Abstract

The article discusses a recent legal decision that prevents the demolition of actress Marilyn Monroe's last home, which has been designated as a historic landmark by the city of Los Angeles. A judge ruled in favor of the city, rejecting the new owners' request to halt the landmark designation, although the reasoning for the decision was not provided. Monroe lived in the Brentwood house for six months before her death in 1962, and it was purchased in 2023 for $8.35 million by Brinah Milstein and Roy Bank, who intended to combine it with their adjacent property. Preservationists successfully argued for the house's preservation against the owners' plans. [Extracted from the article]
