According to a report in the New York Post, a long-buried naughty tape from Marilyn Monroe has returned from the past. The steamy 15-minute 16 mm tape of Marilyn Monroe features her oral performance on an unidentified male. The tape recently hit the market and has been acquired by a New York businessman for $1.5 million.
The footage first surfaced in the mid 1960s when -according to FBI documents- FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover tried unsuccessfully to prove that the guy was either then-President John F. Kennedy or his brother, Robert F. Kennedy. An FBI informant copied the confiscated original film (which is still being held by the FBI as a classified reel), resulting in the just sold only copy of the footage.
