Lock of Marilyn Monroe's Hair Meets the Auction Block
Get it while it’s hot.
A 60-year-old clipping of Marilyn Monroe’s hair is up for auction – along with a photo of the blonde bombshell.
The “very well preserved” hair is being offered by Lelands and comes in a box labeled Kenneth Battelle, the “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” star’s hairdresser until her barbiturate overdose death in 1962 at age 36.
