Dec 1 - A silent home movie allegedly showing Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe smoking marijuana has surfaced, retrieved from an attic some 50 years after it was filmed.
The reel-to-reel silent, color film was recently purchased by collector Keya Morgan for $275,000 from the person who took the film, who has asked to remain anonymous.
Morgan and the person who shot the film gave Reuters permission to use a minute of footage from the four minutes of Monroe on camera.
According to Morgan, the footage shows a personal side of the tragic actress, rarely seen by the public after she achieved stardom.
The copyright of the image will be put up for sale on eBay later this week, Morgan said.
The claim that Monroe was smoking marijuana came from the photographer, who spoke only on condition of anonymity.
