7 Absolutely Bonkers Things About Old Hollywood Celebrities (3 of 4)

4. Cary Grant

Apparently, Cary Grant also spied on people, but in Hollywood. Cary Grant, the suave Hollywood icon, reportedly took on a covert role in Tinseltown, searching for Nazi sympathizers. One of his targets was German-born Count Kurt von Haugwitz-Hardenberg-Reventlow, who was married to heiress Barbara Woolworth Hutton at the time. Interestingly, Grant later married Hutton after her divorce.

5. Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe’s last known words were eerily spoken to actor Peter Lawford, brother-in-law to both Robert and John F. Kennedy. “Say goodbye to Pat, say goodbye to Jack, and say goodbye to yourself, because you’re a nice guy,” she said. The ‘Jack’ here referred to then-President JFK. This call is significant because of Monroe’s rumored affairs with both brothers JFK and Robert F. Kennedy. There were also whispers that Robert F. Kennedy visited her the night she died, although the Kennedys denied this. However, Monroe’s housekeeper Eunice Murray, who discovered her body, claimed that Robert had visited Marilyn and they had argued. Suspiciously, Monroe was found holding her phone with a crumpled White House number, and despite her connections to the Kennedys, there were other odd details about her death. After discovering her body, Murray called Monroe’s psychiatrist before the police, who arrived nearly an hour later. Furthermore, Lawford claimed he knew of her death at 1:30 a.m., whereas the wife of Monroe’s press relations manager, Arthur Jacobs, later maintained that her husband had received the call about Marilyn’s death at 10:30.
