Die, Die, Die Again - Marilyn Monroe's Crypt Back on the Block

Tuesday October 20, 2009

After a Japanese bidder failed to make good on an eBay bid of $4.6 million dollars, the crypt directly above Marilyn Monroe's in a Los Angeles mausoleum is going back on the auction block - this time, with bidders vetted ahead of time.

Widow Elsie Poncher plans to move the remains of her husband - who brought the crypt from Monroe's former husband, playwright Arthur MIller - and provide the money as a legacy to her children.

Bidding starts at half a million dollars. I think I'll sit this one out.

If I had the money, I would buy that crypt. Spending eternity with Marilyn Monroe sounds wonderful.
