In a bid to ward off foreclosure on her Los Angeles home, local widow Elsie Poncher first attempted to auction off her late husband’s crypt above the iconic film siren last August, but the $4.6 million winning bid fell through. Bidding for the marble mausoleum crypt, where Mr. Poncher has been buried for more than 20 years, will start at $500,000 Oct. 19, according to organizer Eric Gazin of AuctionCause.com. Gazin says he believes the crypt at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery will fetch “millions of dollars.”

The new eBay.com auction will end Oct. 29 and require a 1 to 5 percent refundable deposit, based on the bid.

Other celebrities laid to rest in the Hollywood cemetery include Farrah Fawcett, Natalie Wood, Rodney Dangerfield, Dean Martin, Jack Lemmon, Eva Gabor, and Truman Capote.
