Marilyn, Inside & Out

Julien Auction House will be putting on a public auction, on the 26th and 27th of June in the Casino Planet Hollywood of Las Vegas, some very personal items of Marilyn Monroe, amongst items like photos, 2 blouses, a handbag, a fur coat, umbrella, bank statements, signed cheques and some other personal belongs, is an X-ray of her chest! Taken in 1954 when she was married to baseball star Joe di Maggio (the plate was under the name of Marilyn di Maggio).

Just when you thought every last bit of Marilyn Monroe had been put up for auction, including the crypt above hers at a local cemetery. Julien of Julien's Auctions says the psychiatric couch will be offered too during the Hollywood Legends auction, and is confident that people will want this “ultimate look into the legend.” To prove perhaps that she was beautiful and sexy inside and out?

I get that Marilyn Monroe was like the biggest sex symbol of all time. But how obsessed with her would you have to be to want to buy her chest x-ray? Seems creepy to me, but Yeah, that doesn’t sound stalkerish at all. It's business. In fact, the auction house thinks this chest x-ray, taken while she was undergoing treatment for Endometriosis, will bring in at least 141,000 Euros.

I do think this photo of Marilyn is one of her best, looking happy and so natural. Which part of the house is the best spot though to display this X-Ray Art?
