Marilyn Monroe sex tape sold for £750,000

A sex tape featuring Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe has been unearthed – and sold for £750,000.

The 15-minute black and white movie is said to have been shot in the Fifties before Marilyn found worldwide fame. It is reported to show Marilyn performing a sex act on an unidentified man.

And now, a New York businessman has snapped it up for a cool £750,000.

The film was stumbled upon by memorabilia collector Keya Morgan as he researched a documentary on Marilyn, who died aged 36 in 1962.

Morgan said an ex-FBI spook told him about an informant who tipped off the agency about the video’s existence in the Sixties. At the time FBI chief J Edgar Hoover was trying in vain to prove Marilyn was sleeping with President John F Kennedy or his brother Bobby.

The informant made a copy of the flick, which ended up with his son after he died.

Morgan traced the son and acted as broker in the sale of the video to the businessman.

He said: 'You see instantly it’s Marilyn Monroe — she has the famous mole. She’s radiant.'

Morgan added that the buyer told him: 'I’m just going to lock it up. I’m not going to sell it out of respect.'
