I want to know who allowed Kim K to wear that dress. Despicable!!!
Kim wearing it was JUST GROSS.
Obviously the wrong people have the dress. If any curator or museum had this dress, no amount of money would allow her to get it. I read that that's exactly how she got the dress.
@@LibertyStation92106. And all that love shown to Marilyn in 2022 at her crypt makes me so happy. In 60 years who will be doing that at a Kardashian grave?
@@LibertyStation92106 Totally agree.
She shouldn't even be in our country . Society has certainly declined for the worse .
Kartrashian should have never been allowed to wear that dress. And Marilyns 🏠 should not be demolished
It sux that 'trashian's name is linked to the dress now. I'm sure it's what she wanted too. Very tacky chick. She wishes she could be in the same league as Marilyn.
Kardashian looked that a peasant, not hot at all and she ruined the dress. Marilyn was beautiful, original, legend, not a reality tv show freak trash like the former.
i agree, kardashian narcissism at its worst. that trash actually thinks she's worthy of wearing something MM wore?? let alone destroying it in the process.
I agree on both how dare they
If I’m not mistaken marlyn wasn’t squeaky clean no lies detected
This is infuriating. I think there needs to be laws to protect these historical places.
Or you could have bought it.
you' re so right!!!
The owners should have known, they were stupid to purchase this property and expect to demolish it with no fight. It should be protected.
Why would you buy a famous persons house and then want to demolish it, with no regard to history or architecture!
Greed. The plot must be worth a fortune
And then act surprised when people get upset! The owners can't be *that* naive.
Their property, they can do whatever the fuck they want
Many of those old homes are structurally deficient. You would be amazed at how many of them are severely and irreparably damaged underneath the exterior facade. It is actually much more expensive to fix than tear down and start over. If you saw the property in person you may be shocked at how decrepit things really are.
Marilyn has has been gone for over sixty years ... this young generation hardly know who she was ... I suppose its time for the developers to move in ...
This is what I hate about LA. So many gorgeous, architecturally significant homes lost so they could be replaced with tacky McMansions.
Same thing happening in Saint Petersburg, Florida. Despicable. The charm and history of all the neighbourhood’s are lost forever.
So they can charge 40 Mcmillion $$$ a month.
It's not just LA, it's everywhere
This is kind of like the Fred Thompson-Francis Marion house designed by Wallace Neff. It sat on 120 acres in Bel Air. Greta Garbo called it Enchanted Hill. Microsoft Paul Allan bought the place and tore it down. It's been an empty lot since then.
@@user-mr8ep9lv1i Just an idea. Marilyn's former house is on half an acre of land in a high density part of a suburban sprawl, and is severely overlooked. The surrounding area looks nothing special, with oversized properties and will be very expensive. Would it be possible to reconstruct the house and garden in a more beautiful location, and say open it as a restaurant/hostel/AirbnB? After all, half an acre in America's 2.43 billion acres is nothing. I'm only saying this because I think the property is lovely, is of architectural merit, nice proportions, and is worth preserving.
Marilyn Monroe's home should be designated a historical landmark and museum . Small private tours of the home with all the proceeds donated to Holygrove orphanage where she stayed. If it weren't for Hugh Hefner, the Hollywood sign was going to be torn down. Pickfair being demolished by Pia Zadora is a disgrace! These landmarks are irreplaceable 💕
I ABSOLUTELY agree with your comment 100 percent !!!!!!!!!
Exactly!! They care about money so freakin much this could make them even MORE MONEY!
Yeah just like they did to Graceland Elvis presley estate.
Totally agree!
I agree with you…
I certainly hope that Marilyn's Monroe's bungalow is never torn down. It truly is an historical landmark. R.I.P. Marilyn Monroe
The idea of demolishing her beautiful home is despicable! 💔😢
This is why our cities have no historical bldgs. which were built better than most new ugly bldgs.
Current owners must have voted for Biden, Hillary and Obama
🇨🇵.. ça me fend le cœur 💔💔💔💔 qu'elle dommage... pourquoi...?
@@yettimannettii2039 No, someone who think the homewrecker was an important person voted for the libs.
Lovely home. I hope it remains. Cheers from Australia.
The new buyer has too much money and zero compassion for our legends..
They are probably too young to even know who she is. ☹️☹️☹️☹️
Why should the new owner care for anyone’s feelings? It’s their property now and they can do what they please to do so.
@@shadowwoman7605 umm because it's not any house .. pure selfish
You spelled whor3 wrong
@@shadowwoman7605 Exactly! People saying how wrong the buyer is for doing what they want with their property are still God worshiping celebrities. The current owner is probably tired of tourists coming to the house poking their noses in places they shouldn't be and holding cameras over the gate as if they are going to find traces of a woman who has been dead for 62 years. The house was not turned into a museum, preserving the home and all furniture as it was when Marilyn lived there. I'm sure her family went in and cleaned out everything that belonged to her after she died. With that being the case, the home ceased being hers and therefore has no historic value other than the fact it had a famous resident who died there.
My cousin purchased that house when he first moved to Hollywood. He never lived in it and sold it after owning it for about 8 years. He moved back to England and purchased a castle that he was going to renovate, but he was so busy with theater at the time that he ended up selling it as well. I always wished he had invited us out to California so we could've seen Marilyn's home for ourselves. He had become famous by then and became a real a-hole towards family. His daddy, my uncle, said he " got too big for his britches". He wasn't wrong. RIP Marilyn🕊🤍💔🕯
Who was your cousin? He seemed to be well off.
Very sad if this home gets demolished 😢.
@@dfelixrx7 Tommy Lee Jones.
@@minigirl6839No way 😂 he's your cousin??
Wow xx
@@minigirl6839what!? He is a arse-hole? Wow, I had respect for him.
Needs to be saved as a historical building. Such a shame.
They shouldn’t have bought the historical house hoping to tear it down.
Foreign developers with no cultural ties here, most likely.
That needs to be STOPPED
Exactly. They knew how famous the house was and had to know they'd face outrage for tearing it down. How about adding on to it in the back (if possible), leave the front alone.
@@lorihoop3831 This is strictly a bragging point for them. "Look how rich we are!"
I read that they live next door to the residence and bought it with the hope of tearing it down to make their mansion bigger.
That is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ! Just like , the very first time I had ever been to Marilyn's last house , we pulled up and parked and the big gate was open and There in the yard was a lady and her toddler son . So , I walked up to this side of the big gate and The lady had her back to me - where I was standing and she was on the phone , I was very polite waiting for her to notice me standing There , But when she turned around and saw me ( and I hadn't even said a word .) She just started Screaming at me , "No NO , I AM SO SICK OF ALL THE PEOPLE & THE MEDIA I never get a moments rest " is What she screamed and I thought to myself "Well lady , You shouldn't have bought Marilyn Monroe's LAST HOUSE then" , I mean it's not like it belonged to just some Actress , MARILYN WASNT JUST SOME "MOVIE STAR" , MARILYN WAS( & IS ) A LEGEND !!! right ?
(my 2 cents)
Chances are the owners bought the home and paid what they paid BECAUSE it was Marilyn's house. SO keep Marilyn's house.
To tear down any of those great classic Hollywood bungalows to build a HUGE eye sore, like the others being built next-door is truly sad.
Stop erasing great architecture, history. That should be preserved for future generations.
Well said !!!!😊🇬🇧
They can sell it to someone that loves it.
@@lylafournier-mm5ththey should but would never happen
Shame they don't let anyone sign there thing so they can't do it
I AGREE TOTALLY !!!
@@mariaevans5793
Thank you
Peace to you
Marilyn would be (about) 96 today. She'd still be beautiful! Please remember this lovely woman with respect.
..98
This house is all that’s left of her legacy. She was so proud of that house, the ability to put down roots.
Up the coast in Monterey, you cannot demolish any house of significance. Harben Hunter was a significant architect. This frustrates billionaires to no end, but it favors preservation. That house is so elegant in its simplicity and unpretentiousness.
I went to Marilyn’s grave in 1990, and then to her house in Brentwood, I don’t think anyone was living there at the time, the garden looked overgrown and neglected, I took a photo and had a painting done, that still hangs on my living room wall.
It was one of the most memorable days of my life..
To Rhonda Forbes.
How lovely that you had a painting done, of the photograph you took of Marilyn's home!
I would have loved to get to know her NEIGHBOUR, who was interviewed on T.V.
Close to tears, as she spoke of her close friend - and how she felt it wasn't right about what happened to her.
Yes the house looks a bit run down in images here from 95'.. I'm thinking, in the scenario with the house... Do I want to be remembered by my death and if so, what of it? Should where it took place become an odd tourist attraction? I hope not.
@@GirlJay67 En effet la maison est délabrée et doit être démolie, ce n'est quand même que la maison d'une actrice, si il fallait garder toutes les maisons de toutes les actrices et acteurs
@@moniquesilverans3842she wasn’t just any actress though, was she? She became a cultural icon. It’s a shame there isn’t a historical organisation that keeps and maintains these properties.
@@dellablair8514 Une icône qui a obtenu ses rôles en couchant !!!!!!! De plus lors des réunions des producteurs autour d'une table, la pauvre Marilyn était en dessous de la table et devinez ce qu'elle devait faire, c'était une pauvre femme dont les producteurs ont profité au maximum, elle était moins qu'une serviette pour eux alors que pour les spectateurs c'était une idole. Donc il ne faut pas s'étonner du désarroi de cette pauvre femme qui m'a toujours fait pitié car en réalité personne ne l'a aidée, c'est très très triste. Mais une maison ne représente plus rien quand une personne n'est plus dedans, je le sais car j'adorais la maison de mes grands-parents mais maintenant que je n'ai plus ni grands-parents ni parents, cette maison ne représente plus rien que des pierres et la maison de Marilyn n'était pas terrible , seul l'endroit dans une impasse est intéressant. Bonne journée.
I wish they would quit demolition houses that should be saved due to History.
As a native Angeleno, I couldn’t agree more!
Or quality, or characer.
Agreed 💯
I grew up 25 min. from here. When my daughter and I visited Marilyn's crypt recently, we left our kisses for her, and then went to visit her home (2-3 mi. from the cemetery) . I literally GASPED as they had begun bulldozing homes on the left side of her street, Fifth Helena Drive. This neighborhood is/WAS (!!) so charming with its mix of cute bungalows and stucco Spanish haciendas. They're destroying it! 😭😭😭
It's not important enough to save. It's just a celebrity home. Where she died. SO every celebrity home ever, anywhere, in which the said celebrity died, should be preserved? You're being ridiculous. He has every right to do with that property what he wishes, as long as it meets zoning laws and codes.
Kim Kartrashian is exactly that and who in their right mind handed over Marilyns dress to her?
Why would anyone let that gross pig wear it?? Did she pay for it?? Since she ruined it, they should have
charged her at least a million for such an iconic dress! These people just irritate the hell outta me! If I could
afford her house, I wouldnt destroy it....I would open it up for tours and preserve her legacy and its history.
Everything is being lost and forgotten. Makes me sad. Thanks for the video Scott!
I dont understand it either from a true icon to hand over her dress, is dis crasful Kim has no respect
$$$$ can do wonders
I did read somewhere that Kim or her mother made donations I gather in order to wear it, and I thought it was around a million but could be wrong.
I love her Brentwood home, secluded, quiet and modest but not uniform. Such a tranquil place, surrounded by lots of greenery, she had good taste! Thanks for the tour!
Oh and the thought of demolishing such a beautiful home is so ridiculous... I heard they wanted to flatten the entire area to create a bigger lawn for their kids to play on smh..
Greedy developers make me sick they are always pulling historical buildings down and leaving nothing for future generations to see , if humanity does not have a past to learn from then the future is bleak.
So true!
I agree! 😢😢😢
developers MAIN COCERN IS THE MONEY
Photographs and videos preserve history very well.
A billionaire bought it, they own one of the houses next door. They want to tear it down to expand their property.
They need to quit demolishing these historical homes and buildings. Why would you buy that particular house just to demolish it?
Agreed. Find another location! What a shame.
Because they can 😂
Because they have money it’s their choice after purchase? 🤷🏼♀️
They do that for the land/property.
@@MKD0804we would have absolutely no historical architecture left if everybody thought like you do. It's a very detached way of life to have no respect for what's being inherited.
People never take the time to ponder the ramifications of their actions. Kim K's didn't take into account damaging the dress. She only cared about wearing Marilyn's gown, and the owners of Marilyn's house have not taken in the cultural significance and respect one must have for someone with Marilyn's myth and the respect in Mr. Harbin Hunter's architecture. The home shouldn't be torn down because it is a piece of art. It is not a "cookie-cutter" home. The type you would find in a sub-division.
Oeuvre d'art,?????? c'est juste une maison pour le fond du jardin pour y entreposer des outils de jardinage
PLEASE DON'T let MM's🌹 home be torn down!!!😥😥😥
why would you destroy history we in Britain celebrate houses where famous people lived and list them if the person is very famous they even have plaques telling people who lived their they are called blue plaques so tourists can visit them
in the US, the people that buy those houses are not even American they don’t care about the history
🙄because it’s their property and they probably don’t want creeps going up to their house
@@user-hq7rd5hj7jthey are the creeps destroying American heritage. I bet you would object if your neighbors built a homeless shelter or car park next door to you you dumb clown lol. This should be illegal as it is in Europe. No wonder the US is looking like an ugly giant industrial estate these days 🙄
Their idiots.
You have to understand that the vast majority of LA's "historical houses" are not particularly old or noteworthy on their own merit. There are literally thousands of cool-looking homes in Los Angeles with celebrity pedigrees, some multiple times over, that are owned and lived in by people who don't want to be bothered by looky-loos. Despite being financially well-off, most of these people are normal folks trying to live normal lives. Additionally, many historic homes are located deep within residential neighborhoods - some accessible via narrow, winding hillside roads, or cul-de-sacs like Marilyn's - and therefore totally unsuited to tourist traffic. This is why the Playboy Mansion isn't a Museum (that said, the current owner did agree to preserve the most historic features of the house because of its architectural and cultural significance). Marilyn's house is not architecturally unique or rare on its own merit, and it's virtually invisible from the street. It is not a grand landmark, it's a very private piece of property. There are many museums, foundations, and government entities that preserve places like Edgar Allan Poe's house, Louis Armstrong's house, Mount Vernon, Monticello, the Vanderbilt Estate, Hearst Castle (owned by the State of California), and many, many more, but those properties have support and logistical characteristics that Marilyn's doesn't.
It’s so sad that a beautiful piece of our history was destroyed just because she tried to squeeze her ridiculously huge butt into a dress that was once worn by the beautiful Marilyn Monroe she didn’t care that she completely ruined such a gorgeous dress
These People have No Class. Talent, or Respect.
FAKE BUTT at that... lol so full of self
This is a LEGACY home.
LEGEND.
ONE DOES NOT TOUCH THIS.
That home needs to be saved!
incomprehensible why someone would buy Marilyn Monroe’s home when they didn’t even want this beautiful house they just wanted the land it was built on, why didn’t they just buy a empty lot elsewhere geesh; Im so heartbroken her house could be demolished, I hope these owners lose their lawsuit, save this beautiful historical home
Kim Kartrashian wearing that dress was quite a low. I would keep the house as is too. I love the old places anyhow.
So disrespectful of her wearing Marilyn's Dress
@@pressman1965 Une robe de poule portée par une autre poule
I don't know if I'll ever get to visit Marilyn's grave so thank you for showing us your visit, Scott. I have always loved Marilyn, as so many others still do too. I wish I had the money to buy that house, it is so beautiful, and modest for a star of her stature at that time. Wherever she is now, I truly hope she knows how much she is still loved 🤍
They worked hard to save The Beatles childhood homes. They succeeded. I am glad. I know when its johns birthday the upstairs bedroom light is on all night. Probably on his death day too. Love that. Yes save her home.
America needs to regrow its balls and put a rule in housing contracts prohibiting destruction if said house symbolizes historic significance.
Exactly 👍
America is no more.
America is no more.
It's private property. If you own it, you can do with it what you want as long as it conforms to zoning regulations. In NYC, some properties are designated by the Landmarks Commission as historic in nature so whoever owns it can only make changes the Commission approves. The formation of the Commission was spearheaded by Jackie Kennedy after the Pennsylvania RR sold off Penn Station to developers who immediately demolished about 90% of it and built 2 Penn Plaza and Madison Square Garden above it.
That's the truth those legendary houses have style that can't be replaced. Thank you for this.
Quel style ?
If they're rich enough to buy TWO houses, and tear one down, to show how wealthy they are, they can buy any one of a thousand much bigger houses in Los Angeles. This is just for their own ego to say "We just had Marilyn's house torn down! Ain't we clever?"
This would be such a shame if it's demolished! It's part of history! I'm from Belfast and was hoping to at least stand outside it some day. What's wrong with these owners? I'd be proud to live in Marilyn's last home. Very sad.
it cost more because it was her home. So they buy it and want to tear it down? makes no sense
Some people have MORE MONEY than they know what to do with and LESS SENSE!!...😡🤬
That’s something I don’t understand here in states. There are few people who appreciate the older homes and especially the celebrities of long ago. Thanks for sharing
Oh, no!! Please don’t let them tear down that home.
I have a feeling that the house that is built on that property will be cursed.
One can only hope.
Similar to where Sharon Tate died. The people who moved into the house after the murders have reportedly seen Sharon's ghost. The house has since been torn down, and a new home has been built. I don't know if her spirit is now at the new home.
don't be surprised if it accidently catches fire and is destroyed. That is usually what happens when they don't get permission.
Jewish lightning is what it’s called.
Also, I didn’t invent this saying, it’s been called that for years and years.
Yeah, by accident!!
Always remember when you die you take NOTHING with you.
Ok....
However...you DO leave behind your personal history and accomplishments for succeeding generations to enjoy and understand... That's what all of human history consists of.... And our habitats can be a touchstone for those following....
Sure you do! A casket, or an urn, a crypt, etc., etc.
People need to learn to respect the history and what they are inheriting to carry on into the future. Recreating your world every few years so all the buildings are new is a very detached way of life.
True but her stuff should be left alone
She is still there
No they shouldn't be allowed to tear it down because they knew before they bought it what a historical and cherished piece of History they would be in possession of.
HI Scott...Im sortof a History Nut, and I like what you said about not having to like these historic home Tear Downs. 110% Agree!! Its Wreckless. We need to preserve history. Now more then ever.
Idk why they would even buy it knowing it’s history and then demolish it. Why not buy a different property close by? They can’t be shocked that it’s upsetting to people. It’s a shame because houses like this and Sharon tates were so beautiful and tasteful and unique and they’re only being demolished to be replaced by the soulless output that these new architects have to offer. My dream home is straight out of Tuscany Italy. Made of all stone. I love houses with character! Los Angeles has my favorite homes because of how many of them are from a time when architects were creative and soulful and it’s a shame they’re losing their soulful homes as well. Thanks for the interesting content and always getting us the good shot as always Scott!😊
The house on Cielo Drive is a different situation and was host to horrific murders. I don't really blame whoever demolished that one.
@@linphillips8331just what I said too. The two properties aren’t comparable 💯
Oui les maisons en pierres sont jolies comme celle de l'Italie mais la maison en question est quelconque et sans intérêt architectural
@@moniquesilverans3842 six people were murdered in one property that the difference froggy
First they torn down the Sharon Tate house back in the mid 90s ...now they're tearing down Marilyn Monroe's house.
The tate house isn’t really compatible to Marilyn’s tbh
Well, Marilyn's just is not comparable to Sharon's. Sharon and her guests were brutally murdered in it. I don't know anyone that would want to live in such a place. I know I would not having seen the death photos of it, which the LAPD took and had to for evidence of the crime scene. Marilyn died in bed as we all know by now. There was no crime committed there. That is a fact.
@@BlowinFreeNo. But it was much more tasteful than that monstrosity that currently squats on that property.
@@Fawn91193 of course it was
Hmmm.....Id say like the Gien farmhouse, these abodes bring back bad memories and I don't think they should be memorialized.
I love taking drives with you, Scott! It’s like cruising around checking stuff out chatting with an old friend chock full of interesting knowledge. Thank you!
They should never tear Marilyn Monroe's house down it should be established as a national Landmark never never to be demolished ever that house should be a dedicated in her honor and it should be kept up during the years that house should stay let Marilyn Monroe's house stay 👍👍💯🙏🐻🌞⛱️🌅
Marilyn Monroe our Hollywood Angel 😇🙏
My first time to her home was in 1977, looked just as it did in 1962. A real pity that the owners do not appreciate what they have, just idiots. Someone has gotta step in and stop this insanity. Where is the petition, I'll sign it. Thanks Scott!
don't be surprised if it accidently catches fire and is destroyed. That is usually what happens when they don't get permission.
It would be nice if they could put it up for sale again, and let someone who knows, and appreciates the true value of what the house stands for have it!!

Section 8 is what they want. Multi level apts for all those newbies.
It's a beautiful home and very historic should not be allowed to be torn down. I live in uk and we protect these kinds of houses for historical purposes. I do not get why anyone would want to demolish this...
How do you protect things like this? Because I’d anyone has money ans purchase it’s no one’s business what they do after a purchase!
In some cases here in the U.S.A., there are homes that are deemed "cultural" significance or deemed thereof. This may be one of those cases. It is pending a vote
in the L.A. Council.
@@shadowwoman7605 well tbf it’s everyone’s business. It’s an historically important property. I bet that's why the owners bought the house in the first place but then decided they wanted to knock it down. If they don’t want it they should sell it as is and get their money back because I guarantee someone would keep it as it is. It’s not like she just visited the place. It’s important because it’s where she lived and died. Over here the local authorities would purchase the house for the people or the national trust would raise the cash through donations etc.
@@LeeTheVet fingers crossed 🤞🏻 like I said it’s more than just a place she visited so is important. You never know some billionaire may buy it and donate it to the people
Scott you have the best info. I simply love Marilyn Monroe she was stunning. It's such a shame we lost her too soon. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us !! ❤❤
I've been in love with the Palm Drive house for years. It's saved in my Zillow homes. Lol. When I come to Palm Springs, I always visit her. Larger than life, as in life! ❤️
Believe me I think it is despicable to buy a "historic" house just to destroy it. On a side note, please be aware that Dealy Plaza in Dallas, Tx is undergoing "re-construction". The "x" on the street marking where the limousine was at during first gunshot impact was removed a while back. Folks, some people are actively working to rewrite history.
@@Lily-wp8ol Mark Shaw who's written several books about the Kennedy assassination, Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Killgallen - and has triangulated their murders in a wonderful book - wants to reopen the murder of Dorothy Kilgallen. He's also been trying to stop the dissemination of the bogus "Oswald did it" theory, which has been absolutely disproven. He says that the Dallas Book Depository Kennedy Assassination Lectures continue to regurgitate the "Lee Harvey Oswald/"magic bullet" Theory" to school children. 🙄
Not surprised, LA destroyed everything.
Build back better 🤡
Would like to know what happened to her diary? Would truly believe she was murdered and not necessarily committed suicide. Yes, she struggled with depression and other issues as she was mentally fragile. She was such a beautiful woman who could sing, dance and act. If good can be found by dying so young, she will always remain beautiful. Am praying her home will be saved. She is a part of history and her home should be preserved. Thank you for sharing.
Im from UK our local pub in 15th century was going to be demolished the whole village campaigned to save it we won! Why would anyone in their right mind want to destroy such history and her home!! I wish I was rich I’d buy it and save it as it is!! Why do horrible people always have money!!🤬absolute scumbags!! Hope it’s saved!!!
It is truly amazing to me that there’s a house in LA that’s over 20 years old still standing. I don’t what’s in the water out there that makes people want to destroy beautiful homes to build soulless boxes.
It's called ignorance. Thank goodness Scott does not have any of that in his veins! They'll probably build some Taj Mahal looking box.
Well, California is known as the land of the crazies for a reason.
Greed!!!
I think most modern architecture is cold and sterile with no personality at all they don't even look like homes
Nonsense. There are many beautiful older homes still standing in the Westside.
Thank you, Scott. I sincerely appreciate your keeping up with this story. That house is part of American cultural history. I was outraged over the Kardashian disrespect for that iconic dress and the damage she caused, which Jordan highlighted when the dress was on display. It was an unbelievable disgrace. Our cultural history is being destroyed at a fast pace; Americans seem to not care, and greed often trumps cultural preservation. Years ago, I saw two videos on TH-cam about this house. One was a realtor’s open house tour when it was up for sale. The other was an earlier video with interior photos as well as architectural and interior design layout drawings. I love and value the work you do. It is more important than ever now. ❤️ marlene
If you want to demolish a house, don’t buy a historic home🤦🏼♀️ I really hope that her home stays protected!! And I wish ppl would stop destroying beauty🙏🏻💗
I really appreciate you posting this video ❤️
Marilyn was an icon, who was loved by all. Women wanted to be friends with her and men just wanted her. I can remember the day she died and it shocked the nation. Marilyn's life was tragic, but she did become a great actress and she could sing and dance. I don't believe she committed suicide, I believe she got confused as to what drugs she had already taken.
Keep the house intact.
There are those who believe that she was murdered by the Kennedys.
Let me assure you, it was no accidental overdose. I grew up in that area, we had a family friend who lived next door to her, and our neighbor was an old vaudevillian/actor (Floyd "Buster" Shaver) who knew her personally. He was hysterical when she was found dead and ran to our house holding the LA Times in his hand. I never saw him so upset. He told my father "Marilyn is dead! Those GD Kennedy's killed her. She knew too much!!" Everyone in Hollywood knew/knows that she was murdered. Huge coverup by the LAPD Chief at the time, William (Bill) Palmer - a very close friend of the Kennedys. Everyone knew what went down that weekend. Neighbors heard the altercation and EASILY IDENTIFIABLE BOSTON and ENGLISH ACCENTS. 😉
@@tiamia7139 Is that an excerpt from a book, or is that your own story? I'm asking because it sounds like something I read before.
I agree. There's too many conspiracy theories that just don't make logical sense. Occam's razor and all.
She died 4 months before I was born. My Dad was a Cop for only a few weeks. Don't know if he was at her house. Yes a sad story and yes she was murdered.
I can't believe how some people wants to demolish a house that once own by Marilyn Monroe house
it is freaking insane.
Their business
That house should be preserved and turned into a memorial museum for the most iconic woman who ever lived and graced this earth.
Thank you so much for making this video❤
Unimaginable that the new owners bought the house for it's prestige, yet want to place their mark on it by destroying all that it represents. It's a shameless display of disrespect to her and her fans.
Balls it is not disrespectful.to upgrade an old house
Pourquoi les fans ne l'ont-ils pas acheté cette maison même à plusieurs ? Maintenant les propriétaires font ce qu'ils veulent et ce n'est pas une maison extraordinaire
What's sad is young people are coming into Hollywood and demolishing historic homes and putting up ultra modern looking boxes, I call them. Looking at a place where an actor or musician lived is getting a glimpse into there personal style of living. Thank you Scott for sharing these updates with everyone.
Another fantastic video, Scott. You really know how to narrate your videos and I enjoy watching them. Thanks for sharing!
Ill say it again...where the hell is the estate of MM and why have they not purchased her home long ago...after all the $$$$ they made/still making on her likeness?????
This is a good point.
I understand you have the right to tear your own house down but did u really need to purchase Marilyn Monroe house just to tear down. Anyone would know that is going to cause an uproar.
It doesn't make any sense.
How terrible, thanks for sharing this with us
It is a real shame to see the older homes demolished. You will never see craftmanship (interior or exterior) like that anymore.
I cannot listen to this, it's so upsetting to me. Because it was Marilyn home and only for a few months at that. She is a Hollywood Icon,her home should be preserved. Just because of HER. America likes to bulldoze everything, and build some stupid house that nobody cares about, that will get bulldozed again when someone with the money buys it. Keep something of value for. Those we cherish. She has been dead over 60 yrs but it doesn't matter, it WAS her home and she died inside it. Please don't allow some billionaire to destroy it. PLEASE 😢 💔🌹
Hi Scott, this absolutely sickens me. When I was a young girl growing up in South Pasadena, we used to have our July 4th picnics at the home of an artist who lived next door to Marilyn. She was one of the four bridge players who were playing bridge the afternoon Lawford and RFK showed up at Marilyn's house. They heard everything and what they heard was quoted verbatim by former LAPD-OCID Detective Mike Rothmiller in his book, "The Night Bobby Kennedy Killed Marilyn Monroe" . He was there, he read her diary, and he was one of two people at LAPD who had the keys to the separate facility that contains the highly sensitive files on high-profile homicides for their Precinct. The other one was LAPD Chief Bill Palmer, a close friend of the Kennedys who was instrumental in the cover-up of what really happened at MM's house that weekend. I've noticed that they were tearing down that entire side of the street but I never thought that they would touch Marilyn's house considering how much the owners paid for it, and the fact that it should be a historical monument to the greatest female movie star who ever lived. When will this poor woman ever be shown the respect and love she deserves?
Thanks for sharing, very interesting.
Red that book, it was interesting to say the least.
@@deniseroe5891 It is the most accurate account I've ever read in my 73 years, and I think I have read just about every book written about Marilyn and her death. If she had just not threatened going to the press. THAT was the nail in her coffin. The Kennedy brothers were not going to have her destroy their political careers. It's such a shame as she was happier than she'd ever been about her future. She couldn't wait to make that house a home. She had just come back from a trip to Mexico with authentic Mexican furniture, lamps, tiles for the kitchen and bathroom. She didn't even get a chance to decorate it. Sad!
On a le respect et l'amour qu'on mérite mais Marilyn a trop usé son corps pour réussir alors le respect !!!!!!!
Damn, i wish i had the money, id make them an offer they cant refuse
they're ✡️ developers. they don't care about any history just personal selfish monetary gain.
Dearly departed tours thank you so much for doing this video
How do people fight City Hall to prevent something like Marilyn’s last house being torn down? I feel it’s almost hopeless to even try! ☹️☹️☹️ The house needs to be PRESERVED!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Never give up hope
I visited Marilyn’s grave last year and I was outraged that the pimp Hugh Hefner spends eternity next to her. But worse, the guy above her was entombed face down. In death, turning her into a joke for 8th grade boys, showing no respect. It should never have been allowed.
Amen
Yes, I have read this. Hefner deliberately wanted to be entombed near marilyn.
It's just a resting place for him get a grip man he is dead
Disgusting. Actually shocking.
@@jeremybaker7963I’m less offended by his presence than the guy in the crypt above her. He’s still a pimp. And a deeply weird dude.
Regardless of what happened there that is a truly beautiful home, and it would be a crime against it for that reason
La maison n'est pas magnifique, ma maison est bien plus belle. Seul l'endroit est intéressant car c'est au bout d'une impasse.
JUST THINK HOW YOUNG SHE WAS , A HOLLYWOOD ICON , HER AND JEAN HARLOW LEFT WAY TOO SOON , VERY SAD TO ME 😢💔🥀🙏
Thank you Scott! I was just reading up on this story yesterday while my father was playing the slot machine's at our local casino & by chance I see you're piece on it today which is great because you filled in a lot that was left to my imagination so thank you again sir & have a great day, take care.
I feel home's like hers should be put on some kind of historic registry or something of that nature so they are protected from being destroyed like that.
Even after knowing about the cemetery for years, your words about how she was what drew so many famous people there after her really hit home. One can imagine that a lot of the male stars wanted to be buried near her, besides Hefner, of course.
Thank you Scott. 7:00, showing the white walls there, it is now as of this writing smoothed over. You cannot see the actual bricks now in the wall. I am a member of Marilyn
Remembered Fan Club for quite some time. I work on weekends, so it prevents me to attend many of their events. I truly hope Los Angeles CAN find it of historical value
for cultural significance. The owners say there is no evidence of Marilyn even have lived at the address. I beg to differ. There are tiles in front of the door that she put there
herself. Cursum Perficio. Those have been there since she owned it. The owners by suing the City of L.A. hope to stop the vote to make it a cultural significant site worthy.
Thank you for posting this x
We will forever love and miss you Marilyn ❤
How devastating for us fans should the house be demolished. 😢
Always removing our history. Breaks my heart when they tear everything down/erasing everything. All those beautiful mansions on 5th Avenue, the Vanderbilts, Astors, gorgeous creations, all gone. Sad
Scott I adore you for your great work! Thank you!
Why? Is America always eager to tear down. Anything that has some historical significance. You look at the UK. And they really value their historical buildings. The owner has every right. To do whatever he wants with the house. If it was a regular house That being said. It belonged to one of the most iconic figures. In pop culture. Tearing it down would be an historic injustice. Besides it's a beautiful home. Thanks! For the update.Well done!🏡😢
What a great vlog. I was transported back to a Dearly Departed Van listening to the most knowledgeable, charismatic and fun Guide in LA.
Thanks Scott for taking us on a great tour. Then and now. Hi Troy.
Her house should be protected and saved for fans to visit
The goal is to destroy history.
Pourquoi ne l'avez-vous pas achetée même avec plusieurs personnes ?
This was wonderful thankyou
Loved seeing the drive to her house
The narrow roads and the houses around the area. Everything ❤
I really wish they would move Marilyn's body to another location at this cemetery. I'm sickened that she's buried next to Heffner and that guy above her who insisted to be buried upside down. Can we not let her rest in peace without being sexually harassed? I just love your channel btw, I've learned more about classic Hollywood here than any other channel. You are very respectful no matter what the topic is or who you interview.
Hugh Hefner bought it from Madonna in 1992. So, he had it ever since then. Yeah, he used Marilyn's early nude calendar image to launch
his famed magazine. He bought the rights to the image to be reproduced. I cannot judge Mr. Hefner for what he did and all of that, so it's not up to me.
I agree about leaving her alone after death and the guy who gad to buried facing down probably isn't at rest.🙏✌️❤️
@@SD-nh5yr I noticed his last name is the same as the woman (Elizabeth) on the left.
I wonder if that is his wife?
They should move Hugh Hefner & the weird sicko guy above her.
The guy above her was turn the right side up. And his wife is buried next to him
Just hoping they can save it!!!
I think you should buy it Scott!!! You'd definitely give it the love, respect & dedication it truly deserves. Even better yet, what a cool place it wouĺd be to use it to display all your Dearly Departed collections!!❤Probably an impossibility due to zoning, etc, but definitely a cool idea to imagine coming into fruition nonetheless.
Thank you again for taking us along with you on another amazing adventure!!! You're one of the rare few YT channels that I can hit the "like" button even before watching the video because I already know its going to be awesome!!❤
Thanks again Scott, excellent video!
Why don't they move it? I live in Portland Oregon and two historic houses were moved. The historical society paid $1 for them, and they paid for the dismantling and rebuilding.
Hope this house is saved.
You did a great job with information and locations.
Thanxx Scott for the update it breaks my heart
