Fans of Marilyn Monroe have achieved significant victories in preserving her legacy in Los Angeles and Palm Springs. In Los Angeles, Monroe’s former home, where she lived and tragically passed away, has been declared a historic cultural monument despite plans for demolition by current owners seeking to expand. The decision reflects Monroe’s enduring cultural significance in the city. Meanwhile, in Palm Springs, efforts to keep the 26-foot “Forever Marilyn” statue, depicting her famous pose from “The Seven Year Itch,” have progressed with a favorable planning commission decision.
