 * Fox rehired her on August 1 to complete "Somethings Got to Give" with a salary of $250,000, which was two and a half times the original amount.
 * Of course these events would never come to pass due to her untimely death on August 5, 1962.
 * Much has been speculated about the events surrounding her death and others involvement in it. But whatever the cause...it is highly unlikely that it was suicide. Possibly the result of a tragic accidental drug overdose...and possibly administered by someone other than Marilyn herself.
 * A saddened Joe DiMaggio made arrangements for the funeral, inviting no one from the Hollywood scene or press...but only close friends and relatives
 * For over 20 years flowers were delivered weekly to her crypt from Joe...just as he had promised Marilyn, when she told him of William Powell's pledge to the dying Jean Harlow.
