Clins d'oeil à Marilyn dans "Under the Silver Lake"
Les clins d'oeils à Marilyn au Cinéma
- Under the Silver Lake -
Le film "Under the Silver Lake" contient bon nombre de références à Marilyn Monroe et à l'âge d'or du cinéma Hollywoodien des années 40 à 50. Voici une compilation des références à Marilyn dans le film:
> Sarah, la voisine de Sam (le héros du film), a un petit chien bichon, de même race que celui que possédait Marilyn (Maf):
> Sarah invite Sam à venir prendre un verre chez elle; puis ils regardent le film How To Marry A Millionaire (Comment épouser un millionnaire), allongés côte à côte dans le lit. On découvre trois poupées disposées devant la télévision, qui sont les répliques des personnages tenus par Marilyn, Lauren Bacall et Betty Grable dans le film. Il y a aussi un poster du film accroché au mur:
> Sam se rend compte que l'appartement de Sarah est entièrement vide. Il s'introduit par effraction dans l'appartement et découvre une boîte à chaussure restée dans le placard. Il l'ouvre et découvre plusieurs objets à l'intérieur, dont les trois poupées:
> Sam est dans son canapé, et il entend du bruit à l'extérieur. Il s'avance sur son balcon et découvre Sarah dans la piscine de la résidence, en train de nager nue et l'invitant à la rejoindre. Cette scène est une réplique de celle tournée par Marilyn dans son dernier film Something's Got to Give:
> Chez l'écrivain des fanzines qu'adorent lire Sam, dans la chambre secrète de l'écrivain, les murs sont ornés de coupures de presse; on y découvre la Une du Daily News paru le 6 août 1962, annoncant le décès de Marilyn:
> Dans l'appartement de Sam, sur le mur derrière sa télévision, figure le poster du film Creature of the Black Lagoon, un film sorti en 1954, que l'on retrouve dans le film The Seven Year Itch (Sept ans de réflexion) avec Marilyn (c'est ce film qu'elle va voir au cinéma avec Richard Sherman alias Tom Ewell):
> Sur le frigo de Sam, plusieurs photographies sont disposées: la photo de Sarah qu'il a volé dans la boîte à chaussure après qu'elle ait disparu, mais aussi des photos de Marilyn extraites du film Something's Got to Give:

An original print with a glossy finish, depicting the star in one of her most famous publicity headshots, signed in blue ballpoint ink on the center right side "To Rick, / It's a pleasure to / work with you, / Marilyn Monroe" -- 'Rick' being bit-part actor Dick Ryan (who did sometimes go by 'Rick') who worked in Hollywood from the 1940s to the 1980s; consigned directly by Ryan's family. (Please note there is a dirt smudge on the upper left side and there are very slight dents on the right side seen in raking light only but image and inscription are not affected.) 
Lot 89002: A Marilyn Monroe Signed Black and White Photograph, Circa 1953.
An original print with a glossy finish, depicting the star in one of her well-known cheesecake publicity poses, signed in green fountain pen ink on the center right side "To Dick, / It's a pleasure to work with / you. / Marilyn Monroe" -- 'Dick' being bit-part actor Dick Ryan who worked in Hollywood from the 1940s to the 1980s; consigned directly by Ryan's family. (Please note the inscription is somewhat faded but it looks like the ink was probably running out as MM was signing it.) 
Lot 89003: A Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio Signed Menu from Their Honeymoon, 1954.
From the famous Trader Vic's restaurant in Honolulu where the couple ate dinner during their quick stop while en route to Japan and Korea, signed in blue ballpoint ink on an interior page "The food was wonderful / Marilyn Monroe DiMaggio" and "Lefty O'Doul" [one of DiMaggio's baseball buddies who accompanied them on their trip]; further signed in the same ink on another page of the menu "Joe DiMaggio." (Please note the menu is somewhat wrinkled and yellowed due to age but Monroe's signature is still clear.) 
Lot 89004: A Marilyn Monroe Group of Rare Black and White Snapshots, Circa 1947.
Six total, all original prints with a glossy finish; four taken the same day and two taken other days, all showing MM in an outdoor setting either alone or with Aviv Wardimon (who later changed his last name to 'Blackman'); according to his distant relatives who consigned this lot, he was a security guard at one of the movie studios (most probably 20th Century Fox) who evidently struck up a friendship with the then-starlet as these images seem to indicate; also included is one extra black and white snapshot of Wardimon with actor John Carroll (who is wearing western garb on a movie set) -- coincidentially, Monroe was living with Carroll and his wife at this time. (Please note there is handwriting in blue ink on the verso of some and a faint typed note on another.) 
Lot 89005: A Marilyn Monroe Group of Rare Black and White Photographs, Circa 1947.
Three total, all original prints with a matte finish; all showing MM in an outdoor setting next to Aviv Wardimon (who later changed his last name to 'Blackman'); according to his distant relatives who consigned this lot, he was a security guard at one of the movie studios (most probably 20th Century Fox) who evidently struck up a friendship with the then-starlet as these images seem to indicate; also included is one extra black and white photograph of Wardimon with actor John Carroll (who is wearing a period tuxedo on a movie lot) -- coincidentially, Monroe was living with Carroll and his wife at this time. (Please note there is handwriting in blue or black ink or typed text on the verso of some; there is a small tear on the bottom margin of one; and sadly all were shot somewhat blurry.) 
Lot 89006: A Marilyn Monroe Group of Rare Small Black and White Publicity Photographs, Circa 1947.

(Please note one image has a slight 1" tear on the top margin.)
Lot 89007: A Marilyn Monroe Group of Rare Small Black and White Publicity Photographs, Circa 1947.
Nine total, all original prints with a glossy finish, each depicting the then-starlet wearing bathing suits in typical of-the-era cheesecake poses, some of which are quite uncommon; consigned by the family of Aviv Wardimon (see three previous lots).

La voiture Thunderbird de Marilyn aux enchères
Les 16 et 17 novembre 2018, la vente aux enchères "Icons & Idols: Hollywood" organisée par Julien's Auction contiendra parmis ses lots la voiture Thunderbird que possédait Marilyn Monroe entre 1955 jusqu'en 1962.
La voiture est estimée entre 300 000 et 500 000 $
Sur le site de Julien's est relaté l'histoire de la voiture:
La Thunderbird décapotable de deux portes a été achetée le 20 décembre 1955 à Westport Motors (Westport- dans le Connecticut) sous le nom de sa société "Marilyn Monroe Productions" qu'elle avait créée avec son associé ami et photographe Milton Greene. Certains avancent le fait que la voiture seraitun cadeau de Noël de Greene.
Marilyn est photographiée dans cette voiture avec Arthur Miller en 1956 (série de photos de Paul Schutzer, en route pour le Connecticut) et 1957 (série de photos à New York par Sam Shaw).
On y apprend que Marilyn l'avait offerte, peu de temps avant sa mort survenue le 5 août 1962, à John Strasberg (le fils de Lee et Paula Strasberg, ses mentors de l'Actors Studio) qui fêtait ses 18 ans.
