Last Resort Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Lots of talk here on what the future Indian Chief from Kings Mountain will be "worth". Well, here is an example of where the "Value" of similar products can vary GREATLY in price depending on intangibles such as emotional "Value" or the rarity of the product or the people involved Example. Lots of women can give a bj, some are better then others. Lots of women have done this on film. Some make the activity more interesting to watch then others. Video's and DVD's of this activeity can be purchased for as little as a few dollars thru online distributors, liquor stores, adult book stores ... all over the place. Would anyone pay 1.5 Million dollars to see some woman give a bj? A steamy 15-minute sex tape of Marilyn Monroe performing oral sex on an unidentified man has been sold to a New York businessman for $1.5 million. The long-buried sex film recently hit the market, a memorabilia collector told the New York Post. The footage, which appears to have been shot in the 1950s before Monroe became famous, first surfaced in the mid-'60s. Then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover reportedly spent two weeks trying (unsuccessfully) to prove that Monroe's sex partner was either then-President John F. Kennedy or his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, according to FBI documents. In the silent black-and-white film, Monroe is on her knees in front of a man whose face is out of the shot, reports the NYPost. It appears he knew the camera was there, but Monroe never looks at the lens. The feds eventually confiscated the original film, but an FBI informant copied it, which is the footage that was just sold to the unidentified NY businessman. Newly declassified FBI documents state that an informant "exhibited [to agents] a motion picture which depicted deceased actress Marilyn Monroe committing a perverted act upon a unknown male." FBI documents also indicate that former baseball star Joe DiMaggio (who was once married to Monroe) knew about the tape and had offered [the informant] $25,000 for the film, but the informant refused the offer. "You see instantly that it's Marilyn Monroe - she has the famous mole," according to an NYC memorabilia collector. "She's smiling, she's very charming, she's very radiant, but she's known for being radiant," he said. "She moves away, and then it [the footage] stops." Fortunately for Monroe, the tape will never see the light of day if its new owner has any say in the matter. The wealthy New York businessman reportedly wants to keep this unseemly part of Monroe's past buried. He said: "I'm not going to make a Paris Hilton out of her. I'm not going to sell it, out of respect." If his intentions are genuine, the guy is a class act and a true gentleman. If not, he's a total loser and douchebag, who's in the same class as sleazebag porn-meister Joe Francis and Rick Salomon (who made and sold the Paris Hilton sex tape).

Maldev Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 "Someone" may pay that to keep others from seeing it in order to protect an icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Resort Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 As was stated in the article. But that still does not change the fact that there are people, many people, who would have paid a much higher amount for that tape over one staring Anabella Chong, Rene Summers ... even Traci Lords or likely any other person engaging in the same activity.

Maldev Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 True. My point was far less kind than that mentioned in the article. There are people who are in control of Monroe's image and estate (and license the image for posters, coffee cups, etc.) that would not wish to see this tape released and allowed to sully her image as it would directly affect their income.

I thought you said she was giving him a bj? Does this mean that those rare copies I have of "the Hedstrum" tapes - might have value???

FiremanDave Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) If the buyer is sincere in his wish to keep this film out of the public view, he has my heartfelt thanks, for rare is such an individual today, especially one with such disposable income. It seems to be epidemic in the press and citizenery in general, to want to tarnish anyone that might be held a hero or heroin today. While I'm not sure that MM fits my idea of a heroin except in the most tragic sense. She certainly has become greater in death than she probably would have in life, and she is still held as an American Icon, and that is a rarity in todays 60 sec. world.
