The Verdict is IN! Cocaine Killed Whitney Houston…
…at least it was the cause of her heart disease, subsequent heart attack and accidental drowning. For her family, her mother especially, the knowledge that her daughter was still using is a shocking one. To the rest of the world…not so much. Whitney Houston’s self-destruction took two decades. Had she not died when she did, with a 60 per cent reduction in her arteries BECAUSE of her chronic drug use, she was a ticking time bomb.

Marilyn Monroe’s REAL Voice…
In the below audio interview you will hear Marilyn Monroe’s REAL speaking voice. Though recognizably her, her natural voice is a much lower register than the higher pitched/sexy coo that was manufactured for the screen.

The Infamous “While I’m Still Warm…” Money Clip to Be Auctioned…Along With Lots More Marilyn Monroe Memorabilia From the Estate of Allan “Whitey” Snyder!
Allan “Whitey” Snyder was Marilyn’s longtime makeup artist…he did her post-mortem makeup, but before her death, Marilyn asked “Whitey” to promise her that he’d do her makeup if she died before him. He joked, “Sure, bring the body back while it is still warm and I’ll do it.” Marilyn appreciated the joke so much, she gifted him with a gold Tiffany money clip.
The inscription read: Whitey Dear – While I’m still warm – Marilyn.
Sadly, by early-August of 1962, it was a joking pact that “Whitey” made good on…though he carried out his promise to do Marilyn’s post-mortem makeup, he needed a flask of whiskey to get him through the emotionally traumatic job.
With a starting bid of $3,000 and a sales estimate of $6,000 – $8,000, I have a feeling that this piece will go a lot higher than predicted. As of this writing, it already has a current bid of $4,000 and the auction doesn’t begin until March 31st.
Along with the money clip, there are many photos and letters from Snyder’s estate going under the hammer.
