Jasmine regularly posts Tik Tok tours of the Some Like It Hot star's opulent $2.7million mansion nestled in California's Runyon Canyon, which she shared with her husband Joe DiMaggio during their marriage in 1954.

Jasmine, who is a self-confessed 1950s vintage lover, described her journey from Glasgow to LA on social media, and how she went from feeling her "life wasn't worth living" to following her dreams.

In a Tik Tok video, the Scottish star explains: "At 17 years old, I thought my life was over. I failed all my exams and my parents went through a nasty divorce and I honestly thought life wasn't worth living.

"I had to get some money in so I started acting in various BBC kids shows and then I realised my love for film production and I had to pursue it."

Jasmine explains how she was "over the moon" when got her degree in film production in Glasgow and started getting recognitions for film jobs.

She worked with Harry Potter music creator Patrick Doyle and Mad Max producer Ian Smith who gave her glowing references when she applied for a masters course in the US.

"I met a Hollywood producer who told me I had to get out of Scotland, get myself over to America and start working in the film industry," she added.

"I applied to do my masters in film production and I got in. I didn't realise at the age of 22 I'd be moving to LA all on my own with no family not knowing anything about LA and then keep pursuing my career which I still am today.

"I didn't realise I would meet my future husband - who dresses vintage too - and live in my dream home which is Marilyn Monroe's house. Never give up on your dreams".
