If you don't want the attention of living in an icon's house, then buy a different house! LA needs to preserve its historic landmarks!
Exactly!
Monroe had no children/ family that might have prevented this. Sigh. 😢
Liz Taylor's last house, and her belongings, had a much different outcome. Why? Because her children and grandchildren adored her. Her jewelry was auctioned off. And her house was sold. Everything was probably planned by her. And family carried out her final wishes.
The City just needs to buy it and make it a museum.
It's already been bought
I think this would be an amazing idea! But the issue would be the refusal to sale.. 😢
They knew that house was a landmark property when they bought it. They need to move to an area that suits them better.
Rich people care? 😂😂😂😂
I completely agree!
AMEN! Text book NIMBY
@@chestyvulvathat‘s not funny
nice looking place
who cares that MM owned it
The owner owns it - level the place
That home should be (and is) a historical landmark. Demolishing it is an act of disgrace and disrespect to Marilyn's memory
Who?
@@kikio-rq9kx you know who
Exactly why not turn it into a museum? Why demolish the most famous movie star ever legacy???
@@caramelbilqueesshe sleeped around with presidents not much of a movie star
A disrispect to History!
If they feel the "tourist attraction is a nuisance to the neighborhood" then why did they buy a tourist attraction?? This is just dumb. Of all the houses they could have bought and razed, this is not the right one. Save Marilyn's only home!
They bought it so they could tear it down. It’s not complicated
They bought it because they already live next door and want yard space. I think they should move if they have all that money.
@@keithss67 No one said it was complicated, just abhorrent.
@@jh748 there’s a reason it’s called the real estate business. If the city wanted to landmark the house, they had decades to do it 🤷♂️
I vote Level The Place
They need to move. They knew it was Marilyn’s house when they bought it.
So why did the new property owners buy the house when they KNEW it's a popular spot and they don't like the attention??
If they didn't want the history of this iconic Marilyn house, they should have bought another property.
What evil people. They buy that amazing house and now want to tear it down? Disgusting.
There is a petition on Change to save Marilyn Monroe's house. Please go there and sign it. Let's try to stop this demolition.
It's disgustingly selfish to knowingly purchase something that is renowned by millions only to destroy it. This is not the only home on the west side side that could have been purchased for rejunification.
What was not mentioned in this story, is that the people that bought Marilyn's house also purchased the adjacent property where they built a massive house, they purchased MM's house for the sole purpose of destroying it to expand their back yard. Ridiculous lack of respect!
@@warrioroflight3813Wow 🤦♀️
Absolutely shameful of that new owner.
So then the city should offer cash for it if they care so much.
The city does not want that house. The city actually gave a permit to have the house demolished until Marilyn fans got involved. The city would love to have the house torn down and a bigger house built because that would mean more taxes for city government.
The only reason any place should be torn down is because it is uninhabitable due to mold, mildew, etc. Tearing it down because of it being a tourist attraction is certainly not a good reason, if the people living in or around it dont like it, they can move away. Their sense of entitlement is astounding.
I have to wonder their age and if they really understand the significance of the home and the iconic woman who lived... and died there.
If they demolished Pickfair, nothing is safe.
It had termites and mold, they had to. But they built it back almost the same floor plan
Can you even imagine a celebrity living in a beautifully modest home like that, today? Heck, Dean Martin’s Palm Desert home is also modest and lovely, and abandoned.
Steady disrespecting Marilyn Monroe even in her after life. May She Rest in Heaven Beautiful Soul 🕊️💋✨
A hot dog stand is a city landmark, but Marilyn’s home? Demolish or move it. Really unfathomable.
Come on, they knew the house was an attraction when they bought and I'm sure that probably influenced their purchase of it. Now they want to raze it?... It's a charming house.
They bought it specifically to raise it and expand their property next door. Billionaire heiress is used to getting what she wants with no regard to anything let alone Hollywood history😢
It really means nothing if it’s not left on the property where she lived
They knew it was a tourist attraction when they bought it. Now they're going to act precious? Even if they move the house, the address and property will still draw fans.
Wish i couldve bought her home 😢
Give me 18 million and I will just keep your money.
Leave it standing where it is
I hope it will be protected.
Beautiful home: beautiful woman ❤
This is stupid. Of course the home should stay.
Why dont they just move?
We can't even tour the home...
Its like the house from breaking bad...
It's not like we're going to demolish graceland...
Save the legacy for future generations to come… Move her home!!
How sad! some idiot bought it, and is now suddenly bothered that tourists want to see where the icon lived! they will no doubt put something ugly up in its place, just like themselves.
Something modern and ugly, no doubt.
They will build another modern barn with white stucco and a black metal roof.
I cannot believe the owners could be so uncaring about Marilyn’s home!
Yes that is the best way to sum it up. It’s cruel.
Look at those fences and walls outside the properties to prevent unwanted people in. What a concept.
That's messed up, her house is lovely.
This is sad to hear. I really hope it can be saved. 🤞
Marilyn’s home is beautiful. The grass is so green and the flowers are pretty.
It’s wild this is even being considered. You can’t destroy history like that; especially when it’s a landmark.
I walked on that street on her birthday a few years back. It was so quiet. I was so impressed at how well she took care of herself. I hope they don't tear it down. She would be so sad!!
Why did those people buy THAT house? There are plenty out there. It IS a historic sight. Moving it to national park property might be the best answer.
All buildings are temporary. RIP, young lady...❤
Moving it is a great idea. Let the actual OWNER of the property do as they wish. City does not own it. Unless they paid for the loan…..
Exactly!
This cannot happen, Marilyn’s home is beautiful! Those ppl should have moved or considered where they were moving too before hand.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
It should be saved. You knew what you were getting into when you bought it.
Why buy a house that you know draws attention if you don't like the attention? They should move, not the house.
DEFINITELY SAVE THE LANDMARKS ,,
the current owners knew whose house it once was owned by, before they purchased it - and that it was a tourist attraction (because that did not just begin) // and I’m sure that its once belonging to Marilyn Monroe was part of the enticement to purchase it
//
as for pink’s .. before it even became a business inside a (it’s existing) physical structure ,, it was simply a cart selling hot dogs on that corner … until the owners decided to go to the bank across the street and obtain a $5k (I think, although the amount may be incorrect) loan for what is now a city land square
This should not be allowed!!! And anyone wanting to tear it down is psychotic
It!s a beautiful home. Maybe someone can buy the owner out.
Must be nice to have that kind of money that you could just demolish a beautiful home like that.
Billionaire heiress Brinah Milstein lives in the house next door. She bought Monroe's home specifically for the purpose of tearing it down and expanding her property. She has already removed the wall, trees, and other landscaping between the two homes. Hopefully this answers some questions and shows how absolutely awful these "reporters" are.
Why did they buy it if they were going to be annoyed with it being a landmark, so stupid
We Love Marilyn Monroe from Iran 🇮🇷❤️🇺🇸
that house will still be gone in several hundred years.
Not if preserved properly.
@@jh748 doubtful.. It's not a solid structure.
Theres already alot of reasons not to visit LA but at the rate they are going there will be absolutely no reason to go there anymore.
Merlyns house must stand, it can’t be moved, too much historical value to that property; it would be like removing the HOLLYWOOD sign and placing it somewhere where else‼️👎🏻
If they want to tear it down, then the owners should have no problem if the city wants to move the house to another location. Then they can build whatever (probably generic, charm-free) house they want.
If the house does get knocked down and a new house rebuilt, what happens if the new owners move in and then decide to sell up and move away? Marilyn's house would be torn down for nothing.
These are the type of homeowners in this city that I can't stand. Thank god for the owners of the original Halloween house; they will put out pumpkins for you to recreate one of the famous scenes that Jamie Curtis did.
Needs to have historical protection right now. She lived and died in that home. Billions of others homes on this planet… owners are beyond stupid.
Noooo😢
why doesn't someone remove the home and put it somewhere else
Please save her home and honour to her memory make it a museum.
maybe Bobby Kennedy Jr. should buy it since his father spent so much time there and he was one of the last visitors to see her the night she died not to mention all the wiretapping that was placed throughout the house to spy on her.
Please save Marilyn's home ❤❤❤
It is shocking that her home was not transformed into a Museum like Graceland. My GOD such an Icon and no one knows how to preserve this. Marilyn should haunt the present owners. What a shame.
If you get rid of these golden era landmarks in people's memories the soul of Hollywood will disappear. There are no true Stars anymore. Keep the History.
That is why we have museums a house takes up a lot of release. I think they should just preserve items from the house that could have belonged to her in a museum.
Make them put a statue of her there
Man I wish I could live there! If i had the money I’d be happy there!
Graceland, and different Homes of Famous people should be Historic Landmarks.
Marilyn Monroe is an important part of Americana. Her beloved home should reflect that by being protected as an historic landmark.
I don't understand why they have to preserve the house. Can't they just put a bunch of Marylin's things that are still in there in a museum?
Why don’t celebrities, politicians and fans all come together and raise money a fundraiser or donation for her new location?
Another one contributing to wipe out the (almost the last) memory of the legacy of Hollywood.
Unbelievable 👎
no worries...these new owners are now embarrased to hell after this story. Am sure they're reading these comments.
Here’s the thing, they move it and next thing you know it’s in pa, so Hollywood loses it completely because they don’t think “this person might move her house like they did the London bridge” smh leave it exactly where it’s at!
It’s so charming. I never heard about it being haunted ,so leave it. It’s about money,right . The owners didn’t need to buy it, they knew what they were getting, they just want to make more money. Probably put up some monster mansion, devoid of charm.
Absolutely nothing is sacred in LA.
The city needs to issue a buyback before it’s too late
I thought one of the considerations to have a structure declared a Historical Landmark, is if a US President visited there.
It’s a shame you can’t do what you want with your home..
They may have purchased the property, but it's still Marilyn's house. Ironic....
Today is June 1st 2024 Marilyn s 98 birthday June 1st 1926 Happy birthday Marilyn I love you
As much as many people might hate it, the owners OWN the property, and they alone should get to decide what happens to it...period.
How about buy them out? Would they be able to move it without ending up destroying it? Ya, I think they need to be bought out. If they already want to destroy it anyway, then they clearly don't want it to live in, buy land someplace else & leave this house to someone who will appreciate it's history.
The owners should turn the home to an Airbnb. So many people would love to spend the night in the home that she lived in, including myself! It would definitely be lucrative for them.
I've visited the property several times. It's much too nice for an Airbnb. They may as well go ahead and tear it down instead of letting strangers trash it.
eventually, mother nature will decide
SAVE IT! You bought the house, you know what you are getting into!!!
And yet I can’t even afford a house…..
Should have never sold it to non fans! So many fans would cherish that home. I’m surprised Mariah Carey hasn’t tried. Didn’t they think they’d be bothered living at MM’s house?! How could you want to tear down such a link to the past?
🙏
Poor reporting here. Complete omission of the fact that little of Monroe’s actual house remains, given it has been renovated many times over the last 60 years.
SAVE MARILYN’S HOUSE 😢
I don’t understand: when she was alive, no one did anything to help her. However, she has been died for over 60 years and people are so fascinated.
You're wrong. Joe Dimaggio was always there for her. He tried to protect her, to help her. He could only help as much as she would allow. She was playing with fire and as a result her life was ended. After her tragic death, Mr. Dimaggio came forward and claimed her body. He arranged her funeral with respect and dignity. For years he had roses placed at her gravesite. It's true she had little family, but she did have someone. We, her fans, are fascinated because she was the most beautiful woman ever, most iconic actress. Also, because of the mystery surrounding her death. We want the truth and we want her name cleared. She did not commit suicide and everyone knows it.
@@anonymous78546 He was. He was jealous also.
@@schawnettarobinson8584 Yes, he was jealous at the time of their marriage. But he knew he was wrong and tried to change. Their plans to remarry were cut short by her untimely death.
@@anonymous78546 Sometimes, it is too late. He was so jealous. Supposedly, he beat her. He had rage. Imagine if they were cameras in those days. People aren’t helpful at the time of crisis. It was guilt.
@@schawnettarobinson8584 There were cameras at the time. I'm sure that he did have guilt, but he did love her very much. And, he isn't here to defend himself.
I don't buy it for a second. They knew what they were getting into. They want to build a McMansion and it's the city's responsibility to prevent it. MM's memory isn't the only reason to preserve this home. It's a beauty, old CA architecture, and people have plenty of new models to choose from, so move. Leave old architecture alone!
The only value in the property is the placard in Latin, ( My journey ends here), historically speaking. Other than that it’s just another piece of land. She only lived there 6 months! Does not merit preservation, just a sad reminder she was finally after years of hard work, able to own her own home. Demolish it and preserve the placard in the front door. ❤❤
(Cursum Perficio)
Leave where it is leave it alone
Instead of demolishing it, the owner should be allowed to *donate* the structure to the city. The city can relocate the house at the taxpayer's expense. It's a win/win.
The property would lose so much of it's mystique if it were relocated. It just wouldn't work.
Okay but it is also ridiculous to save people's houses after they die, just because you think the owner was beautiful or famous
It's called idolizing
There are certain people like her or Elvis or Michael that reach beyond the normal level of fame and become icons. And yes everything attached to them should be saved.
Did Pink’s sponsor this video? What did it have anything to do with the Marilyn Monroe house.
- Bad journalism
Let them put something nice in there.
The current owner should have the right to flatten his own property if he desires.
You have missed the entire point of this story.
