Marilyn Monroe sex reel sells for 1.5 million
dollars: report
A 15-minute film clip of late movie
legend Marilyn Monroe giving oral sex to
an unidentified man was sold Monday to a
businessman, who chose to remain
anonymous, for 1.5 million dollars, The
New York Post said. The film is a copy
of a 1950s black-and-white 16-millimeter
clip owned by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, whose first director
Edgar Hoover tried but failed to prove
the man in it -- who never shows his
face -- was US president John F.
Kennedy.
The
daily said the clip was sold through an
intermediary identified as Keya Morgan, who
apparently found it while filming a documentary
on Monroe, who died in 1962.
Kennedy, who was rumored to have had a sexual
relationship with Monroe at some time, was
assassinated in 1963.
The
businessman who bought the sex reel asked to
remain anonymous, the daily said.

friendship between two women. One is wealthy and played by Ola Ghanem,
and the other is poor and played by the Lebanese singer Dolly Shaheen.

play such a role, and that she chooses her films very carefully.
Ola is filming a television drama series called “Misk Al Laik” (The
Night Scent), written by Noor Al Deen and directed by Muhmmad Al Naqli.
