Marilyn Monroe's L.A. home saved from demolition, for now

- A Brentwood home once occupied by movie star Marilyn Monroe has been temporarily saved from demolition as the Los Angeles City Council passed a motion on Friday to designate it a historic site.
The motion, introduced by Councilwoman Traci Park, recommends that the city's Cultural Heritage Commission or the director of planning review the 2,900-square-foot Spanish colonial-style home to determine if can be listed among the city’s historic cultural monuments.
“It is imperative that the City’s historic-cultural treasures be celebrated, and foremost, that its historical sites be preserved for future generations. As such, the historic-cultural merits of this property need to be assessed,” the motion reads.

So many historical homes have been lost to developers. It is really
a shame.
They can at least sell it to Kim Kardashian. Jeezz
@@SundayBlues555 Um, hell no.
Kim deliberately disobeyed Norma's Last Wish by wearing the specially made, specially tailored dress that Norma wore to sing Happy Birthday to John F. Kennedy and Norma specifically said that no one else was to wear that dress if she were to die. But years later Kim the narcissist disobeyed that last wish, and stretched the fabric and ruined the dress for the rest of time because she wanted to be a selfish fame-seeking little brat.
And yes, I am calling her Norma because that was her name... not Marilyn. Marilyn was only her stage name and nothing more.
Norma was an orphan, going from foster home to foster home and she had little that was personally her own, and that dress was one of those items that was tailored and made specifically for her to wear that one time.
Kim would ruin Norma's last house as well, if given the chance.

Signed a petition to save this home, Marilyn Monroe was an intelligent and beautiful woman. I’m so happy to see her home be saved from demolition.
clue el Intel que
Intelligent, physically beautiful, compassionate and complex.
Me too
None of you own it you should not have a say….
That’s a beautiful house. I love old Spanish architecture .
u can make a 2 story house there
💛
@@theDrzhivargo I feel this house should be kept as a single story, it reminds everyone of a simpler time where everyone didn't need big multiple-story houses.
Thank you LA City council and Thank you Traci Park. This house and our memories is all we have left of Marilyn.
They should consider making it a museum-many people would go in LA to a Marilyn Monroe museum.

I agree she loved to read 📚 books and help these future generations to read books too 😊
I can't even believe they are considering tearing it down. It was the first, last, and ONLY home she ever had! It should be turned into a museum. Do you have any idea how much they'd make????
Yep, even selling it to Kim Kardashian would even be a better choice!
@@SundayBlues555 No.

Even if it were not once owned by Marilyn, the house should never be torn down. The exterior of that house is absolutely gorgeous. So many homes in L.A. torn down for greedy developers and greedy city hall. This would never happen in Santa Barbara.
drug overdose .....hum, hum , hum .......
I agree, this home is gorgeous & yes developers are greedy (not just in Los Angeles).
I am not sure I understand the point/reason/need for "This would never happen in Santa Barbara."
Is it meant to create/inforce an "Us vs. Them" "We're better than THOSE people" mentality?
Which to be honest we do not need more of in this world.
@@michelgouverneur885 You're reply don't make sense to the OP's comment. Adhd or bot?
@@cheleshows I also don't understand their "never happen in SB" comment either. It came off as quite snobbish but that's just me. Reminds me of when Santa Barbara went to war with the rest of the 805 area code cities. The area was running out of numbers and SB felt they shouldn't have to add another area code to the mix, everyone else should have to do so. They wanted 805 just for themselves, luckily, they lost. SB county is also home to Montecito, the town where the "disgraced British royals" currently reside.
@@stiixgirl6148They don't seem disgraced to me. They're living their lives. But, you sound absolutely miserable.
Save the house ! She lived a short life but is still a huge part of American Culture.
Or they can sell it to Kim Kardashian and have some extra coins in their pockets.😂
I was in tears when I heard what they were planning ❤ she's so iconic and beautiful and a wonderful warm hearted lady ♥️ nobody should destroy her home ❤❤
Also how's loads of her clothes being sold on ebay from her stylist who passed away why aren't thes in a museum. Taking around the world 🌎 keep Marilyn respected and sacred.
Ikr I hope it doesn't get taken down, like she's been mistreated enough.
...part of World Culture.
Name and shame the people who wanted to destroy this iconic house .!!!
😂😂😂 “iconic “
@smauglord8117 yes !!! As in this house belonged to an icon
iconic means historic house @@smauglord8117
well done!!! so glad it was saved!!💛🌹
Yay for the LA City Council!!!
Agree with others, whether it was Marilyn Monroe's or not, it is a beautiful property; why tear it down to make way for something new. Also, I love that she styled herself up like Marilyn.

Declare it historical please! It's beautiful make it a museum something ❤
Its behind a high privacy wall. It can’t be seen from the road.
@@bngr_bngrdoesn’t matter it still can be made into a museum
They’re going to make it a historical sight. It would be amazing to tour.
She also had a house on Catalina Island that is protected
@@steadyground2759 I doubt there is anything inside from 1962 when they whacked her.
It's 2,900 square feet. That's not enough footage for the wealthy. They want 29,000 square feet at the minimum.
Demolition would not only remove a physical memory of Marilyn Monroe but also a potential crime scene... One day those secrets with Jack and Bobby will come out.
She didn't die at the home, she died at Roosevelt Hotel. Her ghost still haunts the hotel, there's been multiple reports over the years of spotting her in the reflection of her favorite mirror which actually used to be in the room she died in, but too many hotel guests were getting spooked by seeing her in the mirror in the middle of the night so the hotel staff moved the mirror out into one of the hallways.
@@quietreader4190 That is true, first time I went to LA I heard some banging sounds on the "room next door" and actually there was no room next door (there wasn't even a door) to the direction where I heard the banging and it was at night, just a wall. Had to change to another hotel in Santa Monica, because it was very creepy.
Thank God please make this a Museum instead Ive always wanted to go see it in person im a huge fan of Marlyin Monroe since I was 5❤
Why are they even wanting yo demolish her house in particular? 🤔
Thank you .. I don’t understand the means to demolish it.. that’s bizzare..
My God, PLEASE KEEP THE FIGHT GOING IN THIS DIRECTION!!!
Marilyn's home MUST be heritage listed - no other logical decision exists!!
I live in a historical home off of Orange near Hollywood blvd. I could never imagine tearing this place down or changing it in the least.
Did someone famous live where you do? You don’t have to say who.
That’s awesome! The upkeep can be somewhat more considering you have to preserve it but I’m glad people are up to the task. I hope I can buy up one of the old storybook style homes that are out there, one day. For now, I’m turning mine into one :)

Who formed the trust that owns it? Out of curiosity, I want to see who planned to destroy the late Marilyn's former home.

Thank god, YES please declare 12305 5th Helena Dr. as an historically important property!
It was tagged to be demolished, and then the next day or two the city Council works to change that. Wish they worked this fast to do everything else and not something irrelevant to every day life.
interesting, isn't it? You can't get Cdn. Parliament up here to pass anything in four years, and yet the Security Act when planes hit those two buildings in ANOTHER country was passed in FOUR days. And used for anything that bothers the Feds.!!
THAT IS WOUNDERFUL NEWS THANK GOD🙏💯🥀💃
Who's God
It should definitely have historical landmark status.
Good

Bad! The home will be demolished; it does NOT deserve a place in history!
Demolishing it would be a total Gen Z "who's Marilyn Monroe? Never heard of her; let's turn it into an Air BnB." move.
What a stupid comment. Lots of people from Gen Z knows who Marilyn Monroe was. Just be quiet boomer
Brilliant news . Cometh the hour cometh the woman - Traci Park well done to you and your team .

i love Marilyn and I love old homes and I love LA history, but I certainly would expect LA to pay the current owners full price for the house. The housing lots in LA are worth way more than the old out of date homes that stand upon them. that's prob why the owner(s) were planning to tear down a 94yo structure, no matter what famous person lived there.

I love her home she was wonderful
MARILYN WILL LIVE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS ❤️
This is great news! I signed the petition & had my friends sign it too.
Marilyn and her home are Hollywood. Thank God it won't be torn down. Never will there be another like Marilyn.
crazy how they developers have zero care for such things. could you imagine being that money hungry ? Takes a special kind of jerk.
The trust can and should sue for damages. If the town wants to preserve the property they should buy it at fair market value.
The home is so lovely by the looks of it I wish it was an Airbnb
I went to her grave when I was 16. There were lipstick kisses all over it, and a hand written note from her housekeeper on the stone itself and it smelled like Chanel number 5. Flooded with flowers. The mausoleum is about medium height in the wall at Brentwood cemetary and Buddy Rich is buried right by her
I hope to see her home one day, thank god they are not destroying it. Can't they leave anything alone? Marilyn was an icon and should be remembered and her home ❤❤❤
Great, Thank you Council
Huge kudos to Traci Park, the LA city council, and the many like minded folks who initiated and/or rallied behind the continuing efforts to save this architectural and historical treasure. Hopefully, this place will become a fully protected, enduring testament to the legacy of the intelligent, gifted, driven, iconic beauty who called it home and made it her own. Rest in peace, Ms. Norma Jeane... you are forever in our hearts, and you will never be forgotten.
It's a wonder the tour buses that are all along Hollywood Blvd don't go to an actual residence they KNOW is a cultural landmark instead of spouting this nonsense they don't know is true when you pay to go through the hills they always go through. I think it would be great to see this house close up. There are many houses in Los Angeles that offer architectural tours and this should be one of them. Plenty of Brentwood monstrosities. Give whoever their money back and let the city enjoy something meaningful about itself. SMH, we might as well tear the Hollywood sign down!
It would be good if we made it a living treasure. Marilyn Monroe was a trail blazer and she made a lot of changes in the way Hollywood was treating females in the industry. She stood up for the underdogs in Hollywood and she made it quiet clear that she didn’t like the way that Hollywood treated female actresses. She was a beautiful person both inside and out. I think we owe it to her and so dose Hollywood to honour her good name by keeping her house and preserving it for generations to come. Let’s not forget her like so many people did when she was a vibrant beautiful young woman. 🥰
Built in 1929, worth about $8 million, the new owners want it demolished.
Marilyn ⚘ only lived there months before she died. 😔 Such a sad ending.
It's the property value in Brentwood, The owners would build a new house there and ask 30mil or more citing "The [property] once belonged to a Hollywood icon" as a tag. People in the market for homes in that area nowdays probably had parents who weren't born for at least a decade after she passed. The younger generation today wouldn't have the same appreciation for Marilyn Monroe as they would have for someone like Heath Ledger or even Jimmy Buffett. Luckily there are people still around who do appreciate Marilyn Monroe's legacy but I gotta tell ya, Its a dying breed.
@@Al_Catraz6917 that'sfor sure!
Few youngsters have heard of the classic "Margaritaville" released in 1977. 😊

The new owners probably afraid Marilyn's house will depreciate in value like the Brady house did even though the third owners had that hallmark living room staircase installed
@@Fa_Q2483 I remember when HGTV was renovating the Brady Bunch house...Asking $5.5 million and after months on the market,, sold for $3.2 million to a fan that has no intention of living there.
The renovated inside is very 1970's and maybe not to everyone's liking...orange kitchen countertops.😖
The city council should have designated this home a historical site a long time ago. The house is gorgeous. Why would anyone want to tear that house down? The home has beautiful craftsmanship.
Who would want to be known, as the Person that demolished Marilyn Monroe's Home? I Wouldn't
Absolutely To Be SAVED!
🌈❤️🙏
Sholdd be turned into a museum!
'MYSTERIOUS FIRE' IS WHAT 'DEVELOPERS' USE TO GET THEIR WAY!!!
Marilyn Monroe put so much work into the home. It would be great to see it become a museum and restore to the way it was when she lived there. Over the years so much beauty was destroyed. I'm so glad to see that the house was spared from demolition
So glad the city council is stepping in there are many historically signifigant houses that have been razed to make room for monstrosities with no character.
Thank you for saving her home
Make it a museum and bring all her memorabilia to this house… 🫶
Like Elvis Presley´s Graceland
How could anyone ever demolish this home?!
❤ a museum pictures of her please
signed and sent to other friends and relatives I am so relieved it has been halted Iwas in this home several times when I lived in LA and even was gifted to enter it one day I stopped by and the home was open for sale I still havethe analogue photos of it ❤
The city council is concerned about all the wrong things. The city council should be concerned about all the crime and homelessness in Los Angeles.
Thank goodness Marilyn's home is legends history, should be declared as historic soo happy I guess her angel above helped out as well as all of the beloved fans a legend, icon never dies rip marilyn monroe, there will never be anyone like you, everybody deserves to twinkle ❤ ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

I so hope it's still standing as is!! Come on....save LA's heritage!!!!!
Yes!!!❤❤❤
The only reason they are doing this is because they do not want housing projects in their neighborhood. They want them in yours.
it should be a museum like Elvis mansion
Leave it alone!! It is the Graceland to Marilyn fans!!
💯 percent 💯 percent 💯
Is it going to be open to the public ?
Save her home....following from WV.👍💕
Why on earth would anyone demolish this stunning home!
💛
I agree leave it alone don’t let anyone else where her dress she wore to sing happy birthday either put the house as a museum
The valley has lost so many of these stunning homes to
condos or apartments. Progress is one thing however greed has no vision.
Government Officials nor the developer cared...
concerned citizens saved the home.
The state can restore it and then offer tours. I’d like to learn the history in the room where it happened.
To feel how it feels to be where Marilyn Monroe lived her life.
She deserves to be remembered as a woman who inspires greatness.
I love her in her role as Sugar in the movie Some Like It Hot 🩷
The kind of waffle deal LA is known for
the irony about this
Yes 👍🏻
What the hell !!! Why demolish this home ? Is there any evidence that she was monitored ? Please don't let do that...
Excellent! This home is truly historical!!! Like, we are not even American and could never fathom thinking of demolishing such a historical monument as Marilyn Monroe’s home! Like, the owners need to slap themselves. What kind of prescriptions are they on?!!!. Seroisly, Doctors need involved here
