An heiress and a reality TV producer are suing Los Angeles for the right to demolish the home where Marilyn Monroe died.

The article discusses a legal dispute involving the owners of the Brentwood home where Marilyn Monroe lived and died, who are suing the city of Los Angeles for the right to demolish the property. Heiress Brinah Milstein and her husband, Roy Bank, purchased the home in August 2023 for $8.35 million and sought to expand their adjacent residence. However, the Los Angeles City Council intervened, proposing to designate the home as a historical landmark, which would prevent its demolition. The plaintiffs argue that the city’s actions were unconstitutional and biased, claiming the house does not meet the criteria for historic designation, while supporters of Monroe view the property as significant to her legacy and Hollywood history.
