A New York businessman has paid US$1.5 million for a 15-minute black-and-white film of Marilyn Monroe performing oral sex on an unidentified man. The man’s face is never seen on camera (but some believe it may be John F. Kennedy) and Monroe is fully clothed during the entire film.
Her former husband, Joe DiMaggio, once offered $25,000 for the film but the owner — an FBI informant — wouldn’t part with it. Memorabilia collector Keya Morgan found out about the film from a former FBI agent while working on a documentary about Monroe. Morgan confirmed it by tracking down the son of the informant. He says of the buyer: “The gentleman who bought it said out of respect for Marilyn he’s not going to make a joke of it and put it on the internet and try to exploit her. That’s not his intention and I would never get my name involved if that were to happen.”
move over Paris Hilton and Pam Anderson, Marilyn beat you by 40 years
I bet it was Kennedy. An FBI informant had it and Hoover was watching him closely, wire taps etc.
Hoover was a noted perv, so he probably viewed more than once.
I hope the new owner keeps to his word and doesn’t release it. She’s one of the few who deserves to rest in peace; having already been raked through the mud enough.
Once a celeb always a celeb. There seems to be no peace for these poor people in life or death. We should all be ashamed of ourselves.
we didn’t make the tape.
she did.
if you don’t want a sex tape to be released, don’t make one in the first place.
Totally agree with Terry. We’re adults and if we dont want people to see us in our most intimate moments then close the door and turn off the lights!
so true, you don’t want your worst nightmares to come true, don’t give other people the ammunition to come back at you later.
there must have been a seperate camera man, I can’t imagine a small hand held camcorder back in those days
Hey maybe it was Hoover getting hoovered!
If he really doesn’t want to exploit her he should destroy the tape. But he’s probably watching it himself & pretending it is him getting hoovered!
This story is filled with half truths or just honest mistakes…The tape is supportable true but the tape was never sold at auction… It is well known it was sold to a private collector.
The purchaser wanted that it would never be used and seen by perverts on the Web and porn sites. I’m satisfied knowing who he is and his understanding of Marylyn’s memory will never let this be seen by anyone again. I’m assuming that it will be destroyed if it has not already.
