Lee Strasberg died of a heart attack in 1982. The director was the heir to part of Marilyn Monroe’s estate, which then went to Anna. The actress auctioned off some of the famous star’s items, including a piano given to her by her mother and the dress she wore during the “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” performance. She sold the rest of her property for several million dollars. In 2000, Anna founded Marilyn Monroe LLC, which was sued in 2006 by three photographers over its possession of Monroe’s licensing rights.
