A noted scholar, historian, producer, writer, director, and entrepreneur, Keya Morgan first appeared on CNN as a child business prodigy at age 11, and has since lent his expertise to clients that comprise dozens of the world's most famous people and prestigious institutions. These include the White House, the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institute, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Stanford University, and the Louvre Museum in Paris.
A native New Yorker, Keya first developed a deep and abiding interest in Marilyn Monroe during the mid-1990s, thanks partly to his friendship with her third husband Arthur Miller and later her first husband James Dougherty. He then began to research the circumstances surrounding her mysterious death in earnest after speaking with Jack Clemmons, the first police officer on the scene, who informed him that Marilyn had succumbed to murder, not suicide. This, in turn, led Keya to interview over 300 people -- everyone from her husbands, friends, doctor, maid, publicist, and pall bearer to the coroner, the prosecutor, the man who signed her death certificate, CIA agents, a former head of the FBI, and a long list of other people with first-hand knowledge of details relating to her demise.
At the one and only Marilyn Monroe estate auction, held by Christie's on October 27, 1999, Keya Morgan bought hundreds of items, including much of Marilyn's private library, with many personally inscribed books. Along with many other items he accumulated over the years, he now possesses the largest Monroe collection in the world, as well as large portions of the estates of her second husband Joe DiMaggio and close friend Marlon Brando.
Additionally, Keya Morgan owns the world's largest collections of both Ulysses S. Grant and Abraham Lincoln manuscripts, artifacts, and original photographs, many of which have been featured in numerous documentaries, books, newspapers, and magazines, including the cover of Time on no less than three occasions. Today, items from the Keya Morgan Collection are continually on exhibit at the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress, and the White House.
In a full-page article which President Barack Obama wrote for Time, he remarked that his favorite photograph of Lincoln is one belonging to the Keya Morgan Collection. Later, Keya made national headlines when he discovered the only photograph of Lincoln in front of the White House.
A voting member of the Recording Academy (Grammy Awards), Keya has worked very closely with Michael Jackson, Buzz Aldrin, Al Pacino, and dozens of other high-profile celebrities. He has been repeatedly interviewed and quoted by every major national media outlet, as well as thousands of different newspapers and websites worldwide, including CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, Fox News, The Today Show, GMA, The Early Show, Reuters, the Associated Press, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the New York Post, the New York Daily News, USA Today, the L.A. Times, and People magazine, among many others.
Currently, Keya Morgan is producing and directing the highly anticipated "Marilyn Monroe: Murder On Fifth Helena Drive," a documentary which has so far been reported on in 189 countries around the globe.
