Marilyn Monroe Tour Draws Crowds
Marilyn Monroe still draws a crowd.
Close to the 40th anniversary of her death hundreds of fans paid homage on Saturday and soaked up a bit of the screen siren’s legend.
Leslie Kasperowicz, who runs the online Immortal Marilyn Fan Club, led a tour of “Marilyn Homes and Haunts.” More than 30 reverent fans visited 22 sites from Hollywood to Beverly Hills.
“She’s just so beautiful. She’s timeless,” said Monroe look-alike Rebecca Staley, of England. “I just wanted to see it all.”
A Monroe look-alike contest and party were scheduled Sunday in Hollywood, followed Monday by an annual service at the Westwood Memorial Park cemetery.
Monroe died Aug. 5, 1962, at 36 due to an overdose of sleeping pills.
