Synopsis
As the plump sausages were beginning to brown, there was a knock on the door. Chicago Mob Boss Sam Giancana showed no fear as he turned back the double locks on the heavy steel door of his fortress like home that protected him from the outside world. Sam looked his old friend Johnny Rosselli in the eye and invited him in. The men kissed on the cheek, exchanged pleasantries and shared a laugh. Then "Mooney", as Johnny affectionately called Sam, heard the sausages sizzling in their pan and ran back to the stove to keep them from burning. While he was rolling them over, Johnny quietly crept up behind him and placed the muzzle of a .22 caliber handgun equipped with a silencer at the base of his skull and said "Sam, this is for Marilyn". Sam hesitated a moment as he tended to the sausages. A split second passed. In that moment, an image of Marilyn Monroe, the quintessential Hollywood Goddess, platinum blond bombshell, orphaned child, cheesecake pin up girl, fantasy lover to thousands of men, supposed tragic suicide victim and lover of President John F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby, filled Sam's head. Then Johnny pulled the trigger.

January 31, 2008: I cried, I laughed but mostly I found someone for which I wish I had known, not for who she knew, but for who SHE was.. the way she thought, her wisdom her candor, if you can't handle truth then this book is not for you, but for those of us that love honesty, guts and sheer determination to live life no matter what it throws at you .. then you MUST read this.. Jeanne Carmen was nothing short of amazing. People like her only come around rarely and if you are lucky enough to know someone like her TREASURE them, for they are truly a treasure to have in your life.
