Jose Bolaños was born in Mexico City in 1935, and died there on June 11, 1994. He was known as something of a playboy, but was also a screenwriter and director. He married Italian actress Venetia Vianello, but his biggest claim to fame is his relationship with Marilyn Monroe.
Was Marilyn Monroe's escort at the 1962 Golden Globe Awards. A year after her death, Bolaños claimed to fan magazine Motion Picture that the two were going to marry and adopt a child. However, he didn't produced anything to prove such, no one in Monroe's inner circle ever confirmed a romance or engagement, and none of her biographers have ever accepted Bolaños as anything more than an escort.
