Karen has been collecting Marilyn Monroe memorabilia for over thirty years and has amassed a collection of more than 2,000 items — all proudly displayed in her museum-like "Marilyn Room." Her most treasured pieces include one of Monroe's bodysuits; eyeliner and mascara once used by Monroe; a design sketch from the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes; as well as a rare book inscribed to Monroe and her playwright husband Arthur Miller.
