Forgotten in someone’s attic for the last 50 years, a silent home movie of Marilyn Monroe smoking some herbage. The troubled MM appears relaxed and happy at a friends house getting her smoke on. The film was shot sometime in 1958-59.

“I had it up in my attic all this time,” says the woman who shot the home movie and confirms that Marilyn was smoking marijuana.

The friend wanted to remain anonymous for obvious reasons like she is probably a great-grandma by this point, said she regularly hung out with the starlet but doesn’t really have a reason for why it has taken her so long to part with the footage. “Home movies, that’s all it was,” she told NBCNewYork.com Tuesday. “It was never a big deal for me.”

A collector named Keya Morgan bought the film for $275,000 and plans to sell it in an auction later.

Celebrity sex tapes always sell, even if the celeb is no longer among the living. A long-buried sex tape of Marilyn Monroe recently hit the market and was immediately sold to a New York businessman for $1.5 million. The 15 minutes of 16mm film had been hidden away since the 1950’s when J. Edgar Hoover had his agents spend two weeks trying to prove the man in the film was one of the Kennedy boys.

An illicit copy of the steamy, still-FBI-classified reel – 15 minutes of 16mm film footage in which the original blond bombshell performs oral sex on an unidentified man …The footage appears to have been shot in the 1950s. When it came to light in the mid-’60s, then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had his agents spend two weeks futilely trying to prove that Monroe’s sex partner was either John F. Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy, according to declassified agency documents and interviews, Morgan said.

The silent black-and-white flick shows Monroe on her knees in front of a man whose face is just out of the shot. He never moves into the shot, indicating that he knew the camera was there, but Monroe never looks at the lens, said Morgan, who saw the footage.

Morgan said he discovered the film while doing research for a documentary on Monroe, after talking with a former FBI agent who told him about a confidential informant who tipped G-men to the existence of the film in the mid-’60s.

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.

Don’t expect to see this one floating around the internet Paris Hilton style. The buyer says he intends to keep it under lock and key out of respect to the late actress.

Check out these previously unpublished candid photos of Marilyn Monroe taken by Pulitzer Prize winner, Eve Arnold. Marilyn and Eve worked together for over a decade, and the trust Marilyn felt the photographer is obvious in these photos taken in private moments; in a bathroom, in bed and on a plane. The photos will be shown in handful of galleries in the UK and only 495 prints will be made of each picture.

Marilyn was the original messed Hollywood starlet with more emotional issues and chemical addictions than Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears put together. But she handled it with style and grace, not out at 4am in an LA club with no panties.
