Lot 1032: MARILYN MONROE SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE DRESS 
A Marilyn Monroe worn dress from her final film, Something's Got to Give (20th Century Fox, 1962). The figure-hugging silk crepe dress is printed with scattered painterly roses in shades of persimmon and deep cherry with a plunging V back. The interior of the studio constructed dress has hand finished details, is lined with ivory souffle, and has boning to the waistline. Jean Louis was the costume designer on the film. Monroe wore this dress when her character, who was proclaimed dead and returns from being stranded on an island for five years, is introduced in the film and reunited with her children, who do not realize she is their mother. Monroe was fired from the film, and while the studio tried to replace her with Lee Remick, the film's leading man, Dean Martin, refused to finish the film without Monroe. Monroe's untimely death came less than a month after she was let go from the production.
In 1989, raw footage of the uncompleted movie was discovered in 20th Century Fox’s film vault by the producers of Fox Entertainment News, who edited 37 minutes of the film, featured in the FEN documentary Marilyn: Something’s Got to Give (Fox Network, 1990). The edited footage was later re-purposed in AMC’s 2001 documentary Marilyn Monroe: The Final Days (Prometheus Entertainment), which aired on what would have been Monroe’s 75th birthday.

bonjour , oui je suis entièrement d'accord avec vous. Il aurait fallu un beau musée consacré à Marilyn. Ou alors que sa demi-soeur Bernice en ai la garde. Je trouve qu'il y a eu beaucoup de gachis concernant les efftes perso de Marilyn..

[Marie-Hélène]

En ce qui me concerne, quand je vois tout ces effets personnels vendus j'ai un pincement au coeur, jusqu'où peut-on aller pour faire de l'argent sur le dos de la pauvre Marilyn? Je pense qu'on devrait faire comme avec Elvis et faire une espèce de Graceland mais Marilyn n'ayant pas eu d'exécuteur testamentaire cela a malheureusement été impossible. Dommage que tout s'éparpille au fil des ans!

[baumgarten]

ah si j'étais riche.....j'achéterais TOUT sur Marilyn aux enchères....
