A sex tape of screen goddess Marilyn Monroe has sold for a whopping 1.5 million dollars - but the new owner is adamant that people will not get to see it. The 15-minute black and white video was said to have been shot in the 1950s, before the sultry star became famous the world over.

The tape, which was found by memorabilia collector Keya Morgan as he researched a documentary on the star, shows Monroe performing a sex act on an unidentified man.He said that there was no doubt about the actress' identity."You see instantly it's Marilyn Monroe - she has the famous mole.

She's radiant," The Sun quoted him, as saying. Morgan came to know about the tape from an ex-FBI agent who told him about an informant who tipped off the spy agency about its existence in the 1960s, a time when then FBI chief J Edgar Hoover was trying to prove that the sultry star was involved with President John F Kennedy or his brother Bobby.
