled the exhibit, hoping to find the opinions of other
fans regarding this tour. I really just wanted to see if anyone else
thought it was as bad as I did. Luckily, I quickly found your site. All I
can really say is that I am shocked. And the fact that most of these items
are fake now seems so obvious to me. The tennis raquet puzzled me, the
blonde wig did indeed look too new, as did many of the clothing items. And
the fact that so many people will spend their money to see this junk is
completely unsettling. My tour guide actually went out of her way to point
out that ridiculous Marilyn troll, letting us all know how rare it was and
that it took Otto 6 years to track one down once he found out it existed. A
lot of time was also spent on the Marilyn wine. Christie's it is not.
It may be worth it to note that the mannequin at the entrance to the
exhibit (pictured on your site wearing the "authentic" pink dress from
"Gentleman Prefer Blondes") is now wearing a brown fur coat with no
description of where it came from. The hair rollers were not on display at
all. As mentioned on your site, these were always heralded as one of the
biggest draws when the collection first went on display. I also do not
recall seeing the white cat eye sunglasses pictured on the site. Have these
items been removed as a result of your work into investigating the true
authenticity of these items? I hope so.
Thank you for working so hard to keep the memory of Marilyn alive. I
will continue to check your site for updates. I plan on passing the word
along to as many people as I can. --S
What do you think about that? Isn't it aweful how they screw young and old, rich and poor and anbody in between for their money and time. It really makes me sick.
This just in-- my first blog is mentioned and actually linked to the wonderful, the very supportive in my case from the beginning, the one and only "MR. SKEPTIC" MICHAEL SHERMAN.
I truely realize what an honor it is to be present in his publication. Thank you so much and as a former believer in Jeannie Carmen's dreadful stories, the John Miner-BS, and all these weired and on speculation built rubbish-stories surrounding Marilyn Monroe, I see myself as a healed believer in the unexplained.
Does that mean that I do not believe in a higher power, that also may be called GOD? Not at all, but James van Praagh is in my eyes, and I can prove that easily and any given moment, an aweful and very obvious LIAR & CHARLATAN!
Here is the link to the great site who really get's you down with your feet on the ground--you will see those shows "Medium" an the van Praagh produced "Ghost Whisperer" with just the knowledge that it is an act and that some GERBIL-LIKE FREAK is getting rich of people's believe that he can talk to their beloved ones. He did such an aweful show--he should support me in my attack against Otto, as he really must have thought the clutter he was holding up was real. Gotcha! Enough of urban legends like Bloody Mary, June Di Maggio or Jeannie Carmen.
See, I just said it three times, and even in front of Marilyn Monroe's owned mirror: "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary!"
And she did not appear and kill me! Like that urban legend is warning you about! But maybe I will be luckier if I'd tried instead: "Bloody Queen Mary, Bloody Queen Mary, Bloody Queen Mary!"
No? Oh I am sorry, so soory, but obviously some "higher power" wants me to make the "Quintet of MM-SHAME" and their lifes miserable! That is now offically proven, too! I am a threat, Otto is correct-- a threat to their LIES and their try TO CRAWL AWAY WITH. To screw more people.
Click on the link to read the article:

In this week’s eSkeptic, we reprint part of Mark Bellinghaus’ skeptical critique of the Marilyn Monroe Exhibit (including a brief debunking of the psychic James Van Praagh) that opened in Long Beach, California in November 2005.
What else was fed to the press:

OMG! This time the image is not printed as mirror image like on the admission ticket. Lucky accident?

Let me tell you a little story about Mr. Felton Hyche and the media opening. This Gentleman had the guts to jell through his microphone at the audience twice, and talk to the crowd and guests as if they were little dumb and unbehaved school kids! We arrived late for this event, due to the heavy LA traffic and we did not drink excessively free Norma Jeane Merlot that seemed to have put a very freeing effect on the people who came there to witness Mr. Hefner flocking in with his life camera team and spotlight on him and his bunnies of all sorts of ages hights. mostly bleached blondes. Mr. Hyche tried to get "respect" for "Hef" and his presence and asked people officially to "get lost" if they could not behave. People still gave a crap and then Hyche really reminded us of those speeches of some fierce politicians who had to show their totality of believed power in form of an ugly and scary manner.
We did not like that guy at all, none of our group did. Another faux pas right in the beginning.
If you feel victemized by this corporation and you feel that they have gone too far, please call this man, as he also always seems to have an explanation handy!
The Queen Mary is backing up Otto's crap, in my opinion, as otherswise they would have initiated an independent appraisal of that crap, like the hightlight, the now pulled "hot rollers"! Did they get hot or what?!
Now I show you why this pack of wolves is sticking together like positive and negative charged super magnets:
Mr. Hyche is most likely correct when he states like Nostradamos would have done it--that 50,000 people will attend. So that brings the total to: 50,000 people X $22.95 = $1,147,500.00,- That is almost as much as the famous "Happy Birthday" dress sold for in October of 1999.
If the show wasn't a success, they would not have extended twice!
Remember that Otto had those VIP dinners where he had to eat and eat and eat and got paid high for it on top of that round head of his. 24 of them! And they ripped the people off with $250 per person. Please can somebody send Otto an invitation to participate in the NBC hit show "THE BIGGEST LOSER--FRAUD EDITION" Maybe he can make some well deserved and honest money.
I mean I took those scary photos of him before those VIP dinners. You are what you eat Mr. Otto, but since when do they serve "EVIL a la cart?"
As much as that man has no neck, the spine of many reporters is also missing in this mega-fraud on the run around this globe. Are they still afraid to report and warn their readers of these gangsters who have no mercy in the name of "ONE President Jackson and THREE times President Washington" that is how much $22.95 is, without the gas money of course.
Once they will make it to foreign countries, the name of this very , our own country, The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, will be in jeopardy, as you can bet that this crime will come out.
It is our most important challenge to bring them all to justice.
That joker states at the end: "I look forward to your participation."
With other words: GIVE US YOUR MONEY!
Here is a link with a very telling statement of that man:
Mary Frances Gurton from the Los Angeles Independent reports
This wonderful reporter also deserves our deepest THANKS and appreciation. As she saw early on into this case that there was something in the findings we made. She wrote another follow up recently--a second cover story and also this time again: the "Monroe historian" could not be reached for comments!
Thank you so much for your great support in this, Mary Fances Gurton!
The follow up from Mary Frances Gurton

What is here to add? Too bad Marilyn is "owned" by Strasberg & Roesler!

No, you did not switch by accident to the Cartoon Network and this is not Bugs Bunny in a suit, wearing toupee, glasses and his ears cut off! Would Mr. Otto feel threatened if I may add to his impressive titles: eBay-addict, couch-potatoe, fast-food gourmet and scam-artist with common excuses, and last but not least, a proven liar.
Rembember this is a free country--thank goodness, still. And if you ask the innocent and poor victems that this face has taken advantage of, you really wanna hit your screen! How can anybody who is full of so much shit--have such a grin without messing up his shirt and tie?

Doesn't this one subconciously remind you of those posted signs in your neighborhood, those big cardboards in flashy colors and over sized letters, that try to attract you to come and see the latest GARAGE SALE?
Repeated and free Monroe-History lesson for Mr. Bucks Bunny himself. From Collector to wanna be: Norma Jeane (with an "e" that is!) Cause how can you talk about a star and make up all these fancy stories, if you really have no clue how to correctly spell her name Mr."OTT --O"!
Can you believe that they even mention a "Plate Collection" that is dead weight on eBay? Nobody want's it--nobody buys it and Otto displays it! Brilliant.

Now this is too much! Even for my fraud trained eyes. The left picture shows that made up mirror from that June Di -Where did I find the MM pieces-Maggio. She claims that Marilyn would carry around that ugly hand mirror with June's painting on it and also that stupid Bulova watch, the story comes also handy as then they can explain why there are no photos of Marilyn wearing that watch or holding that excuse for a mirror. How many so called personal glasses of Ms. Monroe does this prankster claim to own and are spread out on that table? Did he get a Lot on eBay that contained 15 of them? Breathe....the right side shows one of the only exceptions in this nightmare exhibit. But: The vintage magazines are mostly with mailing labels attached to them, which makes them a cheap eBay find and the way they are displayed is beyond believe and understanding. I call it the "Monroe wall paper" as none of them are individually framed. Sad.

"These mother of BS opera glasses, bla bla bla! Marilyn was slightly nearsighted but she wasn't blind! Please read what I found on these on my blog http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/14/195630.php and compare these with the REAL opera glasses of MM. But Otto did not buy them either.

CRIME ALERT! When I saw this page in the shameful press map, I knew that they are not going to make it. Because simply for the fact that a pair of real and authentic, worn by Marilyn Monroe and shown on photos wearing them, would be worth as much as $39,100! Otto witnessed the sale of the most expensive earrings in '99. But here again: HE DID NOT BUY THOSE EITHER! He must prove to us where those are originating from. And we know the fake sellers on eBay. And just claiming this and that and wrapping it in a "glamor-story" is not enough to stand in court on. Sorry. Ask buddy Mark Roesler--he can explain that. And he gives himself away by claiming that there are many of these! When everybody knows that there simply aren't! You are so busted.
Real and authentic rhinestone earrings of Marilyn Monroe. They sold as Lot 36. at the Christie's sale 11/99 for $39,100! And you won't find them on that historic ocean liner, the Queen Mary.

I am sorry, but says WHO? June Di Maggio, or Otto, Mr. Franklin or all three of them? HA! This one is one of the sadest lies, as it is just too obvious to nail them down on that fact, that they have no proof rather than a limping, a paralized story. Give the authenticity and I will give you a research and demonstration on it, that all of you will remember until you leave this world, that you were about to screw, country by country, city by city, and you will pass that on to your kids or your surviving pets.
People! Do not be so naive and believe just because Marilyn and Joe were at the famous Stork Club and had some dinners, that this fact is proof enough, that this lipstick was Marilyn's. At all. Marilyn had her personal line of cosmetics and that is another reason why this piece in my opinions, pardon me: STINKS!

Real Lipstick of Marilyn Monroe. At least if we can believe what Julien's auction had to offer in this particular Lot 263. which sold for $9,000 in 06/05. Eight lipsticks to the right, identical casing and none of them a "Stork Club lipstick". This Lot went to Great Britain, but not to Robert W. Otto. Nice try though. Cool story, isn't it?

The second word really gives away where this piece of s**t belongs--into the toilet. This is another attempt of this criminal to make up items that are ridiculous and absolutely unlike Marilyn Monroe. I have collected for too many years to not know that this piece was maybe Ms. Mansfield, but never Ms. Monroe's! This piece was viewed at the famous Hollywood Museum and it was one of the many reasons why the entire Otto collection was rejected and sent back home to it's ludicrous collector in Chicago.

A real travel bag, owned by Ms. Monroe--if we can believe the Estate of Marilyn Monroe, Anna Strasberg, who owned it previously. The interesting fact is, that this piece has the monogrammed letters"JRW" written near the handle. That alone was a reason for me to believe that it is real. As Ms. Monroe was very private and often disguised her own idendity to not be chased by people. This bag sold at Julien's auction 06/05 as Lot. 269 for $2,640. It now is now also part of the Mark Bellinghaus collection.

Another fake. Another made up story. Another crime. It is just obvious that this must be the idea of people who had no way of poving that this watch that is so absolutely unlike MM's and for which not one single photo is in existence to prove that it was owned by Marilyn Monroe. My bet, another June Di Maggio "find".

Two Marilyn Monroe owned wristwatches. Sold at Christie's Beverly Hills, 11/01, Lot 101. sold for $4,113, and Lot 102 sold for $2,820. Robert W. Otto participated in this very auction and ended up with Lot 139. (two plastic tissue box holders), which sold for $823. Instead buying all these tacky dolls, he could have bought some real watches or some other real MM owned items.

Spectacular lie! If that "thing" was real and not delievered by June Di Maggio, you certainly could look at one of the reasons why MM and Joe Di Maggio divorced! Outrageous to come up with a tale like this one, when nobody has ever heard such a story. And that is where June Di Maggio would step in. How would she own such a piece, when she can not remember from where another so called "highlight" of the "$10million/$8.75million exhibit" would originate, as she admitted very recently in an interview, done by Phillip Zonkel from the Long Beach Press Telegram! I was absolutely shocked,especially about the nonchalant and insensitive engraving. anybody who knows Joe Di Maggio, would agree when I say that he was a gentleman who never would have made such an insult to his own wife. Aweful try, June Di Maggio/ Otto.
THE JUNE DI MAGGIO INTERVIEW THAT BROUGHT ALL HER CLAIMS DOWN TO A JOKE!

Original! What you are looking at is Otto's and June "dream", as this is one of the very few items that was owned by Marilyn Monroe and actually has some engravings, due to the fact that it was given to her as a present and award of recognition. As Ms. Monroe would be associated with diamonds all to easily. It was a Thank you present by Sidney M Brownstein. This is a classic item for you to understand that Otto really wanted his items he would put behind glass, look simular to the original, that he saw 6 1/2 years ago at the historic auction, held by Christie's, where this remarkable piece of Marilyn Monroe history sold as Lot 317. and for the amazing amount of $23,000! An amount that is almost as high, as Otto's entire collection of dolls, wine, cheap eBay crap, photo copies, easy to purchase and cheap photo prints that he throws on the walls all over, very few and cheap real items of Marilyn Monroe, magazines, etc., that in my expertise and intensive research for many month now, will not be able to be appraised for more than $25,000 to $30,000 max! You are literally looking at the majority of Robert W. Otto's so glorified and all over the world advertised Marilyn Monroe collection, in form of a simple powder compact, that sold at a historic auction, in which Mr. Otto did not participated and did not win a single lot!
This is not a contest of who is the bigger and better collector. When I had lucrative offers to bring my own collection out to the world, I was in the mids of making arrangements to do so, I saw Otto's collection being brought outside Los Angeles and was very curious what it might be, as I did not fly to the opening during december 2004 at the Mark Roesler owned CMG building.
I was absolutely in shock and still am, as I recognized the to over 98.8% phony and fake collection of this man, woman--people who are backing up their claims for each other's convenience.
So far they did get away. But I canceled my own plans to show my own collection to the public and my Japanes producer friend was upset and very disappointed. I was hoping to show my real collection to the people, as I displayed parts of Marilyn Mornoe's real belongings at the Hollywood Entertainment museum in 2001 in honor of Ms. Monroe's 75th birthday.
I wanted to honor her 80th the same way, but I believe that I am doing her a greater honor in defending her against these people who on top of this entire huge scandal own the rights to "market" her. But it should be prosecuted the way they do this and the way they take advantage of interested and paying visitors who believe to be shown the real deal.
It is a crime to do this, to claim things that they are not and to charge a lot of money for doing so--for showing these fake memorabilia items.
I can not go on with my own collection if I do not bring this "team" to justice and show the world that Marilyn Monroe was different than they claim that she was.
We can not let this happen and I urge you to spread the word and warn you r fiends and loved ones, even your enemies not to be screwed over by an absolutely shameful attempt of a Marilyn Monroe exhibition.
LAST CALL! LAST WARNING!!!
If they won't be stopped--as you can see above, they are already trying to make it around the world with this!
Next stop is planned to be Nevada. We can not let this happening. Please help us to stop them and t bring justice in this urgent matter of the history of one of the most beautiful, but also one of the most tragic movie star that ever lived!
As I was working on this piece of information to the public--I have no idea who will read it, if at all, and if it will prove to people what I am claiming, for what I hold proof, but there was a movie on TV, on Turner Classic Movies. It happened to be The Misfits. A wonderful and underrated portray of Marilyn Monroe's acting. I took a little break and watched and was immediately caught by the other side of Marilyn's acting abilities. True, warm, sincere and honest. No dumb blonde bimbo that Otto wants us to make believe. Marilyn, who played "Roslyn" was decorating the home of "Guido", who is played by Eli Wallach. He comes home and visits the group of people that are now guests in his never finished home.
He is amazed of how Roslyn was able to turn the home into a wonderful and warm place to live. Several month later, after the movie was already released, Marilyn would buy her own first home of her life. She would fly to Mexico to buy decoration, furniture and Mexican artifacts. She would just be like Roslyn and prove to herself that she was a real person, a real Mensch.
In one of his dialogs in this last finished movie of the movie legend, "Guido" says it all. I did not watch this movie in a long time, years maybe. When I hears those words, I was taken entirely--deeply touched. I understood the meaning, finally and for the first time. I stopped the movie--thanks to my cable box, and wrote this amazing compliment he did not only make Roslyn--he said it right to Marilyn and it is true, I could not agree more with all my heart.
"Because you have the gift for life, Roslyn (Marilyn). The rest of us, we're just looking for a place to hide and watch it all go by. Here's to your life, Roslyn (Marilyn)! I hope it goes on forever."
After all these decades looking at her, not really understanding why and what for, collecting and being almost or most definetely addicted to her, I finally and all of a sudden seem to understand her, and also why I am so attracted to her. Love her.
