Siegfried

We have received a number of messages from readers. We are sorry we were not able to get to them sooner, or to respond to each one. We will try to do better in the future.

One reader told us that they can confirm that Mark Bellinghaus’ birth name was Hans Siegfried Schmidt. This is why he sometimes used an image of Siegfried from the Richard Wagner opera of the same name when posting online.

We have received more information, but are unable to confirm it. If you know Mark Bellinghaus, or have seen any news about him since July of this year, please let us know. Thank you.

Is Mark Bellinghaus buying the crypt above Marilyn Monroe?

In our last post, we asked why Mark Bellinghaus was selling his treasured collection of Marilyn Monroe items. Now we learn that the crypt directly above Marilyn Monroe is for sale. On eBay.

Is Mark intending to buy it as his own final resting place so that he can be next to Marilyn Monroe forever? If so, we hope that Mark is the winning bidder, but we would really prefer to see Mark finance a film and return to acting.

Mark Bellinghaus selling Marilyn Monroe collection

You may not know that as well as being a talented actor, Mark Bellinghaus is also a collector of things that formerly belonged to the great actress Marilyn Monroe. He has a very large collection of clothing that was worn by Marilyn and furnished his own home with furniture that may at one time have been in Marilyn’s home.

Mark said in an interview that he spent his inheritance buying Marilyn items at auctions. Now it appears like Mark is selling off his treasured collection of Marilyn Monroe items. Here is information about the auction and here is a link to a news story about the auction.

We hope that this is a sign that Mark is returning to acting full time. If you have any information about this please leave a comment or email us.

Mark Bellinghaus and Hans Siegfried Schmidt (part two)

Is Hans Siegfried Schmidt really Mark Bellinghaus’s birth name?

We believe so, but we still aren’t sure. We have updated  the FAQ and our original post about this with new links. The search engine caches have expired but we were lucky enough to archive copies of them. If you didn’t get the chance to see them before you can take a look now.

We hope that Mark’s websites are back again soon!
