People: Alleged Marilyn Monroe porn film up for auction

A Spanish collector plans to auction what he says is a newly discovered 8 mm version of a film purportedly depicting Marilyn Monroe having sex when she was still known as Norma Jean Baker.

A Monroe expert, however, says the actress in the film is someone else, considerably heavier and less feminine.

This is where we would offer to settle the dispute by viewing the film if we weren’t such decent people.

Collector Mikel Barsa said Wednesday he wants at least $500,000 for the sexually explicit 6½-minute, grainy black-and-white film, which he says was made before 1947, when Monroe was not yet 21. He said it’s an exact copy of a 16 mm film discovered more than a decade ago. Barsa brokered a sale of that film to a European magazine in 1997, which he said in turn sold some 600,000 copies before a collector bought the original 16 mm reel for $1.2 million. Copies of that version are still circulating on the Internet.

The woman in the film allegedly looks different from Monroe, but is similar to Monroe as seen in one of her first movies, 1949′s “Love Happy,” which shows the actress before she lost weight, added a beauty spot on her left cheek and became one of Hollywood’s most enduring stars.

Barsa says he plans to auction the film Aug. 7 at a memorabilia collectors fair in Buenos Aires.

at least it’s not slapstick: Chris Brown is coming to a theater near you in a romantic comedy.
