Does anyone (Turnbull?) know if the Hollywood legend about Frank Sinatra and Joe Dimaggio having busted down a Hotel room door one time is true? Supposedly
Dimaggio thought he was going to find Marilyn in that Hotel room with another man but it was just some old lady's room.
I hadn't heard that hotel room door story, Scarlett, but it's well known that DiMaggio got physical in springing Marilyn from a mental hospital after their divorce.
Morris Engelberg, Dimaggio's lawyer, wrote an articel for Vanity Fair in which he said Sinatra was prominent on DiMaggio's s**t-list. Engelberg said that DiMaggio blamed Monroe's drug and alcohol addiction, and her death from an apparent overdose, on Sinatra and the Kennedy brothers. DiMaggio thought Sinatra introduced Monroe to the Kennedys in exchange for political favors.
