RARE Marilyn Monroe - The Brentwood Hacienda House 1962

[@grai]

the choice of this house says a lot about her she was a great soul

[@marcellalogue3776]

I have read several books on Marilyn, and I too am convinced the poor woman was murdered, the truth needs to come out.

[@olivparici]

I saw this house, very simple place, she was a simple woman, but the Biggest Star !

[@aerialkate]

A modest house for a superstar...

[@tiffsaver]

This was MM's first and only house. She was thrilled about redecorating it when she was suddenly found dead from an apparent "suicide." Anyone who believes that fairy tale doesn't know much about suicidal people... they don't go around buying new homes and get excited about fixing them up. In any event, thanks for sharing this footage, I've never seen it before.

[@babybunny9278]

This was sad to watch, especially the photos with all the police standing around her property. You know they're there because she is dead and probably still in the house. Her house seemed warm, cozy and inviting. I hope she had some peace and solace while living there. I picture her enjoying the sun, relaxing by the pool or maybe sitting in the living room reading a book. I "see" her laying back on the sofa with her feet propped up on the edge of the coffee table while talking on the phone. Maybe she's in the yard, laying on that chaise lounge with her little dog in her lap while she playfully pets it. It looked like a nice place to come home to after a long, hectic day on the set. A retreat to escape to, all her own, bought with her hard-earned money. And behind those gates no one could touch her or abuse her. Poor woman. Yes, this was sad to watch.

[@lolaanava6686]

PS... The kitchen! OH my gosh, I love the kitchen! THe blue tiles and copper and the little nook!

[@lindalanileembgtfrd]

The kind of house I would expect from Marilyn.laid back, untidy, lived in,relaxed, maybe a little bohemian! there was more to Marilyn, than was visible, in her screen persona, Marilyn, thought a lot!

[@lindalanileembgtfrd]

Martlyn was far from the dumb blonde, a lot believed her to be, she read a lot,Russian writers, like Dostoyevsky, she soaked it all up, she was a deep thinker,and very sensitive, she wanted to be seen as a serious actress, I think had she of lived, we would have seen her in more challenging roles!

[@lindalanileembgtfrd]

Chez Marilyns!

[@lindalanileembgtfrd]

she had the ability to become a great actress!I feel the Kennedy brothers! were part of her downfall! she was delicate!they treated her very badly!

[@tajmulhall7505]

she lived so simple ..

[@lorraineauclair6930]

[@lolaanava6686]

I wish I knew you Peter, you really are amazing. I love seeing all of these personal touches, the candles on her table, the books, all the wood in her home, her purse on the floor. These are so very intimate and the music is always perfect. I realize that these photos came from the day she passed on, but this is done with honor and love and whoever you are, you obviously have tremendous access to extremely personal moments. Thank you for sharing them in such a beautiful classy way... I really appreciate knowing this part of her.

[@TheMarilyn1969monroe]

Thank you Lola, I really appreciate it ;-)

[@babybunny9278]

Watching this video a second time and I can imagine her in every room! On a cold night in front of the fireplace, maybe writing in her diary about the day she had. Sitting at the kitchen table while Eunice pours her a cup of coffee, she's looking out the window at her little dog in the yard. I "hear" her padding around the house at night because she can't sleep and she goes into the kitchen to get a drink. At the blue tiled counter she sips her drink while flipping through a magazine. I don't know what her bathroom looked like but I can imagine her there, fixing her hair, getting ready for the journalist to arrive at her house and interview her. Or she has just arrived home, very late and after saying "good night' to Eunice, she enters her bedroom, kicks off her shoes and places her black handbag on the floor near the door. I'm inspired now and I think I'll use this video to spur my imagination while I write a short story about her! Maybe I'll call it: Cursum Perficio. But in my story she's finally free and living in that house forever.

[@onehotminutex]

Very true, also alot of her furniture hadn't arrived yet... she went on a shopping trip to Mexico to buy some things but she didn't live to see them arrive. Sad.

[@Violet-jy6qs]

although she seemed like a very lonely person I don't believe she killed herself , towards the end of her life she looked physically the best shape of her life and she appeared very positive and she seemed to have a maturity about her as she got older , she was a fabulous actress and I'm pretty sure she would of gone on to do amazing roles in her acting but unfortunately life and some people dealt her a very bad hand but she was truly amazing . Rip. 💕 💕

[@elenamullis8734]

This is a very emotional video, with the music and everything. Thanks for sharing

[@angelinbluejeans855]

Tastefully presented! Thank you for the love and respect!

[@lisawright7694]

Peter Lawford has alot to answer to I think!

[@Fancylooks]

I wish I could go and have some coffee with her at that kitchen, and maybe cook some tacos together, that would have been so wonderful! I love the kitchen , never seen it before. It is amazing how she wanted to continue the Mexican style in her house, she didn't want any fancy strange furniture, just plain simple and nice. Like her heart.

[@lona3936]

Thank you so much! I've got a pleasure! Marilyn is living in my heart. Thank you great.

[@TheMauvetys]

the house is so simple..no big furnitures...her house deco style was very far away from what we could expect from a world famous actress. her kitchen is very beautiful. thanks for this visit to Marilyn 's house: so touching to see her house

[@deleted2525]

well done! wow, so beautiful.. and so interestng. You did this in a peaceful and calming way. I love it so much :) Thank you Peter,this is breathtaking.

[@jaznahdae4294]

Thanks for this really helpful ! ...and the music was beautiful :)

[@tarashaw1284]

I cant believe this is her style!! I would have thought her to be much more art deco and glamorous!

[@thesassylady4772]

I agree its quite modest and spartan ,especially compared to lesser star Jayne Mansfield's Pink Palace which was very glamorous and lavish.

[@almaguillot8597]

I read in one of the comments she was planing to fix the house her way, but didn't have the chance to do it.

[@andrewbrendan1579]

Maybe, maybe not true but I've read that Marilyn wanted to make her home look like the home of her psychiatrist Dr. Greenson. I've read in a couple of Architectural Digest's "Hollywood at Home" issues how Marilyn went through most of her life owning almost nothing. Maybe she would have become a minimalist. Maybe not entirely by choice but Marilyn Monroe seems to have been a forerunner of the minimalist movement of today. I'm something of a minimalist myself: looks like I'm in good company!

[@carolynaustin5187]

Thanks So Much Paul. I would have visited it. Marilyn is such an icon if mine.

[@theresahron30]

That house is rather plain with little furniture not what one would expect from a big star like Marilyn......

[@theresahron30]

Well yes I agree. Jayne Mansfield house was ALL pink ......tacky! I had read that she was in the process of decorating. I don't think she put too much emphasis on material things.

[@beatleslovelovelove7048]

We love you marilyn !!! 😍😍😍😘😘😘

[@dochenry9312]

Thank you for this...

[@DivaClariceWilliams]

A pretty and charming home befitting a pretty and complicated woman. I can see how it would have made her feel more grounded and stable,something she always seemed to crave.Odd that she died during a time of relative security in her homelife?

[@AnnaLee33]

Dear Clarice, yes odd, but it was a too turbulent time otherwise, with losing Century Fox, the Kennedys, and all the stress and efforts she had to go through..it was exhausting her...and she had chronic sinusitis...

[@AnnaLee33]

cubomania3 You're not telling me anything new. However, AT FIRST, she had strong existential fear, after Century fox fired her, although later resolved. She had to mobilize all her strength, -while having a chronic inflammation-to fight for her existance.. It meant a lot of stress for her. She drank too much. Stress does damage, whether it is resolved later on or not. Cortisol level goes up and other hormonal changes occur. All that affect immunity, heart, etc. and chronic sinusitis causes a general fatigue. All these factors weaken the overall resilience. I'm working in a medical profession, so take my word for it. The sum of her stress with Fox, the Kennedys, combined with a chronic imflammation, plus her alcohol and barbiturate consume weakened her, immensily.

[@AnnaLee33]

cubomania3 I don't need to be HER doctor to know that she was in a dimished state of health. I think it's highly possible, the Kennedys played a fatal role in her death, though.

[@dondelaney2686]

Thank you for sharing . Apparently Marilyn Monroe was a excellent cook.

[@mjaliveinmusic]

wonderful and very emotive video......that makes us fly to the past......into a journey to the last days in marilyn s world.-

[@joniwxyz]

Thank you Peter for all you do for Marilyn. I still can't believe it... How lucky she was/is to have a friend like you to keep her alive. What a difficult life she had, from inception. I am very sad life with Joe D. didn't work out and even more so with Arthur Miller. He understood her so well... I thought... Thanks again. She is in my thoughts... JJ x

[@shae8951]

Joe was the only one that understood her, I feel

[@alexanderdelacruz9249]

Nice string session.

[@theditti1010]

I think she bought the house and after she had no money to furnish it. But I can not know. (She bought it few month before her death.)

[@jadeveylupek133]

Cute place to stay and calm....Sorry that she lost her beautiful life!....hugs!....I love both marilyn and Jane Russell!...Jane was so good to her and did her best for her. She felt bad that she did not invite her at the time of Marilyn's death. Jane was with her girlfriends at the beach in Malibu (south of my home about 20 minutes) and had no idea what happened to Marilyn. They were best friends and made her feel more sad. She abandoned Hollywood and moved on to be humbled. She couldn't afford the mansion in Beverly Hills or wherever since she left her job and abandoned the studios in Hollywood. She did not care and enjoyed her simple life....I like about her!

[@elluc1510]

I don't think that Jane Russel were like best friends with Marilyn ..They were just friends I would say..Marilyn had a very few close friends ..

[@francescomazzella7380]

Marilyn...

[@AnnaLee33]

Actually, I don't think Marilyn was into cooking...she was so busy with other things that Eunice Murray was in charge of preparing her meals. I think the kitchen was already in the house when she bought it Kitchens are so hard to "move out".

[@TheVerbalVolley]

Why is it that the whole house was immaculate and in order except for the bedroom. I wonder if it was ransacked after her death.

[@aerialkate]

Yep, I noticed that too. If we believe Deborah Gould then Peter Lawford 'swept' the house in search of evidence implicating Bobby Kennedy in terms of an inappropriate relationship. Then again there were police, doctors, medics traipsing through...

[@TheVerbalVolley]

...And another terrible misconception commonly written about Marilyn in various books and articles was that here was this poor, mentally sick woman who lived in virtual seclusion in an almost totally unfurnished home. These photographs show that the house was almost completely decorated and tastefully furnished when these photographs were snapped. Boy, there were some real fabrications going on about MM then, probably with the aide of Fox to try to portray her as a very disturbed woman.

[@vegasjill21]

Verbal Volley Great comment, VV. And that is exactly what 'they' do to someone who knows too much! Try to deem them mentally unfit and smear their name however they can . Sad...the truth will most likely never come out as to the exact circumstances surrounding her death~

[@joeschmoe373]

wow, with that decor I'd be quite depressed as well and probably would consider doing something drastic. On the other hand that pool is amazing!

[@yvonnespearing]

was thinking the same thing. How depressing, I would of jumped out the windows..omg décor is hides.sorry

[@onehotminutex]

Well, Marilyn was awaiting delivery of the furniture she bought from Mexico shortly before her death.

[@michaelpilot1000]

George Eyebrowson I have viewed a check she wrote 2 days prior to death for a chest of drawers from a US furniture store. I think it was about 225.80. They did cash the check. Wonder if they ever delivered the item.

[@yvonnespearing]

hope so..if not well than that that??lol

[@gloriahanes3843]

3:27 Quest room is Guest room - A mystery still surrounds her death and what is with the broken window? Sounds like foul play ??

[@TheMarilyn1969monroe]

Oops you're right Gloria

[@suenetteedwards5965]

Supposedly her psychiatrist broke the window to get in the night she died.

[@beautybuyandtryhappy4810]

Anytime I seem to watch anything about Marilyn Monroe I seem to get really down, not just for a few mins but for the whole day, Justice needs to be served for her death, or there needs to be questions answered. Somebody knows something! A star as big as her wouldn't just kill herself as she had so much to live for! Weather she had a mental illness but did it really go that far too kill herself I doubt it 😤

[@lewis3265]

Her house looked more like a bachelors pad than a womans house. It is a lovely house though.

[@carolynaustin5187]

Is anyone living in her house now, or did they use it for a tour attraction? A lot of people would to visit it today. Please respond back. Thank you so much.

[@htatsios]

i heard that some one bought it

[@shae8951]

Yeah they changed it :(

[@666death666ful]

i like how they call it an over dose. it look like she fought with some one who ebter her house. she fought i think they drowned her. you can tell by her face and hair. all her hair is matted and wet. she had a bruise on her back. her bed was all messed up. a crack on the window. so some one forced their way in while she was still up and in another room. they dragged her on that bed moved things around too make it look like she over dosed. they tamperd with pills and her drinks. they dont have the stuff we have no too solve cases.and they still dont solve cases.like the show bones and stuff. her murder would of been solved all ready but no. a hit man came in an killed her.and i dont think she knew who they were too. alot of strugging involved.

[@gregrak9389]

Really?? the crack on the window was apparently caused by her "companion/housekeeper" Mrs. Murray in an attempt to enter the bedroom, you need to read some of the facts in this case, just saying

[@gregrak9389]

Greg Rak well, at least an attempt to look into Miss Monroe's bedroom,Mrs. Murray apparently broke through the bedroom window so she could move the curtain.

[@akrenwinkle]

Greg Rak I think it's like JFK's assassination. Maybe a handful of people know exactly what happened and the rest of us can only theorize. I am not the only one who thinks that because Marilyn was often drunk and unpredictable, the Kennedys worried she might spill the beans on them. But again, it's a theory.

[@omagine]

that's a pretty elaborate story. The sad thing is it's just as possible that she accidentally od'd, or purposely did so in a very bad emotional downswing. The likelihood of the feds offing her and making it look suicidal is equally strong, because of her knowing too much. And they could cover it up very well. Either way almost doesn't matter, because she's gone and we can't bring her back. There is a lot to learn from her life, so it seems to me to be more important to focus on that than how it ended, which we will NEVER know for sure.

[@gregrak9389]

what is so "elaborate"? my view is that she probably overdosed by accident, perhaps realized what she did, too late, and tried to call for the help, accidental overdoses are quite common, sadly, to individuals who abuse drugs, I think this is a more likely scenario than Miss Monroe intentionally committing suicide, either way, nothing sinister happened, the BS about the Kennedys is simply beyond comprehension, not one CREDIBLE source exists to back any of that up, period.

[@tajmulhall7505]

no pic of her or friends

[@omagine]

it's not about her and her friends. it's about the home she lived in, and what she left behind

[@TomChilli]

omagine I Think Kevin meant, there were absolutely no pictures on the walls, or above the fireplace, nor about her or her friends. It's sad.

[@tajmulhall7505]

That is actually what I meant , sad , such a forlorn soul

[@spiritangel43]

Not sure on what happened but I do see the window broke, looks to small to be a man's hand,not to meantiin the wrist that fellows below. with that all sharp piece of glass left there and the sharpness of the thumb nail. it looks like a woman's left hand smashed the window from inside and she then slipped sideways leaving her wrist and arm in the break and wouldn't a man's hand, wrist and forearm be bigger. ? I also noticed that the Lach is on the second window from the bottom on the left hand side. why not hit that one. so as I am looking and it's backing up showing us better, I look up pass the second window on the left side and noticed a woman's face with short hair, waves and piercing eyes just looking out. Not to meantion smoke like shapes in the following frames. just saying guys. God rest her soul.

[@gregrak9389]

Miss Monroe passed away in the hospital on Aug 4, 1962 and her body was taken back to her home?

[@paulsimpson4155]

Oh yes that's so good to know from someone who was there !!!
