Marilyn Monroe's dress and Playboy founder Hugh Hefner's tuxedo and slippers were sold at auction over the weekend. The long-sleeved silk jersey Pucci dress fetched $325,000, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
A single-occupancy crypt-mausoleum at the Pierce Brothers Memorial Park and Mortuary in Westwood Village in Los Angeles, located near the final resting places of Hugh Hefner and Marilyn Monroe, also sold for $195,000, according to organizer Julien's Auctions; an $88,900 Monroe crypt tombstone—constant touching from fans caused minor wear and tear, requiring it to be replaced; Hefner's burgundy tuxedo, slippers, pajamas, and tobacco pipe ensemble ($13,000); and a round mansion bed custom-made for Hefner as a stand-in for his master bed in the original Playboy Mansion in Chicago ($13,000).
The crypt, bed, and other items were sold to Anthony Jabin, a Beverly Hills technology investor. “I always dreamed of spending the rest of my life next to Marilyn Monroe,” Jabin said.
