Los Angeles could clamp down on tour buses driving near a home once owned by Marilyn Monroe, under a proposal backed Friday by its City Council.
Los Angeles is exploring whether to clamp down on tour buses driving near a home once owned by Marilyn Monroe, under a proposal backed Friday by the City Council. The Brentwood home was designated by the city as a historic monument in June, a move that helps protect the residence from demolition, after its new owners began preparing to tear the house down. Monroe bought the home for $75,000 in 1962 and died there of an apparent overdose six months later.
'There is not a single piece of the house that includes any physical evidence that Ms. Monroe ever spent a day at the house,' the lawsuit said. In June, a judge turned down the owners' push for a preliminary injunction to halt the historic designation process. The council voted soon after to recognize the home as a monument. Amid the debate over the Brentwood house, neighbors had complained that a flock of tourists and fans were bringing unwanted traffic to the area.
