Marilyn: The Original Sex Symbol's Clothes Auctioned Off
Filed under: Etc.
Face it: No one in this day and age holds a candle to the great and forever adored Marilyn Monroe.
As it should be, if you ask us.
And, now, the beloved starlet's belongings will be auctioned off in Las Vegas after being on display at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. Some of the items up for grabs include items from her Brentwood home, clothing, autographed photos, and other Monroe memorabilia.
The auction begins on June 26th through Julien's Auctions.
We don't even want to think about the kind of money that is going to be dropped at this event!

Amy Winehouse = Jewelry Designer! WTF????
I'm A Celebrity…With No Shame!
I hope by "Clothing" you don't mean Her panties with some of JFK's {Or Bobby's}spunk in them-GROSS!
love her
I'd kill for some of her stuff. Maybe not kill, but the closest thing to not spending the rest of my life in jail.
I love her. She's timeless
Not that they have anything in common but where has that haggard slut, lindsay lohan, been?
Must have had some major plastic surgery for her to lay low for so long.
Hmmm let's see I know a lot of celebs try to be like her … Lindsay Lohan, Megan Fox, but I think Anna Nicole came closest, and now Britney Spears ..except Britney is more like Princess D and Marilyn combined with the Arab Boyfriends, Pap Chases, The "Onces" America's Sweetheart Title, Scandal, THOSE hurt lost EYES, drug problems, and that vulnerability about her …etc etc … But at the end of the day everyone is there OWN person and I don't understand why a celebrity would aim to mimic another icons career? I mean Lindsay Lohan is going to be remembered as Lindsay, Megan Fox as Megan …ha! actually they probably won't be remembered at all…
SHE WASN'T A "STARLET" IDIOT, SHE WAS A HUGE STAR. AND STILL A LEGEND TO THIS DAY.
Love her.
Icon
Just loooove her 
I wonder what size those clothes are…..most stars today would starve themselves if they were her size. sad.
Face it: No one in this day and age holds a candle to the great and forever adored Marilyn Monroe.
totally agree!!
damn imagine how much her stuff is gonna be! love ya marilyn
Marilyn Monroe was a beauty and a product of her times. She was non-threatening to men, soft and vulnerable. She became an international sex symbol.
She played the bimbo, she slept with the President, she took prescription drugs and married the wrong guys. Her acting chops are debatable. Nowadays, a woman her size wouldn't even get the chance to audition for plum roles.
RIP.
boring
Perez, did you just call the greatest Marilyn Monroe a "starlet"? Oh dear….
I think Mae West was the ORIGINAL sex symbol, she wasn't much to look at without her make up. Marilyn was an average looking woman who became a sex symbol once the make up was applied and the sex kitten personality was affected. People in and out of show business just cared about what she look like; they didn't take her seriously and didn't know who she really was. She was not a happy woman.
i guess lizbo lohan will be there along with everyone else who thinks they look like her
True or false?
Marilyn reportedly never owned any real estate or jewelery?
She was a slut. I believe that Jackie Kennedy Onaiss personified class and grace and I hold the upmost respect for her. As for Marilyn Monroe's skanky ass, she was trash who hooked up with anyone in hollywood and flaunted her vulgar vagina everywhere.
i don't emulate whores nor would i ever purchase anything she ever owned, especially if it was given to me for free.
Re: emberfusion – Me too! Anything at all. A book of matches, a receipt from a store….anything. An article of clothing, no matter how insignificant ,
would be too much to even dream about.
Re: LaDiva – Of course you wouldn't purchase anything you were given for free.
She a legend, a Goddess, what do you mean with starlet
I really want too go too this! I'm gonna be in vegas on the weekend and wish it was then, my house is just a few blocks from Marilyns…maybe I can exchange house's lol. Marilyn was the biggest HollyWood star ever! Even if I can't buy anything it will be for sale again one day, maybe from the owners children or something so not gonna get my hopes down lol. Marilyn has been my idol since I was a kid!
i dont understand this
Face it: No one in this day and age holds a candle to the great and forever adored Marilyn Monroe.
As it should be, if you ask us.
what is perez saying?¿
Re: Whitneyleigh144 – Her acting was just OK too … yeah she was trash for sure… I don't know why people worship this clown like i mean she was a fucking skanky drug head who OD'd very young… yeah cause clearly I want my kids to idolize that trash
For sure…she is the Original sex symbol…before Nancy Sinatra, Madonna and Britney.
Re: dreamygrl –
For you and those others calling Marilyn a skank etc, I'm willing to wager you've slept with more people than Marilyn has.
Also, who exactly do you find talented, then? take your time, I know you need to go and look up some random famous authors/etc to make yourself sound smart.
Re: Typh –
False…She owned the home she died in.
"We don't even want to think about the kind of money that is going to be dropped at this event!"~ HA! We're probably talking records here! You gotta love Marilyn!
Re: Lady Liberty Ave – YOU WIN! Wheee!
I
her cloths werent that good
Re: Typh – and what is your point…. marilyn monroe lived off her beauty b/c talent was truely lacking in that dept unless u consider giving blowjobs to the president a job…
Re: LaDiva – Simply trivia LaDiva. Marilyn reportedly owned little of any real value in the course of her life.
By today's standards her box office draw alone would have netted her a good amount of holdings.
This snip was simply about the pending auction not a broad debate on her talent level or what she did with her off-screen talents.
Re: LaDiva – I will beg to differ in opinions on this. She was of the set that made Hollywood…Hollywood.
In that regard I will also give mention to Edith Head, Bette Davis, Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra and many other other early silver screen actors, producers, et al. You are referring to an age where secrets in Hollywood were able to remain just that. Unlike now.
Marilyn had a career prior to any alleged involvement with the former President and it isn't likely that she took advantage of Kennedy, should that be what you are weakly attempting to infer. Guilt is normally shared, however she was single, he was married, and you believe she is the guilty floozy?
Welcome back to the 1960's.
Shame on women right?
Re: Typh – I do not nor have i cared for her. Never found her appeal or your 'allure' worth my attention. The end.
Perez I think you should go look up 'starlet' in a dictionary. Love her, most photogenic person ever.
