Peter Lawford & Robert Kennedy. Marilyn befriended several high-profile personalities, including Peter Lawford, his wife Pat Kennedy, and Pat Newcomb, who became her best friend. The entire group would often spend time together, frequently attending gatherings or large parties at the Lawford and Kennedy homes.The guests were the who's who of Hollywood and at times high government officials would attend, including Robert Kennedy and his brother, then President John Kennedy. According to Tim Coates' Marilyn Monroe: The F.B.I Files, it was during these parties that Marilyn and the Kennedy brothers became acquainted during the beginning months of 1962.

During 1960-61, Marily began to develop a professional relationship with a new psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson. (Seen here with his family at Marilyn's funeral) It would prove to be a rather unusual relationship built on dependency and uncommon medical practices.
