ABC News Cancels Documentary on Kennedys and Monroe

ABC News reportedly canceled a 1985 documentary exploring the alleged involvement of John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy in Marilyn Monroe's death to protect the Kennedy family's reputation. Author Maureen Callahan's book reveals the cancellation just before the broadcast, attributing the decision to then-ABC News President Roone Arledge, a close friend of Bobby Kennedy's wife. The book suggests Monroe's death was linked to her affairs with the Kennedys, with Bobby Kennedy allegedly demanding tape recordings from her home the day before her death, which the CIA and FBI had supposedly bugged. The canceled documentary and revelations in the book shed light on the complex relationships and potential implications surrounding Monroe's death and the Kennedy family's involvement.
