He inherited all her personal items and clothing, as well as 75 percent of her residuary estate, which was anything left after her main bequests.

Monroe left $10,000 to her half sister, Bernie Miracle, and the same to her personal secretary, May Reis.

She also left $5,000 each to her friends, Norman and Hedda Rosten, while also leaving $100,000 to be held in trust for her mother, Gladys Baker, and Xenia Chekhov, the surviving spouse of her friend and acting coach Michael Chekhov.

Baker was to receive $5,000 a year, while Xenia was to receive $2,500 a year, and the balance of the trust was to go to her New York psychiatrist Dr Marianne Kris after Baker and Chekhov died.
