HARDCORE MARILYN FBI'S MONROE SEX FLICK SOLD FOR $1.5M

An illicit copy of the steamy, still-FBI-classified reel - 15 minutes of 16mm film footage in which the original blond bombshell performs oral sex on an unidentified man - was just sold to a New York businessman for $1.5 million, said Keya Morgan, the well-known memorabilia collector who discovered the film and brokered its purchase.

The footage appears to have been shot in the 1950s. When it came to light in the mid-'60s, then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had his agents spend two weeks futilely trying to prove that Monroe's sex partner was either John F. Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy, according to declassified agency documents and interviews, Morgan said.

The silent black-and-white flick shows Monroe on her knees in front of a man whose face is just out of the shot.

He never moves into the shot, indicating that he knew the camera was there, but Monroe never looks at the lens, said Morgan, who saw the footage.

The feds eventually confiscated the original footage - but not before the informant made a copy of it, which is what was just sold by his son, Morgan said.

There are heavily redacted, declassified FBI documents talking about a "French-type" film.

BTW My grandmother looked like J. Edgar Hoover.

So it wasn't a man in drag, after all!

“Sounds like she may not have known the camera was there. What’s sleazy and slutty and gross about it. Unless you are the abstinence only type. No offense meant.”

What’s gross is the fact that she was so immoral. I have problem with married people doing that kind of thing, but we all know that Monroe was an amoral person. It’s just sort of lurid that her age-old immorality has to be brought to light now.

Had this been a story from the nineties Paula Jones could have been called as an expert witness.

Why is such behavior a problem if one is married?

“Source advised that [redacted name of the mole] informed them that he had obtained this film prior to the time Marilyn Monroe had achieved stardom.”

>>>That would seem to rule out JFK and RFK for this little film, would it not? There’s no reason to think they knew her before she was famous, is there?

Define Stardom. Marilyn was making movies as a starlet through the early 50s. JFK fished the Hollywood waters successfully, such as Gene Tierney. It’s not impossible he would have known Marilyn too.

However I don’t see JFK or RFK allowing themselves to be filmed in the act.

You may well be right - I was assuming that the Kennedy boys did not know her before the late ‘50s but if either/both of them trolled the starlets earlier then it could be one of them. I think Marilyn Monroe became very famous by 1953-54-55 (though it’s before my time!) but it all depends upon when this little ‘film’ was made and when JFK or RFK first knew her.

Another thought: the deep pockets person may not be buying this up to protect MM (seriously, who would pay that kind of money now to ‘protect’ her??) — maybe (tin-foil hat on my head) someone is willing to shell out big bucks to keep it out of view b/c it could reveal something else (the room, the furniture??) even if it does not show the man..... who besides the Kennedys and their Consigliere would care to spend so much money in 2008 to keep this little film out of circulation???
