Monroe, Marilyn

Movie actress and sex symbol of the 1950s, Marilyn Monroe died of an overdose of barbiturates in 1962. 

When actress Sheree North filmed the 1956 movie How to Be Very, Very Popular, she received metham-phetamine shots, bottles of Benzedrine (another amphetamine) for daytime use and the barbiturate Nembutal to sleep at night. The actress described that situation in the book Marilyn The Last Take. In the 1993 book written by Peter Harry Brown and Patte Barham about the late actress Marilyn Monroe, North said that people did not know the drugs were harmful. She became addicted to the drugs, as did Monroe.

A solution of chloral, trichloroethanal, in aqueous alcohol is known as knockout drops or a Mickey Finn. The original Mickey Finn was a bartender in Chicago around 1900, who drugged and then robbed his customers. Chloral hydrate has had legitimate uses as an aid to sleep, and in dental anesthesia, and has also been used recreationally. Therapeutic doses of chloral were implicated in the drug overdose death of Anna Nicole Smith in 2007, and Marilyn Monroe was reported to have chloral hydrate in her system when she died. 

Barbituric acid (HjBA) has been known since 1863 when it was first synthesized by Adolf von Baeyer by the condensation of urea with malonic acid [105]. Subsequent years led to the development of its derivatives, collectively known as barbiturates, which were introduced for medical use by the beginning of the twentieth century [106]. Since then interest in this class of compounds virtually exploded, which is evident from the fact that up to date more than 2500 of its derivatives have been synthesized, while a number of them also made it to the market. However, by the second half of the 20 century, barbiturates have acquired a somewhat grim reputation in popular culture, since they were often used in suicides (including some high-profile suicides by Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Marilyn Monroe, and so on), and were the poisons of choice in numerous whodunnit detective stories.
