You can quantify how iconic a star is by the sums people will pay for his or her worthless pos­sessions. A fanatic once paid more than $1,000 for Justin Timberlake's left­over french toast. Recently this 1954 chest X-ray of Mari­lyn Monroe sold at auction for $45,000.Which proves that (1) beauty is not skin deep and (2) her impact is still being realized 48 years after her demise.Right: Marilyn Monroein the first issue ofplayboy.
