In and out of foster homes, actress and film star Marilyn Monroe overcame a difficult childhood to become one of the world's biggest and most enduring sex symbols of modern times.

Grave Location Description

As you enter the gate drive straight ahead and turn left at the office and left again at the end of the lawn section. Look straight ahead and you will see Hugh Hefner and Marilyn Monroe buried side by side just on the other side of the four benches.

To be brutally honest, if you can’t find Marilyn in this small, exclusive cemetery then you will never be a true Tombstone Tourist.
