2008-09-19 10:01:12 - By Mark Bellinghaus, CEO, MMPLLC, official expert witness in the Queen Mary Marilyn Monroe fraud class action lawsuit, 2006 / 2007.

Milli Vanilli did it in the 1980's, they fooled the entire world with their lip syncing and made it so professional, that they were awarded a Grammy Award (later revoked). The pop duo fooled paying costumers and fans. Now 'Milli' Conroy, 57, aka Millington Conroy--a perfume salesman from CA, has done it too. Fooling the contributing editor Sam Kashner, 54, a contributing editor for the popular VANITY FAIR magazine--and their respected readers. This media hoax truly reminds anyone of the sensational (and published) 'diaries of Adolf Hitler,' presented by the German 'Stern' Magazine in the 1980's and creating headlines and interest around the globe. And they were at first also recognized as being 'authentic,' too. Turns out--they were all forged. A spectacular media hoax. VANITY FAIR's 'The Secret Marilyn Files' - claiming to show 'hand typed' letters from Hollywood super star and Andy Warhol muse Norma Jeane Baker aka Marilyn Monroe to the Kennedys' is nothing but a bogus forgery--executed by a man who actively supported the biggest exhibition fraud in history. When will the 'modern and investigative magazine' VANITY FAIR admit that they were fooled and take the con artist Mill Conroy where he truly belongs--to court! Or can we assume that Vanity Fair printed this super sensational cover story completely without paying Mr. Conroy who defrauded my own collection by selling documents, yet photocopying them before the sale and now presented those copies as the originals--to the fooled editorial crew at VANITY FAIR. Bravo!
How 'investigative' - to show cheap photocopies--as real and authentic documents.

I am understandably upset and outraged, and to see Mrs. Lee Strasberg -- Anna Strasberg, CEO of MMLLC, (formerly known as the estate of Marilyn Monroe), of all all people now claiming copyright for the content of those copies and fakes.

How about that? When I can prove that I own the original, not the copy VANITY FAIR has printed as the original on page 331 in their October 2008 issue. Another criminal joke. Another prank by Millington Conroy. Con-artist-roy.
Sam Kashner, author of this interview of shame proudly mentions that he worked on this piece of journalistic garbage without backings and research being done, for over two long years. Can you believe this?

It is a shock. How much does this 'editor' get paid for not seeing what is right in front of him? The typed letters do not make sense to anyone. Why would Inez Melson have those. Ms Melson was overlooked by Marilyn Monroe in her last will and testament, and Mill Conroy makes up for it? Claiming that his aunt (that relationship is still not proven and very questionable after his avalanche of lies came down on us all) had stolen those perfume bottles, half empty ones--from the bedroom where her former employer just died in? Which monster would do such a thing? Inez Melson was no 'hoarder of tacky hats, purses and junk such as shown on the VANITY FAIR website--as Marilyn Monroe's belongings.' Marilyn Monroe never owned anything of the Mill Conroy creations--the clothing, the 'keep sakes.' Those are fabrications and 'keepsakes' a la 'June DiMaggio.'
Or, would you believe him now, knowing what you just learned about a forger, that Marilyn Monroe had an abortion? She did not, she always wanted kids, she was trying to have one. Desperately. A child, after all, would have saved her life.

Sometimes frauds can create positive careers--Before the movie 'HOAX' there was SCHTONK! (1992)
BTW: The story about the fake Hitler diaries was wonderfully portrayed and taken on by the German satyr movie named Schtonk!, which was nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Foreign movie category. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schtonk!
Starring actress Veronica Ferres would have her acting breakthrough and is now one of Germany's leading and most beloved actresses.

To watch the interview with Sam Kashner simply click the link and realize the all the hats, purses, jewels are in top condition--for being at least 46 years of age. Even stored in dust free environment these items would show age. But Conroy's do not. Listen how 'mysterious' Kashner thought this two year project was. Conroy was hiding, he fooled us too, and he always had excuses, not to show. Now we know why.
