Marilyn Monroe's Brentwood home
Museums / Galleries, Brentwood
Fodor's Review:
Though there's nothing grand or "Hollywood" in its size and impact, Marilyn Monroe's last home has become one of the most infamous addresses in Los Angeles. It was here she posed with Joe DiMaggio in publicity stills, smiling, lounging and playing piano.and it is here her body was found at the end of her short life. As you drive by, try to imagine the city in black and white, with pampered starlets, pushy studio heads, and powerful publicists that engineered a perfect image for the stars they owned. Her home illustrates the very human scale of what was a larger-than-life persona.
