Update: Marilyn Monroe's Brentwood Hacienda
My sources have let me know that four offers have been made on Marilyn's house. No word yet on whether or not any of the offers have been accepted.
Also, I've received several questions about the current floor plan for the house. Attached to this post is the floor plan from when Marilyn owned the home and also from present day, which includes the changes that have been made to the structure.

Zsa Zsa Gabor's Condition Believed Critical
Hollywood personality Zsa Zsa Gabor was in critical condition Friday after earlier reports suggested the actress was doing well following hip replacement surgery.
Gabor of course starred in "We're Not Married" with Marilyn Monroe in 1952.
In a statement issued by publicist John Blanchette, he revealed Gabor's husband said, "doctors were working very hard to stabilize her."
Blanchette described the actress as "vacant," "uncommunicative," "bleeding excessively" and not responding well to the surgery.
Doctor's have taken the Hollywood icon off morphine -- hoping to improve her condition as they work to determine whether or not the actress may have suffered a stroke.
Gabor's husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt said, "She looks at us but doesn't know what is going on."
Meanwhile, Zsa Zsa's daughter, Constance Francesca Hilton, is giving a different version of her mother's state. Hilton said her mother is in "guarded" condition, and said she spoke to her mother during a hospital visit on Friday. Mrs. Hilton added, she [Gabor] is "adjusting to the medications and healing process. There are no surprises."
This totally contradicts Blanchette's statement saying, "She [Gabor] hasn't talked. She wasn't speaking. They were worried about that [sic]. They [doctors] took her off morphine to see if that might be the cause."
The Touch Of Evil actress was rushed to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center last Saturday after an attempt to answer the phone caused her to fall and break her hip.
The 93-year old actress was attempting to access her wheelchair when it's unlocked wheels began to roll and sent Zsa Zsa crashing to the floor.
The "high maintenance" personality has had problems with her health and immobility in recent years. In 2002, she began using a wheelchair after a car accident made it difficult to walk. In 2005, she suffered a stroke. In 2007, immobility caused her leg to become infected and required surgery to heal.
The actress got her first big movie role in John Huston's 1952 film Moulin Rouge.
Zsa Zsa Gabor and her sisters, Eva and Magda, married a total of 20 times. Actor George Sanders was married to Zsa Zsa and her sister Magda, Though Sanders was not married to the sisters at the same time, Zsa Zsa was still married to Michael O'Hara when she wed Mexican actor and attorney Felipe de Alba.

Kenneth Branagh Set to Play Sir Laurence Olivier in My Week with Marilyn
Kenneth Branagh is set to play Sir Laurence Olivier in My Week with Marilyn alongside Michelle Williams. The story is based on a diary from the perspective of Colin Clark, a personal assistant to Olivier unofficially assigned to Marilyn Monroe (played by Williams) on the set of 1957’s The Princess and the Showgirl. Clark’s account of the events deliberately left out a week’s worth of details, and the film will supposedly reveal what happened in the missing excerpt.
Branagh only recently wrapped shooting on Marvel’s Thor, but it's reported he is in talks for the Monroe film which is tentatively scheduled to shoot in September.
Ralph Fiennes was also considered for the part of Olivier, but evidently his own directorial duties on Coriolanus prevented him from taking the role.
A second, more broad account of Marilyn’s life is in the works based on Joyce Carol Oates’ faux memoir “Blonde.” Naomi Watts plays Marilyn in this feature.
