Marilyn Monroe Sex Tape

A long-buried FBI-classified sex tape of, which appears to have been shot in the 1950s, has been sold to a wealthy New York businessman for $1.5 million.

The 15 minute footage shows Monroe on her knees performing oral sex on an unidentified man. When the tape, shot on 16mm film, came to light in the 1960s, J. Edgar Hoover unsuccessfully tried to prove the man in the video was either John F. Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy.

The man's face is just out of camera range, and he never moves into the shot, which may indicate he knew the camera was there.

According to declassified FBI documents, Joe DiMaggio once offered $25,000 for the film.

Keya Morgan, a well-known memorabilia collector who discovered the film while doing research for a documentary on Monroe and brokered it's purchase, says "You see instantly that it's Marilyn Monroe - she has the famous mole."

The FBI confiscated the original footage - but not before an informant made a copy of it, which is what was just sold by his son, 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 stops."

Monroe never looks directly into the camera, however, it would be extremely difficult for her not to have known she was being filmed. Filming was a much more complex and noisy operation in the 1950s.

If you were looking forward to seeing a Marilyn Monroe sex tape, don't hold your breath. The New York businessman who purchased the film wants to keep this 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.' "
