A silent black and white tape of Marilyn Monroe engaging in “jerjer” with an unknown man has sold for $1.5 million to a NY businessman, according to a report in the NY Post. It’s said to be 15 minutes long and is obviously of Marilyn. She never looks at the camera but the man’s head is not visible, which may suggest that he planted the camera and she didn’t know it was there.

The movie was shot on 15mm film sometime in the 1950s and it first attracted the interest of the FBI in the mid 60s. The FBI under J. Edgar Hoover spent “two weeks futilely trying to prove that Monroe’s partner was either John F. Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy, according to declassified agency documents and interviews.”

A NY memorabilia dealer, Keya Morgan, bought the only known copy of the film from the son of the informant who gave it to the FBI over 40 years ago. Morgan is now $1.5 million richer after selling it. Supposedly the guy who bought it doesn’t have any plans to sell or release it to the public:

The feds eventually confiscated the original footage - but not before the informant made a copy of it, which is what was just sold by his son, Morgan said.

There are heavily redacted, declassified FBI documents talking about a “French-type” film.

They state the informant “exhibited [to agents] a motion picture which depicted deceased actress Marilyn Monroe committing a perverted act upon a unknown male,” Morgan said.

The informant was with at least one mobster at the time, the documents state.

According to the documents, “Former baseball star Joseph DiMaggio in the past had offered [the informant] $25,000 for this film, it being the only one in existence, but he refused the offer.

“Source advised that [redacted name of the mole] informed them that he had obtained this film prior to the time Marilyn Monroe had achieved stardom.”

Morgan said he got the deceased informant’s name from the former FBI agent who tipped him off to the flick - and was floored after he found the mole’s son in Washington, DC, and the man retrieved a film canister from a safe-deposit box and spooled it up.

“You see instantly that it’s Marilyn Monroe - she has the famous mole,” Morgan said.

“She’s smiling, she’s very charming, she’s very radiant, but she’s known for being radiant,” he said. “She moves away, and then it [the footage] stops.”

Last month, he brokered its sale, leading the informant’s son to a wealthy New York businessman who wants to keep this unseemly part of Monroe’s past buried.

“He said he’s just going to lock it up,” Morgan said.

“He said, ‘I’m not going to make a Paris Hilton out of her. I’m not going to sell it, out of respect.’ “

This brings up all sorts of questions about who the man was in the film and who actually bought it - like whether it’s just some super rich guy who wanted it for his collection or if he has some connection to Marilyn or the man she was filmed with. Either way, we’ll probably never see it and that’s a good thing. She had enough image problems without a s3x tape coming out 45 years after her death.

Marilyn is shown below with her second husband of just 10 months in 1954, Joe DiMaggio. Given the fact that DiMaggio offered so much money for the tape and that he was married to her around the time it was shot, it was possibly him in the film.
