Confesiones. Marilyn Monroe pasó la última noche de su vida acompañada por el jefe de la mafia Sam Giancana.
No se trata de una nueva hipótesis sobre la muerte de la actriz ni del argumento de un libro, sino de lo declarado por el peluquero de Monroe, según indica la página web del diario italiano Corriere della Sera.
George Masters trabajaba con Monroe en los años 60 y parte de lo que sabía sobre la actriz fue grabado en unas cintas, poco antes de morir en 1998. Jeff Platts, nieto de Masters, descubrió recientemente las grabaciones.
En el material, el peluquero confirma que Marilyn pasó la noche del 4 de agosto de 1962 en el lago Tahoe, en Nevada, en una casa de Frank Sinatra, junto al jefe de la mafia Sam Giancana, de quien se dice fue amante.
“La noche antes de que muriera, la última vez que la vi, estaba en el lago Tahoe en la residencia de Frank Sinatra. Estaba junto a Sam Giancana, que en ese momento era jefe de la mafia”, relató Masters, quien estaba con ella en el lugar.
Al parecer, Giancana estaba enamorado de la actriz y trató de convencerla de no hacer pública su relación con J. F. Kennedy. GDA/ El Universal
