Five years ago we noted that Marilyn Monroe's estate would not be able to cash in on the use of her name and image because she died a resident of New York. The choice of domicile apparently was made for estate tax purposes, and last year a Court of Appeals ruled that her estate cannot retroactively switch her domicile to California.
Nevertheless, Marilyn keeps on making money hand over fist. And why not? As it says here: she can't misbehave like Miley Cyrus.
