Marilyn Monroe's former home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, is to be classified as a historical cultural monument. This was decided by the Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday.

The residence, which is in Spanish colonial style, can thus be protected against demolition. The current owners claimed that the house is a nuisance since tourists and fans flock outside to take pictures and wanted to tear it down. But both historians and Monroe's fans argued that the residence is part of Hollywood's history and the City Council went along with their line.

The actress bought the house for 75,000 dollars in 1962 but only lived there for six months before she died of an overdose.
