Marilyn Monroe’s Only Home!
Posted: August 23, 2022 | Source: www.scmp.comMarilyn Monroe starred in many of the 1950’s and early 60’s biggest box-office hits, including Some Like It Hot, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and The Misfits. Proceeds from her films, which grossed over $200 million, would have afforded her the ability to buy almost any home her heart desired. However, she purchased only one house in her own name during her 36-year lifetime when she bought a home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles 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.
