Video of Marilyn Monroe Smoking Pot Surfaces 50 Years Later

Posted on December 1, 2009 by Lolita Carrico

A personal video from the late 1950′s with late actress Marilyn Monroe smoking pot has surfaced…and it’s up for sale.

Shot by a friend of the movie star, who wished to remain anonymous, the footage sat in an attic for the past 50 years until collector Keya Morgan tracked down the video. After confirming with the owner that it is indeed marijuana in the joint Marilyn takes a drag from, Morgan bought the film for $275,000 and plans to put it up for sale on eBay later this week.

“This is the late ’50s so she is already very famous, but this is a personal side of her we’ve never seen before,” Morgan said.

“People have never seen her in such a relaxed pose.”
