Marilyn Monroe Home Saved from Demo
Posted: September 6, 2025 | Source: deadline.comMarilyn Monroe purchased only one house during her 36-year lifetime when she bought a home in LA’s Brentwood neighborhood in early 1962—just a few months before her overdose death from sleeping pills. She paid $75,000 for the partially furnished home; her mortgage payments were only $320 a month. The current owners bought the home in 2023 for $8.35 million and planned to tear it down to expand their own next-door home. A judge has denied the current owners’ plan to demolish the home.
