Marilyn Monroe [1926 - 1962]

The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard is said to be the current residence of several ghosts of popular film stars, including Marilyn Monroe, the glamorous and funny star of such pictures as Some Like It Hot and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, who was a frequent guest of the Roosevelt at the height of her popularity. Although she died in her Brentwood home, her image has allegedly been seen on several occasions in a full-length mirror that once hung in her poolside suite.

Marilyn Monroe lived a dramatic, sensational but tragic life and died of a drug overdose on 8 August 1962. There has been much speculation about her death and the events surrounding it. Most believe that suicide was likely, although it has been suggested that her drug overdose was administered by someone other than Marilyn herself. There are some who believe that this uncertainty explains why her ghost lingers behind and why her sad image has impressed itself on the mirror.
