13. LaVey claims to have had a relationship with Marilyn Monroe, but most people think otherwise
According to legend, LaVey ‘had a brief affair with a then-unknown Marilyn Monroe, after accompanying [musically] her “chain-dragging” striptease at the Mayan Burlesque Theatre’, LA. The club’s owner, however, denied that either Monroe or LaVey ever worked for him, and LaVey’s first wife claimed that she forged Monroe’s signature on a calendar previously cited as ‘proof’ for the affair. LaVey was known to be obsessed with her, even being photographed at her grave in 1967. Intriguingly, Jayne Mansfield was a deliberate Monroe-clone, mimicking even her voice and mannerisms, so perhaps LaVey just had to settle for the rip-off version.
