House haunting? Marilyn’s home for sale
MARILYN Monroe fans may want to watch her 1953 comedy How To Marry A Millionaire again if they house ambitions of buying the tragic star’s old home.
The property where the former model and actress died aged just 36 has gone up for sale for $ 6.9million (£ 5.4million).
The white house in Brentwood, Los Angeles, has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a gated entrance, large kitchen and an expansive back garden with swimming pool.
It was where Marilyn, real name Norma Jeane Baker, was discovered dead in August 1962.
She was found by her psychiatrist Ralph Greenson lying naked on her bed with a telephone in her hand after a barbiturate overdose.
Speaking about the property just weeks before her death, Marilyn called it: “A place for any friends of mine who are in some kind of trouble, you know, and maybe they’ll want to live here where they won’t be bothered till things are OK for them.”
