Darren Julien, the president of Julien's Auctions, added: "That rendition has lived on for decades as one of the most remarkable events in her career and certainly one of the most storied tales in popular culture history a moment in time squarely at the centre of the 1960s, Hollywood and Camelot." The Hollywood star was found dead less than three months later Hundreds of Miss Monroe's items are going up for auction over three days including the beaded cocktail dress worn by the actress in Some Like It Hot , which sold for 302,000 ($375,000)
