Marilyn Monroe Chest X-Ray Sold for $45,000

Someone must’ve really liked Marilyn Monroe – either that or chest X-ray – because they’ve shelled out $45,000 for it:

A 1954 x-ray of the stunning starlet’s chest sold at auction in Las Vegas on Sunday for a sizable $45,000. This was well above the estimated $800 to $1,200 it was expected to fetch.

The bizarre medical photograph was one of several of Monroe’s belongings that were up for bid at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino via Julien’s Auctions over the weekend.

"[The x-ray] was taken around the time she was believed to be pregnant, and rumor has it that she had a miscarriage," President/CEO Darren Julien told the Daily News back in April.

About

I am constantly amazed by all the great tools coming online for the sharing of media and always have to give them a try.

In this Posterous "Blog" and the associated twitter posts I am simply writing a headline that puts my position and then reproducing and linking the original author's material.

This is unlike my DIGIVU post where I write my own text and simply link to the information to which the blog refers.

I have 3 separate blogs here all with an African focus:

http://www.digivu.posterous.com - personal interesting stuff
http://www.safpp.posterous.com - unused food processing information
http://www.digienv.posterous.com - energy & environment
