Jeanne Carmen-Marilyn Monroe Wanna Be Dies

Jeanne Carmen died of lymphoma at the age of 77.

Jeanne Carmen was a 1950s Pin-Up Girl who has been in the news recently. There are talks of making Jeanne Carmen’s book into a movie. My Wild, Wild Life as a New York Pin Up Queen by Jeanne Carmen has all the makings of a Hollywood movie. There was also an E! True Hollywood Story about Jeanne Carmen-Jeanne Carmen: Queen of the B-Movies.

To be honest, I never heard of her. Jeanne Carmen claims to have been a close friend of Marilyn Monroe, but there are no photos of the two together. Odd that there are no photos since Marilyn Monroe was the original paparazzi bait for everyone who owned a camera. Jeanne Carmen is mentioned as being close to mobsters and singers Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley as well. Jeanne Carmen also claimed to be a great golf hustler.

She said recently that she wanted either Scarlett Johansson or Kate Bosworth to portray her in a new film biography The Wild, Wild Life of Jeanne Carmen.

Since there is little real information online about Jeanne Carmen, her website has been slammed and will likely not be up for a while. Visit Topix for a list of Jeanne Carmen stories, look for links that say Full Story.
