Marilyn Monroe: FBI removes many redactions in movie star’s file

The file continues up until the months before her death, and also includes several news stories and references to Norman Mailer’s biography of the actress, which focused on questions about whether Monroe was killed by the government.

For all the focus on Monroe’s closeness to suspected communists, the bureau never found any proof she was a member of the party.

“Subject’s views are very positively and concisely leftist; however, if she is being actively used by the Communist Party, it is not general knowledge among those working with the movement in Los Angeles,” a July 1962 entry in Monroe’s file states.
