Marilyn Inc. stayed back after half a century


There is a profession after death, at least if whilst in existence you wielded star power like Marilyn Monroe. The bombshell actress remains a successful celeb brand also 50 years after the lady passed away Aug. 5, 1962, with a new electronic emphasis to fit the insightful photos, fashion, films along with other social touchstones the lady left behind.


Monroe rated third last year on Forbes’ yearly listing of best departed celebrity earners, generating $28 million and also coming in at the rear of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. It was a comeback for that actress, who had fallen from the list the prior 2 yrs.


When the list is actually up-to-date within the fall, it’ll likely show it has been another lucrative year for the celebrity’s property, that was purchased in 2010 simply by Genuine Brands Group and its companion, NECA.
