The Los Angeles City Council has unanimously voted on Wednesday, June 26, to designate Marilyn Monroe's former home in Brentwood as a historic cultural monument, preventing its demolition. This decision concludes a prolonged effort to save the Spanish Colonial-style house where Monroe lived and died in 1962. The vote was delayed previously to address concerns from property owners and neighborhood residents. The home, valued at $8.3 million, faced demolition attempts by a real estate heiress and her TV producer husband. The designation aims to preserve the landmark, which holds significant cultural and historical value, particularly related to Monroe's life and legacy.
"Some of the most world-famous images ever taken of her were in that home, on those grounds and near her pool. Marilyn tragically died there — forever ties her in time and place to this very home," Ms. Park said. https://t.co/GFGVovfMgf
