Never-before-seen belongings of the Hollywood legend, Marilyn Monroe, are now on display in Los Angeles. The display comes ahead of the 50th anniversary of the movie star’s death at the age of 36.

One of the world’s most iconic actresses, Marilyn Monroe, is the star of a new million dollar exhibition of some of her most personal belongings. It’s taking place in Hollywood, 50 years after her premature death.

Andrea Silverman, general manager of Ripley’s Believe It or Not, said, "We have her famous sweater, which was actually the last photograph that she did before her death. You’re going to see her makeup case. It took her over three hours to do her makeup. You guys have to come see all the cool stuff that we have. We have her shoes. We have her nightgown when she was married to Joe DiMaggio, for her honeymoon."

This black lingerie was worn by Marilyn for baseball legend Joe DiMaggio on their wedding night. Slippers with glass and white faux fur straps were valued 10 years ago at over 100 thousand US dollars.

Also on display is a 12 thousand dollar lace nightcap as well as a bathing suit that was quite scandalous at the time for being a midriff baring two pieces. For Marilyn fans, they like the feeling of being inside the vault to see her things.

Jeanne Wolf, Hollywood journalist, said, "It’s hard to explain the worship, the love of a star like Marilyn, if there is anyone exactly like Marilyn. People want to do anything they can to put a hand on something she had her hand on, to touch her, and to feel somehow that personal connection come alive."

Marilyn Monroe died August 5, 1962. She was found dead at just 36 in the bedroom of her Brentwood home by her psychiatrist.
