On Friday, a unanimous L.A. City Council vote temporarily halted a permit that had been issued to Glory of the Snow Trust — the current owners of the property in Brentwood, California in which Marilyn Monroe spent her last days — that would allow them to demolish the home that the actress purchased herself in 1962.
During a press conference held shortly before Friday's City Council meeting, Councilmember Traci Park spoke of the rush to save Monroe's home, saying, "Immediately my team and I sprung into action. ... But unfortunately, the Department of Building and Safety issued a demolition permit before my team and I could fully intervene and get this issue resolved."
