ACTRESS’S WILL
Trust Fund For Mother (NZ. Preu Am-Copyright) HOLLYWOOD. August 10. Marilyn Monroe’s will contained bequests for personal friends and for her halfsister, Mrs Bernice Meracle, the film stars lawyers disclosed last night. The will also set up a trust fund for Miss Monroe's mother, who is a patient in a mental home near Hollywood. No further details were given. The lawyer said that the will would be offered for probate in New York within a week.
The 36-year-old actress was found dead of a massive overdose of sleeping pills early on Sunday morning and was buried quietly on Wednesday. A special coroner’s "suicide team” is continuing its investigations to determine whether her death was suicide or an accident.
