Is It Really Marilyn?
By Richard Amada on Aug 8, 2011 | In Cinema, TV, Radio
An Argentine collector claims to have a 1940s porno film that features Marilyn Monroe before she became the famous Hollywood sex symbol. But the protectors of Ms. Monroe's estate say the claim is hogwash.
Collector Mikel Barsa tried to auction off the film at a starting price of almost a half-million dollars, but he got no bids. So he's still seeking a buyer.
Meanwhile the debate goes on over whether the actress in the film is really the famous Ms. Monroe, and the company that licenses her image says any sale of the film that includes an assertion that Ms. Monroe is in the movie could invite a lawsuit.
