LEONARDI Peter

 

Practise: between 1954 and 1955 he was Marilyn's handyman, in New York.

Portrait : 

 

He was used as driver, hairdresser and assistant at the time when she ran the Marilyn Monroe Productions with Milton Greene: 

 

He told James Haspiel, during the Summer 1955, that he had taken Marilyn to the nice area of Bowery, where she had given money to the homeless.

Their collaboration stopped suddenly when he claimed (wrongly according to Donald Spoto) that Milton Greene and Marilyn had promised to help him to be self-employed. Leonardi had sued Marilyn and naively tried to win by hostaging Marilyn's fur coats. Between November 6 to 9, 1955, the case was solved.
