Fact – 29
Monroe spent her last months in a little hacienda-style house in Brentwood, 12305 Fifth Helena Drive, which is a moving reminder of Hollywood history. Purchased for $77,500 just months before her death, this was the first and only house Monroe owned herself. With its Spanish-style construction and little garden, the 2,624-square-foot property mirrored Monroe's yearning for a more quiet, private life free from the glare of Hollywood. She had meticulously embellished the house with personal touches, including objects gathered on travels to Mexico and Europe. Four bedrooms, three baths, and a kidney-shaped swimming pool where she would often unwind defined the residence. Its recent $7.25 million sale underscores both its historical importance and the value placed on homes related to Hollywood icons. Maintaining many original characteristics including tile work, light fixtures, and the citrus grove Monroe planted, the house has stayed almost unaltered since her time. Every room tells tales of her last days, therefore serving as a potent emblem of both her successes and her terrible death.
