Pamela Mora, the wife of director / journalist Philippe Mora, has worked with her husband in many capacities on many of his films.  When Philippe discovered the declassified FBI document about Robert Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, Pamela experienced first hand the push-back from the U.S. media when Philippe brought the information forward, as one scheduled TV appearance after another was canceled in America, at the same time his story was making international news.  

She still cannot explain how her "Golden Dreams" framed calendar photo of Marilyn seemed to leap from a coffee table and crack at the peak of the news censorship, as if Marilyn herself were expressing dismay.
