Her acting coach's third wife, who she never met, runs the bulk of her estate.

To be fair most people she knew when she was alive are dead now. If she were alive today she’d be 96.

Fun fact: she was born the same year as Elizabeth II. That’s what makes the footage of the two of them meeting so interesting—the same age, but so different!

I actually worked for Anna (as an archivist) and she is super hardcore about protecting Monroe’s likeness and artifacts. They’re very respectful, as there are a lot of things that could be monetized/abused that no one will ever see. Everyone wants to use her likeness. At one point during my tenure, a tampon company wanted to put her on their packaging and the estate shot that down for being disrespectful.
