Marilyn Monroe’s Los Angeles Home Is Saved From Demolition

Marilyn Monroe's former Los Angeles home has been saved from demolition. A judge rejected a neighbor's request to tear down the Spanish-style residence, which the City Council had previously designated as a cultural landmark. The home, located in the Brentwood neighborhood, was where the iconic actress lived in the last two years of her life before her untimely death in 1962. It has been a point of interest for fans and preservationists, who sought to protect the historical significance of the property. The decision to deny the demolition petition comes after a long-running legal battle between the current owner and a neighboring property owner who wanted to replace the home with a new development. The city's landmark designation, which recognizes the home's cultural and architectural value, played a crucial role in the judge's ruling to prevent the demolition. This ruling ensures that Marilyn Monroe's former Los Angeles residence will be preserved, allowing the public to continue to visit and appreciate the legacy of one of Hollywood's most enduring stars.
