Announcer: "This is the Evening News Edition of CBS News with Walter Cronkite. Brought to you by Dristan.

WC: " Capturing the world attention caused by her death. Even the Russians today sat in judgement calling her a victim of Hollywood. In Hollywood today a team of doctors and psychiatrists were still trying to determine exactly what she was a victim of. Her own hand or an accident? But the coroners inquest can only tell us how Marilyn Monroe died, and not why? Why with everything to live for with fame and fortune in their grasp are so many of our movie queens desperately unhappy. 

By closed circuit television  I asked that question  to Miss Kim Novak in Hollywood this afternoon.

Kim Novak responds and discusses her insight with Walter Cronkite in a four minute segment.
