LOS ANGELES — Marilyn Monroe isn’t getting a new neighbor anytime soon.
The second auction of the marble mausoleum crypt above Monroe didn’t fetch any bids, according to organizer Eric Gazin of AuctionCause.com. A previous $4.6 million bid for the space fell through in August when Elsie Poncher first attempted to sell off her late husband’s crypt.
Other celebrities laid to rest at the cemetery include Farrah Fawcett, Rodney Dangerfield, Dean Martin, Jack Lemmon and Eva Gabor.
