A tragic end. A close confidante, Hull explained that Marilyn very much wanted a child, but was unsuccessful at becoming pregnant. No matter how many times she tried, she always ran into problems. In fact, for all of her attempts, she had experienced three miscarriages. The “baby bump” would be her fourth.
A Hollywood scandal. When the photos were taken, Marilyn was caught up in something of a scandal. Though she was married to Arthur Miller, the acclaimed playwright who had written the play for which her upcoming film had been based on, she had been having an affair which most people were aware of.
The father. So, with this scandal, and according to Hull, it turns out that Miller was not the father. She had been having an affair with Yves Montand, an Italian-French actor with whom she was allegedly very happy. Hull claimed that Montand was the father.
Death of a friend. Since Hull had passed away before anyone could ask her about the photos, we’re only left with her word at this point. However, on top of her word, we’re also left with pieces to a puzzle that may very well paint a clearer picture of the scandalous and tragic life of Marilyn Monroe.
