Late Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe’s former home, where she was found dead, has been rescued from demolition for the foreseeable future. The Hollywood legend bought the 1929-built Spanish-style hacienda on 5th Helena Drive in Los Angeles just 6 months before she was found dead in August 1962 at the age of 36, but in September, a permit was approved to tear down the home, reports aceshowbiz.com. The Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission, however, voted unanimously to declare the property a historic cultural monument on Thursday, January 18. People magazine reports the commissioners noted that although Monroe only spent a few months living at the property, which is where she was found dead in 1962, aged 36- it was the only home she ever bought for herself.
