The Los Angeles couple who bought the house where Marilyn Monroe died have been dealt yet another setback in their quest to tear it down and build a new house. Roy Bank and Brinah Milstein had their lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles thrown out by a federal court judge in the Central District of California Wednesday, dealing the couple a major setback in their quest to begin new construction on the property. The couple sued in January after the city designated the home that Marilyn Monroe owned for six months a “Historical-Cultural Monument” and prevented them from tearing down the property.
