NY Businessman Buys Marilyn Monroe's Hardcore Sex Video For $1.5 Million
Video featuring actress Marilyn Monroe performing hardcore sex acts was sold to a collector for $1.5 million. The 15-minute film featuring Monroe performing oral sex with an unidentified man was bought by a New York businessman.
According to the broker of the deal, the film, which’s believed to have been shot in the 1950s, was first obtained by the FBI in the mid-1960s.
Memorabilia collector Keya Morgan said on Monday that 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.
Morgan said, "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. That's not his intention and I would never get my name involved if that were to happen."
Morgan, who's watched the film, said, Monroe is clothed and the man's head remains out of the frame for the entire 15 minutes of the film. The silent black-and-white film reportedly shows Monroe on her knees and performing oral sex on an unidentified male
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. He sought the tape, believing that the man in the tape was either John F. Kennedy or his brother, Robert.
According to FBI files, One of Monroe's ex-husbands, the late baseball great Joe DiMaggio, once tried to buy it from the collector for $25,000 but "he would not part with it.
Morgan, an eminent collector who owns memorabilia from the estates of Monroe and DiMaggio, said he was friend with Monroe's other two husbands, Jim Dougherty and Arthur Miller. He reported that he learned of the existence of the film while working on a documentary about Monroe, who died in August 1962 at age 36. He said, he was told about it by former FBI agent, and he confirmed it by tracking down the son of the FBI informant, who had provided a copy to the FBI.
