12305 Fifth Helena Drive

[Bret L]

((The house has been owned by a few celebrities of various magnitudes
since, and seems to come up for sale regularly. It seems to trade at
roughly a 3-4X multiple of its basic non-celebrity value,i.e., what it
would be worth if MM had never owned or been in it much less died
there. Bret.))

Marilyn's House
12305 5th Helena Drive

Another must-see location is Marilyn's Brentwood home... the only
house she ever owned, and of course, the place where she died on
August 4, 1962.

Be aware that the current owners of the house do NOT appreciate
Marilyn fans disturbing their privacy. There is a high wall, and they
have a tarp covering the gate so that you can't usually see much from
the street except for the roof and some trees. On my trip to LA for
Marilyn's 75th birthday, we rented a helicopter and flew over the
house to take pictures!

Marilyn's house is at the end of 5th Helena Drive, which is a small
street, almost like an alley.
From San Vincente Blvd, go North on Carmelina Ave, and then go to the
right on Helena until you get to 5th Helena.

Yeah, you can't see much from the street.
