Smoking hot? Rather smoking pot

It’s been almost 50 years since style and beauty icon Marilyn Monroe passed away in 1962, but her name still makes headlines.

The 1-minute long video of Marilyn enjoying herself chatting and smoking pot with her friends has become one of the most expensive video footages ever sold as it brought the owner $275,000 after collector Keya Morgan purchased it for the copyright of the image to be put up for sale on eBay later this week.

The video was shot in New Jersey home in around 1958 – 1959 and shows Marilyn as we’ve never seen her before – relaxed, happy, laughing at some stupid jokes. Was it her true self? We’ll never really know making the video an almost priceless historical document.

This is the late Fifties so she is already very famous, but this is a personal side of her we’ve never seen before. People have never seen her in such a relaxed pose,” Morgan, who collects historical photos, manuscripts, autographs and documents, said.

The sensation-worthy thing about the video is definitely pot smoking. The person who shot the movie confirmed it was a joint and it was his pot Marilyn shared with the rest of the group.

I got [the pot]. It was mine. It was just passed around. It was not a party. It was just a get-together. You know, come over and hang out,” the source quoted him as saying.

Marilyn is just like any other actress of the present. Monroe’s greatest fan, Lindsay Lohan, must be super excited about it, though doubtful the conclusions LiLo will arrive at will do her any good.
