In a significant move to preserve cultural history, Marilyn Monroe's former home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, has been designated a Historic-Cultural Monument. This decision by the L.A. City Council was unanimous, reflecting Monroe's enduring legacy and the cultural significance of her final residence. The designation comes despite initial plans by the current owners, Brinah Milstein and Roy Bank, to demolish the property. This new status protects the home from being torn down and ensures that it remains a part of Los Angeles' cultural heritage.
