All Things Marilyn is pleased to present our next episode, which focuses on Marilyn’s final home, located at 12305 Fifth Helena Drive in Brentwood, California, an exclusive suburban neighborhood in the Westside region of Los Angeles.
In this podcast, we review the story of Marilyn purchasing what would become the first and only home she’d ever own by herself at the age of 35:
- What was it about the Brentwood house that drew her to it?
- What role did former husband Joe DiMaggio play in Marilyn buying the home?
- How did Ralph Greenson influence her purchase decisions, and her interior design style?
- Why was the house, and Marilyn’s bedroom in particular, in such a disarray as seen in police investigation photos?
We also dive into some of the persistent rumors that have surfaced over the years following her untimely death in her Brentwood house:
- Was the water to the home really turned off the day she died?
- Was there really evidence of the house being wire tapped and bugged?
- Was housekeep Eunice Murray really doing laundry the morning of August 5 when police officers arrived at the home?
- Did Marilyn even own a washer and dryer?
Joining us for this episode is noted author and historian Gary Vitacco-Robles. Gary has written two exceptional books on Marilyn: Cursum Perficio: Marilyn Monroe’s Brentwood Hacienda, The Story of Her Final Months, and Icon: The Life, Times, & Films of Marilyn Monroe.
Cursum Perficio is the only book ever published on Marilyn’s Fifth Helena Drive home. Gary conducted extensive research into all aspects of Marilyn’s time there, much of which we touch on in this episode.
