Megan Marshack's education
The news writer was schooled at Ulysses S. Grant High School, California. Afterwards, she went to Los Angeles Valley College, where she studied for a year before transferring to California State University in 1972 and graduating in 1975. She graduated with a double major in History and Journalism.
Career
Megan's ambition to become a successful news writer and a White House correspondent started when she was 12. Sharing her experience at some point, she said:
I decided to become a White House correspondent at age 12... I spent every waking moment and every dreaming moment trying to map out my strategy. When I was 15 and 16, I was out trying to hustle stories - with noted unsuccess.
Before she worked as an assistant of former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, she had been a radio news reporter for the Associated Press. Besides, she worked as a volunteer in a 1974 Common Cause-sponsored campaign to reform California election campaign laws.
What happened to Megan Marshack?
Marshack was employed to work for the vice president's office before Rockefeller left office. She became close to him at work, and her salary instantly increased. She also had unhindered access to the vice president, which she flaunted to the dislike of some of her colleagues.
After Rockefeller left office, Marshack continued as his aide until the fateful day of Rockefeller's death on 26 January 1979. It was first incorrectly reported that the former vice president died of a heart attack at his desk in the Rockefeller Centre. Later, it was corrected that he died at his property at 13 West 54th Street of a fatal heart attack, of which only Marshack was present when Rockefeller had the heart attack.

Many questions were raised, which the Rockefeller and Marshack families did not comment on. Soon, a version that Rockefeller died of a heart attack while having a romantic action with Marshack was established. It was also reported that Marshack delayed calling the police or an ambulance after the heart attack, which she did not comment on.
The Rockefeller family stated that everyone present during the unfortunate incident was responsible for saving their father. This statement closed the case, and no autopsy was carried out. Nevertheless, Marshack is still remembered as the woman who was there when Rockefeller died. Their relationship was beyond the employee and employer relationship, as she was included in Rockefeller's will.
Relationship and marriage
Marshack reportedly dated Charles Addams, a cartoonist whom they lived in the same apartment building. After the incident of 1979, she remained away from the public's eye while continuing her job as a news writer and producer. It was reported that Megan Marshack married a journalist in 2008.
Where is Megan Marshack now?
Reports state that as of January 2023, she lives with her husband in Southern California, United States of America.
Megan Marshack's net worth
Marshack's net worth is allegedly $500 thousand, according to Popular Net Worth's website. This accrues from what she got as salaries and income during her time as a White House correspondent, properties and assets, and her present works as a news writer and producer.
Megan Marshack was the aide to Nelson Rockefeller and was present when he died of a heart attack in 1979. The circumstances surrounding the death of Rockefeller have remained unclear to date, and it was a kind of setback to the ambitions of the young Marshack.
