However, a collector plans to auction what he claims is a newly discovered 8-mm version of a film purportedly showing Marilyn having sex when she was still an underage actress known as Norma Jean Baker.
Barsa had previously commercialized the only other copy of this film, which surfaced in 1997 and was sold to a private collector for $1.2 million in 2001.
Back then, controversy sparked over whether it was Monroe who appeared masturbating and having sex with an unknown man. At the conference, Barsa mentioned documents from the FBI investigating the origin of the film, and a set of jewelry worn by Monroe in the film that is the same as what she wore on other films and photos she did around that time.
With a starting price of half a million dollars, the item will be the highlight of the first Buenos Aires Film Collecting Fair, which will take place between on August 6th and 7th at the Borges Cultural Centre.
