No image embodies Hollywood more than that of Marilyn Monroe. Her legacy endures as an icon nearly 75 years after she first gained fame in the 1950s.

Our signature “LA Story” tour covers the must-see sightseeing landmarks throughout Hollywood, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills.  Adding 1-hour to this popular excursion can put a very special emphasis on Marilyn Monroe.

Explore key places she called home, including:

• The 1925 Hollywood Studio Club where she lived with other starlets
• Her Beverly Hills home shared with Joe DiMaggio
• The Roosevelt Hotel where her modeling career began
• The Beverly Hills Hotel bungalows where she stayed
• Her final neighborhood in Brentwood on 5th Helena Drive

The Beverly Hills Home Shared with Joe DiMaggio

Visit Marilyn’s handprints and footprints next to Jane Russell’s at Grauman’s Chinese Theater, her star on the Walk of Fame at Hollywood and Highland, and her final resting place in Westwood alongside other Hollywood legends like Dean Martin, Billy Wilder, Jack Lemmon and Natalie Wood.

When visiting Los Angeles, we also recommend a visit to the historic Max Factor Building.  It’s now home to The Hollywood Museum and the largest collection of Monroe memorabilia in the world.  This location can easily be self-guided without a tour company and we suggest a few hours to take in their incredible displays of Hollywood props, costumes, set pieces and photographs.

The above photo is just another chapter in Marilyn’s restless life. Since 2021, Marilyn has called this spot in Palm Springs home…but she’s moving again beginning today. This time, just 100 feet north into the nearby park due to controversies surrounding her current location.
