Rockhaven Sanitarium Marilyn Monroe’s mother stayed here!

First all-women's sanitarium ! Hollywood stars and family cared for here.

Rockhaven Sanitarium in La Crescenta, CA was the first facility founded by a woman and run by women. Marilyn Monroe's mother and Billie Burke (Glinda the Good Witch) are but a few of the Hollywood women that found refuge here from the 1920s until 2006. Currently abandoned we take an exclusive tour with preservationist Joanna Linkchorst, Pat Pattison is our host.
