George Barris grew up in New York City before the second World War.

 Marilyn: Her Life in Her Own Words : Marilyn Monroe's Revealing Last Words and Photographs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)

I suspect that is really Barris' motivation in publishing this collection, to establish that the memory of this woman, who he obviously had a great affinity with and affection for, should not be stigmatized as a suicide.
George discussed how she was when she was at home, how she treated people and what she wanted in and out of life.
