Chest X-rays of the bombshell sold for $45,000 at auction
Forty-five thousand dollars: the amount paid at auction on Sunday for a set of three Marilyn Monroe chest X-rays from a 1954 hospital visit. Julien’s Auctions, which sold the the X-rays at the Hollywood Legends auction at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, estimated that a view of the inside of Monroe’s chest would fetch only $3,000. Other “Monroe-abilia” sold included a chair from her last photo shoot for $35,000—less than the price of the chest pictures.
