Marilyn Monroe estate sued a club for using Monroe’s image and her name in its sings, SunSentinel reported.

The club in West Palm Beach’s manager, John said to SunSentinel that they already stop using the image of Monroe and they didn’t try to profit from the memory of Marilyn Monroe. The club used images of 1950s stars including Lana Turner, Bettie Page and the Rat Pack. He added that he used the name of ‘Monroe’ because it was his cat name and it was to challenge to his rival club ‘Rachel’, which also its owner’s cat name.
