A motion from Councilmember Traci Park has saved Marilyn Monroe's Brentwood home, for now.
The Los Angeles City Council temporarily halted the demolition of Marilyn Monroe's Brentwood home, much to the relief of fans and historians.
Park introduced the motion to temporarily save the home during Friday's council meeting. It will now undergo the process to be declared as a historical landmark. The Marilyn Monroe fandom community was devastated by the news that the home, where some of her personal touches remain, was about to be torn down.
Fortner said it has undergone a couple of remodels and renovations but many of the aspects are still in place from the time that Marilyn lived there, including front step tiles that read"Cursum Perficio," Latin for"My journey ends here."
