CMG's attorneys said Monroe lived in California when she died, where there are posthumous publicity rights. Soni Law Firm, lawyers for Kelley and Greene disputed that, saying Strasberg had in other lawsuits testified under oath that Monroe was a New York resident at the time of her death. Evidently, Strasberg's idea of truth is optional (and flexible).
Last week, Roesler lost the suit against the New York photographer when Judge McMahon decided it didn't matter where Monroe lived when she died. Strasberg couldn't lay claim to the photo rights anyway.
This week, in California court, Roesler lost again with Judge Morrow - same issue, same ruling.

the strasberg's and all their henchmen have been greedily covering up the truth about marilyn monroe and her daughter and anyone who really was her family for over forty years.
when they keep money in california, it's calif when it's ny where the will was probated it is ny
meanwhile marilyn hardly ever lived in california, and always kept her apartment in manhattan to be near her family, and daughter.

these people are not her heirs never have been wills are public knowledge she entrusted strasberg to distribute monies to her family, and daughter and he chose not to because he could because of the circumstances of her death and human nature of which he is aware and his own greed
her heir nancy miracle has not lost a thing and continues to fight the forces of evil

cmg and strasbergs idea of truth is that it doesn't exist it is just how they keep the money in spite of the truth many people never spoke to strasberg after monroe's death including arthur miller and many other actors who worked with him and monroe he was not nice but his second wife anna she's a baracuda

Man, guys are so gullible.

Hmmmm...Ms Fraud Miracle claims to have been born September 1946. I wonder how Marilyn was able to pose in endless bikini pics during that year, not to mention with Illustrator Earl Moran (nudes), while never showing she was pregnant. Marilyn clearly is not pregnant in August of 1946, when she posed in a white bikini for KFI Radio Station Seminar for Photographic Techniques (Ambassador Hotel). And other photographers too many pics of Marilyn during that year showing no signs of it. Andre de' Dienes, Joseph Jasgur, Richard Miller, Bruno Bernard, etc.

Sad how people want to be famous, that they will do anything to attach themselves to those who are.

there is documentation, her thumbprints on a birthcertificate in nyc on sept 14 mother's prints. that is the only reality. she was not in any way famous in 46.

she fired milton greene one of the photographers when she was still alive because he was ripping her off then too. the strasbergs and cmg are fighting with thieves like themselves. I have done research and spoken with the biographer behind the real person of marilyn monroe this is all true about her daughter

Are you crazy???? Marilyn lived MOST of her life in California. At first, I thought this must be Mark Bellinghaus saying this, but even he knows where she lived. And a daughter! Please. Marilyn would have NEVER let her own child go through what she did between Foster homes, orphanages. Sure, it wasn't acceptable to be single and a mother back then, but most things that Marilyn did were not acceptable back then. Don't you know who the Miracle's are????

To thelma johnstown -
Wow, did you get that wrong. Milton introduced Marilyn to Lee Strasberg! He carefully guided and managed Marilyn - and took the best photos of her ever taken. Marilyn lived with Milton for a couple years! They formed a company and did 2 movies!
The photographers were all very careful with the works produced of Marilyn. They would simply like to be able to USE these photographs. CMG has blocked all artists by threats of lawsuits for years. MMLLC has always "assumed" they have a right of publicity - incorrectly.
Without the beauty of these photos, what would you have?
MMLLC HAS no images - they sold everything owned by Marilyn at auctions, for 12-14 million.
Your so-called biographer didn't know Marilyn - the Greene family did.

Marilyn Monroe never lived in California she was the image, created by hollywood, all she did in california was make movies, sign contracts and die.

Marilyn fired Greene in a letter. She never even met Greene until she was already a big star he was a photographer who insinuated himself into her life and fame just as strasberg and the rest did arthur miller couldn't stand him and never spoke to him again either....she marilyn, fired greene who worked for her, there is a letter in writing....don't believe what you read in books, chronology, chronology, law....law is chronlogy confuse chronology to destroy the truth and law. that's how it's done.....

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Pisces

Relationships are kind of shaky under this Lunar Cycle and you may even get the distinct impression you're heading for a major showdown with a certain someone. Although this feels like a crisis, don't let panic or desperation push you into decisions you would normally steer clear of. You may think you've reached the end of the road, but this isn't a good reason to go off the deep end and make drastic decisions. Proceed with caution!
