    • Trivia
      In 1972 she and her then husband became the new owners of Marilyn Monroe's Brentwood home. They hired a contractor to replace the roof and remodel the house, and the contractor discovered a sophisticated eavesdropping and telephone tapping system that covered every room in the house. The components were not commercially available in 1962, but were--in the words of a retired Justice Department official--"standard FBI issue."

      This discovery lent further support to claims of conspiracy theorists that Marilyn had been under surveillance by the Kennedys and/or the Mafia. The new owners spent $100,000 to remove the bugging devices from the house.
