 Marilyn Monroe's Los Angeles home is now considered a historic landmark. Lisa Taylor has more. I always say a kiss on the hand might feel very good, but a diamond tiara lasts forever. The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to give the home in LA's Brentwood neighborhood the designation. The current owners of the home had planned to demolish it and combine it with the property they own next door. They have filed a lawsuit against LA claiming the city rushed the historical landmark process and violated city codes.
