Marilyn Monroe Home Gets LA Historic Status – Owners Are Suing
The city of Los Angeles has declared Marilyn Monroe's former home in LA's Brentwood neighborhood a historic monument, which protects the property from any significant changes. The home's current owners bought the property in 2023 for $8 million with plans to demolish it. They are suing the city, claiming that the home is now worthless. Marilyn bought the home in 1962 for $75,000 and died there in August 1962 from a barbiturate overdose.

Pink is moving to New York from California so her daughter can study theater and be close to Broadway.

Built sometime in the 1920s, the 11-bedroom home with 18,535 square feet on 2.4 acres is located in the wealthy San Francisco suburb of Hillsborough. It was still the residence of Bing's widow, Kathryn Crosby, until she died in 2024. Bing died in 1977 after a round of golf. 

Jean Harlow's 1930s Mansion With Secret Bar

The Holmby Hills mansion built for her around 1932 is for sale at $16.8 million, and it retains much of the Harlow features, including a secret Prohibition-era bar hidden behind a bookcase door. Harlow was still living at the home when she died in 1937 from kidney failure.
