Marilyn Monroe X-rays sell for $45,000

Marilyn Monroe X-rays sell for $45,000 - Entertainment - Celebrities - TODAYshow.com

Three X-rays of Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe's chest and pelvis taken during a hospital visit have sold for more than 10 times their pre-sale estimates, earning $45,000.

 

You can actually see some side boob!

 

A few years ago the group that runs the cemetary where she is intered was auctioning off (or offerring for sale, I forget which), the vault directly above Monroe's.

I guess that there might be some "attraction" to being on top of her for eternity. Never did hear how that one turned out.

 

That is the funniest thing I've heard today!!!!

 

Here is the article, apparently the vault was sold on eBay last year. I sort of lost track of the episode, but it googled up easily enough.

A burial vault directly above that of Marilyn Monroe has been sold for a massive $4.6m (£2.8m).

The plot - in the Westwood Village Memorial Park, Los Angeles - was being sold by the widow of the current occupier.

Elsie Ponche said the remains of Richard Poncher, who died 23 years ago, will be removed to make space for the winning eBay bidder.

Bidding for the plot started at $500,000 with more than 20 bids raising the price to the $4.6m (£2.8m) offered by a unnamed Japanese man.

But he should beware he will also be spending eternity nearby Hugh Hefner of Playboy fame, who bought the space next to Monroe's vault in 1992 for $75,000

Haha brilliant. Though that's a LOT of money to pay for essentially nothing.

 

Like my grandmother says: "More money than brains."

 

I forget where I heard this next, but it stuck with me; "A fool and his money are soon parted. The question which perplexes me is how did the fool get the money in the first place?"

 

Just shows some of the things people are willing to waste thousands on.

 

If you think this is bad, did you see the story this week about the heiress that left her dogs 11 million? !!!!

Miami heiress leaves mansion and millions to her dogs - NYPOST.com

 

Now thats what i hate, greedy women wasting millions they didnt even earn; i mean for christ sake i bet those dogs dont even want to be dressed up and laughed at, she could of at least gave it to help people in need or at least a good local cause....

 

All I will say is a quote from a famous American who used to run a sort of freak sideshow of sorts: "There's a sucker born every minute". Apparently this person ie either 1) A Pervert or 2) Has more money than brains.

 

Very True.

 

Marilyn Monroe was, still is and always will be THE sex symbol. A timeless beauty that will never fade away :mourn:

 

Okay, this is a more than a bit perverted and ghoulish.....

 

I'm confused.

You pay megabucks to look 'Through' rather than 'At' one of the most beautiful women ever????????

Did I miss something somewhere.....................??

 

Well, maybe some perverts might get off on x-rays....

There is a link on msn's homepage about famous people's last words, including Marylin's.

One that actually made me smile was Joe DiMaggio's last words (if they are indeed true)

"I finally get to see Marilyn"
