A Tribute to Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe has become a mythical figure. So many books have been written about her, so many stories constructed about her, that she seems more like a made up character than a real person. But she was a genuine star. She may even be Hollywood's last great and legendary star. The facts of her tragic, scandal ridden and ultimately doomed personal life have fascinated generations of fans but we invite you to go beyond the mythology, to simply watch and enjoy her movies as she would have wanted. We predict that if you look beyond her glamorous persona and scintillating charm you'll find a talented actress who's subtle acting style seem to have never been fully appreciated. Let yourself by captivated by her unique magic in Destination Hollywood's Tribute to Marilyn Monroe.

What's New

Marilyn Monroe continues to fascinate and continues to make news headlines. This time the news is that a collection of her photographs set a record sales price at Christies Auction. The Collection sold for $802,250. They included the famous premier issue of Playboy nude photo and a group of pictures called The Last Sitting which were the last professional photos taken of Marilyn Monroe before her death. You can go to the catalog on the auction site and see the pictures and the prices they fetched.

You could have owned this photograph if only you had bid $56,251.00 outbidding the winning bid of $56,250.

It probably will never end.. Those photographs were apparently the last professional photos taken of Marilyn Monroe before her death but now there is news that 6 personal casual pictures taken of Marilyn Monroe by musician Buddy Greco five days before she died are being auctioned on Ebay. You can see the pictures here. Apparently there were more pictures taken that day in Lake Tahoe ( Frank Sinatra was there too) but most of them were put in a safe in the World Trade Center and were destroyed on September 11.
