Here's looking at you...

Marilyn Monroe - sex icon of my youth - is "buried" (not quite the right word, but don't know what would be) in a vault in a Memorial Park in California. There are other vaults around, below and above hers. The bloke who owned the vault immediately on top of hers, knowing that this would be his final resting place, insisted on being placed face down in his coffin. How great is that? Actually of course, the story is slightly spoiled because it won't be his final resting place. The story has come to light as a result of his widow moving his remains and putting the vault up for sale. Somebody's paid the best part of £3m to "spend eternity next to Marilyn". Cheap at the price, says I.
