A legal battle has erupted over the fate of Marilyn Monroe's former Brentwood home, with its current owners, heiress Brinah Milstein and her husband, reality TV producer Roy Bank, suing the city of Los Angeles. The couple seeks to demolish the property, which they own, to prevent it from being designated as a historical landmark by the city's Cultural Heritage Commission. This designation, recommended in January, would block any demolition plans. The house is culturally significant as it was the last residence of Monroe, who died there in 1962. The owners argue that the house lacks physical evidence of Monroe's presence, citing the absence of any original furniture or features from her time, including furniture, paint, or carpet.
