Crypt above Marilyn Monroe sold for $4.6 million

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An American widow sold her husband's burial crypt directly on top of film legend Marilyn Monroe's final resting place for $4.6 million on Monday, through online auctioneer eBay Inc.

Elsie Poncher has said she was selling the crypt in a small, celebrity-heavy cemetery in Los Angeles to pay off her mortgage.

The auction opened earlier this month at $500,000 and attracted 21 bids before closing on Monday. eBay did not say who submitted the winning bid.

"We are currently working with the seller and the high bidder to finalize the sale and will be happy to report more of the details once the sale has been completed," it said in a statement.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Monroe will be in that crypt fifty years come 2012.  I can't help but think her beautiful has faded by now.  Being buried above ground is not the best way to preserve one's good looks.

When I heard this reported the first of the week....it was reported that the woman's husband was entombed there.....face down ....in his casket.... ::)

I would have tried to sell it too....and cremated the husband.....scattered his ashes....in the toilet.... :evillaugh:

Are we SURE it wasn't Ted Kennedy who bought that?  After all, he's the only one of the brothers who DIDN'T nail her.
