The New York Post reports that there is a Marilyn Monroe sex tape, and Keya Morgan, a well-known memorabilia collector confirms that the tape was "just sold to a New York businessman for $1.5 million." Morgan was the one who discovered the film and brokered its purchase, and he has also seen the footage.

In the 15 minutes of silent, black and white 16mm film footage, the late Monroe allegedly performs oral sex on an unidentified man who's face is just out of the frame. Morgan told the New York post, "You see instantly that it's Marilyn Monroe - she has the famous mole." Morgan also says that the businessman who purchased the film is "just going to lock it up," and he is "not going to sell it, out of respect."

NEW YORK, New York (X17online) - Marilyn Monroe's likeness has been purchased by Authentic Brands Group and media company NECA for close to $50 million. Toronto entrepreneur Jamie Salter headed the efforts.

The cinema icon's image will get a makeover on everything from handbags, fragrances, clothing and home goods.

Salter, of Authentic Brands Group, released the following statement:

"We're not really interested in the trinkets and trash. Don't get me wrong, it's a good business -- calendars, posters and shot glasses -- but that's not what we want to do with Marilyn Monroe."

The deal will also include using Monroe's image for Hollywood movies. The two companies have also agreed to eliminate souvenirs in Times Square. As for the deal itself, it took more than six months to negotiate.
