Group Sues Over Demolition Of Marilyn Monroe’s One-Time Home

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The city of Los Angeles trampled state and local laws when it approved demolition of a home where Marilyn Monroe briefly lived to make way for a condominium project, a lawsuit charges.

A residents’ group is seeking to roll back the City Council’s approval for the five-unit project in the San Fernando Valley. It filed the lawsuit last week.

The Los Angeles Times reported Monday the house where the actress lived for one year was torn down days before a hearing on whether to consider making it a historic monument.
