Shocking claims Marilyn Monroe was secretly pregnant with Let’s Make Love co-star Yves Montand’s baby despite being married
Pictures reportedly show the icon of the screen with a visible bump
MARILYN Monroe was secretly pregnant with Let’s Make Love co-star Yves Montand’s baby while married, it has been sensationally claimed.
The claims came to light as photographs purporting to show the Some Like It Hot actress during her pregnancy were sold at auction.
The pictures, taken during her marriage to playwright Arthur Miller, had been labelled the “pregnant slides” by Monroe’s close friend Frieda Hull, the reports.
Taken in June 1960 at Fox Studios they allegedly show icon of the screen Monroe with a visible bump.
It has been claimed that Hull revealed to a friend that the father of Marilyn’s baby was Italian-French actor Montand.
Tony Michaels told the Mail: “She told me the story behind them, that Marilyn got pregnant by Yves Montand.
“It wasn’t a guess or a presumption, it was something she knew for sure, she was very close to Marilyn.”
A possible affair between Monroe and Montand has long been the subject of speculation.
The pair starred together in George Cukor’s movie Let’s Make Love.
Montand’s wife Simone Signoret once said “If Marilyn is in love with my husband it proves she has good taste, for I am in love with him too.”
Marilyn died in 1962, two years after the filming of Let’s Make Love.
it is claimed Hull told Mr Michaels she believed Marilyn had a nervous breakdown and possibly a miscarriage during the filming of her next film The Misfits.
The star had reportedly spent 10 days in hospital during production.
Monroe divorced Miller in 1961 after the pair finished work on The Misfits.
She had three publicised miscarriages and suffered with endometriosis.
