Lot 0521: "GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES" PHOTO-SHOOT RENTED BRACELET
A gold-plated sterling silver bracelet, designed by Joseff of Hollywood. The bracelet is composed of series of rectangular wirework links of foliate design, enhanced by brilliant-cut simulated diamonds, joined by fluted triangular shaped links with hinged locking clasp and safety chain, and mounted in gold plated sterling silver.
The bracelet was among a set rented for Marilyn Monroe in a series of Fox publicity photos shot by staff photographer Frank Powolny, used to promote the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (Twentieth Century Fox, 1953). The bracelet was ultimately not photographed, but the photoshoot produced legendary images of Monroe wearing the racy gold pleated gown designed by Travilla for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Although the gown was deemed to be too revealing because of its plunging neckline and was cut from the film, Monroe liked it and insisted on wearing it to the 1953 Photoplay Awards ceremony. She also wore it during this photoshoot, together with the rest of the jewelry set, producing some of the most iconic images of Monroe ever captured.

This set is one of two sets made for the photo shoot. Joan Castle had rented two pairs of earrings and other pieces including an engagement ring. One pair never made it back and the other was slightly damaged. This set was the former, which Marilyn had purportedly taken from the set as she was seen wearing them after the film wrapped.

Printemps 1953, Séances en studio par John Florea

Début mars 1953, Marilyn Monroe termine à peine le tournage du film Les Hommes préfèrent les blondes, qu'elle enchaîne quelques jours après avec celui de Comment épouser un millionaire. Dans ces deux films, Marilyn joue le rôle d'une blonde idiote qui souhaite rencontrer un homme riche. Le photographe John Florea, assisté de Gene Trindl, va ainsi mettre en scène Marilyn en blonde séductrice, vêtue des vêtements qu'elle porte dans les deux films (des tenues de William Travilla). Les séances photos prises en studio au printemps 1953, serviront ainsi de support publicitaire pour promouvoir les deux films de la 20th Century Fox. Le magazine américain Collier's publie ainsi un article "Les hommes préfèrent Monroe" en juin 1953 (> voir 27/06/1953 Collier's ) où Marilyn se met dans la peau de son personnage de Lorelei (celui qu'elle tient dans Les hommes préfèrent les blondes) et le magazine Eye publie un article "Marilyn apprend comment épouser un millionaire" en septembre 1953 (> voir 09/1953 Eye ) où le photographe Gene Trindl apprend à Marilyn à se mettre en scène.

At the beginning of March 1953, Marilyn Monroe barely finished shooting the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, that she follows up a few days later with that of How to marry a millionaire. In these two films, Marilyn plays the role of a silly blonde who wants to meet a rich man. Photographer John Florea, assisted by Gene Trindl, will thus portray Marilyn as a seductive blonde, dressed in the clothes she wears in the two movies (outfits by William Travilla). The photoshoots taken in a studio in the spring of 1953 will thus serve as an advertising medium to promote the two 20th Century Fox films. The American magazine Collier's published an article "Gentlemen prefer Monroe" in June 1953 (> see 27/06/1953 Collier's ) where Marilyn puts herself in the skin of her character of Lorelei (the one she holds in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) and Eye magazine publishes an article" Marilyn learns how to marry a millionaire" in September 1953 (> see 09/1953 Eye ) where the photographer Gene Trindl teaches Marilyn how to stage herself.

 MARILYN LEARNS
How to Marry a Millionaire

Marilyn's studio knew what it was doing when it cast her in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. She's first choice on every red-blooded male's list. And in keeping with the avaricious gold-digger she played in that film, Fox is starring her in How to Marry a Millionaire. To make sure she carries on the tradition, a lucky lensman Gene Trindl was called in to teach Marilyn the art of capturing her quarry.
The assignment worked out beautifully. Tarting from the ground up (above), Trindl helped his willing scholar pick the right things to wear, and pointed out the value of mink to set off a girl's personality.

MARILYN APPREND
Comment épouser un millionnaire

Le studio de Marilyn savait ce qu'il faisait lorsqu'ils l'ont choisie pour Les hommes préfèrent les blondes. Elle est le premier choix sur la liste de tous les hommes virils. Et en accord avec la chercheuse d'or avare qu'elle a joué dans ce film, la Fox la fait jouer dans Comment épouser un millionnaire. Pour s'assurer qu'elle perpétue la tradition, un photographe chanceux, Gene Trindl, a été appelé pour enseigner à Marilyn l'art de capturer sa proie.
La mission s'est merveilleusement bien déroulée. En partant de zéro (ci-dessus), Trindl a aidé son érudit volontaire à choisir les bonnes choses à porter et a souligné la valeur du vison pour mettre en valeur la personnalité d'une fille.

Collier's Color Camera
Gentlemen Prefer MONROE

LORELEI LEE is determined little blonde who first appeared durong the 1920s in a hugely successful book, and then a play, called Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. She was dedicated to the proposition. And it was her simple belief that any man with a bank roll was fair game. The fictional Lee became an enduring symbol for female gold diggers. She was put on silent film by Hollywood in 1928 and reincarnated four years ago in a hit Broadway musical. This summer, unprincipled, doll-eyed Lorelei Lee, modernized and brought up to date, will be the motivating force of a new movie to be released by 20th Century-Fox. The present embodiment of the fulsome blonde whom mid-century gentlemen seem to prefer is Marilyn Monroe. "I can't define Lorelei's character," Miss Monroe says, "but I know what's in her mind." On these pages Marilyn shows what she thinks Lorelei thinks about in a specially posed series of photos which reveals the lady's gem-bright mind.

Les hommes préfèrent MONROE

LORELEI LEE est une petite blonde déterminée qui est apparue pour la première fois dans les années 1920 dans un livre à grand succès, puis dans une pièce de théâtre, intitulée Les hommes préfèrent les blondes. Elle s'est consacrée à la proposition. Et c'était sa simple conviction que tout homme avec un bon compte en banque était un jeu équitable. La fictive Lee est devenu un symbole durable pour les chercheuses d'or. Elle a été mise en scène au cinéma muet par Hollywood en 1928 et s'est réincarnée il y a quatre ans dans une comédie musicale à succès à Broadway. Cet été, Lorelei Lee, sans scrupules, aux yeux de poupée, modernisée et remise au goût du jour, sera la force motrice d'un nouveau film qui sortira chez 20th Century-Fox. L'incarnation actuelle de la blonde pulpeuse que les messieurs du milieu du siècle semblent préférer est Marilyn Monroe. "Je ne peux pas définir le caractère de Lorelei", dit Mlle Monroe, "mais je sais ce qu'elle a en tête." Sur ces pages, Marilyn montre ce à quoi elle pense que Lorelei pense dans une série de photos spécialement posées qui révèlent l'esprit brillant de la dame.

Légende photos

  
"J'adore tout simplement le feuillage d'été.
C'est si brillant et frais et la couleur de l'argent"

 
"Une dame préfère être accompagnée par un homme
avec une bonne figure - surtout dans son carnet de banque"

 
"Eh bien, une fille comme moi ne rencontre presque jamais d'hommes vraiment
intéressants. Parfois, mon cerveau est vraiment affamé"

 
"Quand un gentleman s'intéresse à une femme,
elle devrait savoir quelque chose sur son passé"

 
Analysant le personnage de Lorelei Lee, Marilyn Monroe,
qui joue la classique chercheuse d'or à l'écran, déclare :
"Son premier, dernier et seul amour, ce sont les diamants.
Sa philosophie de la vie se résume en une simple déclaration -
" Tout le monde devrait avoir un passe-temps" "
