A 15-minute film of Marilyn Monroe engaging in oral sex with an unidentified man will be kept from public view by a New York businessman who has bought it for $1.5 million, the broker of the deal said on Monday.
Memorabilia collector Keya Morgan said he recently arranged the sale of the silent, black-and-white film from the son of a dead FBI informant who possessed it to a wealthy Manhattan businessman who wants to protect Monroe's privacy.
"The gentleman who bought it said out respect for Marilyn he's not going to make a joke of it and put it on the Internet and try to exploit her," said memorabilia collector Keya Morgan. "That's not his intention and I would never get my name involved if that were to happen."
Monroe is clothed and the man's head remains out of the frame for the entire 15 minutes of the film, said Morgan, who watched it.
Monroe was rumored to have had an affair with U.S. President John F. Kennedy, and Morgan said then FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, a Kennedy rival, went to great lengths to try to prove it was Kennedy in the film.
Now there is a couple of aspects I want to look at. One there have been reports that the video is not her but a look alike. This is hard to dispute since the video won't be released and we will have to just take someone's word for it. So I wonder if her or not and if this is truly worthy of news because this could be on the back burner for all I care.The other interesting part is how the collector said "...out respect for Marilyn he's not going to make a joke of it and put it on the Internet and try to exploit her." How cute but lets get one thing straight. Monroe was not exactly a princess. She was linked to both Kennedy's and we all heard her Happy Birthday song. I mean I didn't study her but my first impression of her after what I learned, hearing about this wasn't really shocking. I mean come on now. If you release you can prove her or not and if her just be something else to add to her biography.
Let's study this people already know about the tape, now its just a matter of if they believe it or not. I know believing is seeing but sometimes its more. So lets be honest people already have their mind made up, so lets not keep playing not tarnish image. Its already been tarnished by news of the tape out. Now she can't claim it wasn't her or get her image back they way it was. Its gone, and I'm sorry.
