On August 5th,1962 the most famous actress in history passed away at the age of 36. Marilyn Monroe died, allegedly, of an overdose of barbiturates /suicide at her home at 12305 Fifth Helena Drive in Brentwood, California.

That home, which was the first one she ever purchased by herself, without a husband, is now up for sale for a cool $6.9 million. The home is 2,624 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a pool, and a citrus grove on the property. It has never been designated a historic home, even though it has had several owners in the years since it's most famous resident occupied the hacienda style bungalow. It's beautiful, but the history makes it a little creepy at the same time. Would you buy it?
