Fans of Marilyn Monroe have successfully preserved her mark on Los Angeles by saving her former home in Brentwood as a historic cultural monument. Additionally, the towering 26-foot statue "Forever Marilyn" in Palm Springs is now a step closer to remaining permanently in place. Despite the current owners' plan to demolish Monroe's former home, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously voted to protect it, citing its iconic status as the residence where Monroe lived and tragically died in 1962. However, the owners argue that the house has been extensively altered over the years and now causes a neighborhood nuisance. In Palm Springs, the fate of the "Forever Marilyn" statue is still being debated, with a recent decision by the planning commission moving the process forward to potentially keep the statue in its current location.
