X-rays of Marilyn Monroe sold for $45,000

It’s not as iconic as the photo of a Marilyn Monroe standing in a white dress over a sewer grate – but it fetched quite a price.

Adding to strange celebrity medical memorabilia, three X-rays of the actress were sold at a Las Vegas, Nevada, auction this weekend for $45,000.

Her chest X-ray was sold for $25,000. Her side view X-ray for $10,000 and another X-ray for $10,000.

The value of the chest X-ray taken two weeks after her divorce from baseball great Joe DiMaggio was originally estimated to be between $800 and $1,200. The X-rays were taken at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital from her doctor’s visit in November 1954, according to Julien's Auctions.
