Inscribed by the future Marilyn Monroe, among other classmates, on verso, “To a swell, nice & perfect girl Norma Jeane Baker” with “41” possibly written below her name.

Lot 742: MARILYN MONROE VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHS
 A group of three vintage original black and white photographs of Marilyn Monroe at the Honolulu International airport in Hawaii during her honeymoon with Joe DiMaggio in 1954. The photographs were taken by a photographer who was tipped off that Monroe and DiMaggio were waiting in a secluded area of the airport. He and a friend, who was stationed in Hawaii with the Navy, went to photograph the newlyweds. The photographer gave the photographs he could not use to the friend, who kept them in his photo book of his time during the war and later sold the photographs at auction. Presumably, these photographs were never released for print. Monroe's thumb is bandaged, and some have accused DiMaggio of inflicting the injury. One of the images can be found in the biography Marilyn: The Passion and the Paradox by Lois Banner (New York: Bloomsbury, 2012).

Lot 821: MARILYN MONROE CECIL BEATON TRIPTYCH
A three-panel sterling silver custom-made Cartier frame, gifted to Marilyn Monroe by Nedda and Joshua Logan. The center frame houses a black and white silver gelatin print of the portrait Cecil Beaton took of Monroe in 1956. This image is purported to be Monroe’s favorite image of herself. The portrait is mounted to board and signed on matte by Beaton. The center frame is engraved at the top “For Marilyn Monroe Miller” and at the bottom “Love Nedda and Joshua Logan.” Joshua Logan directed Monroe in her 1956 film Bus Stop . The left and right frames house a handwritten letter from Beaton describing Monroe. It reads in part, “But the real marvel is the paradox – somehow we know that this extraordinary performance is pure charade, a little girl’s caricature of Mae West. The puzzling truth is that Miss Monroe is a make-believe siren, unsophisticated as a Rhine maiden, innocent as a sleepwalker. She is an urchin pretending to be grown-up, having the time of her life in mother’s moth-eaten finery, tottering about in high-heeled shoes and sipping gingerale as though it were a champagne cocktail. There is an otherworldly, a winsome naiveté about the child’s eyes… .” The portrait can be seen in images of Monroe’s living room, where it was housed from 1956 until the actress’ death in 1962.
Please note: This item will not be available for shipment or pick-up until January 1, 2015.

Qui ne connaît donc pas cette photographie de Marilyn Monroe, dans un studio de fond noir, les mains derrière les hanches, yeux mi-clos et bouche entrouverte, portant cette robe lamée or ?
Il s'agit de l'une des tenues symboliques dans laquelle est représentée Marilyn Monroe: une robe lamée or échancrée jusqu'au nombril et au dos nu.

Who doesn't know this photograph of Marilyn Monroe, in a black background studio, hands behind hips, eyes half-closed and mouth half-open, wearing this gold lamé dress ? This is one of the symbolic outfits in which Marilyn Monroe is represented: a gold lamé dress scooped up to the navel and open back.

Marilyn et la robe
Marilyn and the gown


 Cette robe en lamé or a été conçue par le créateur et couturier de la 20th Century Fox, William "Billy" Travilla pour le film Gentlemen prefer blondes (Les hommes préfèrent les blondes) tourné en 1952. On raconte que la robe fut littéralement cousue sur le corps de Marilyn, car elle ne possède pas de boutons, mais une fine fermeture éclaire dans le dos.
This gold lamé dress was designed by 20th Century Fox designer and fashion designer William "Billy" Travilla for the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, filmed in 1952. It is said that the dress was literally sewn onto Marilyn's body, because it does not have buttons, but a thin zipper in the back.

Le 08 novembre 1952, Marilyn passe les essais coiffure et maquillage pour le film; sur l'une des photographies servant de test, elle porte la robe. Mais les essayages de la robe ont lieu le 12 novembre 1952 où elle porte la robe avec et sans ceinture.
On November 08, 1952, Marilyn takes the hairdressing and make-up tests for the film; in one of the photographs used as a test, she is wearing the dress. But the fittings of the dress takes place on November 12, 1952 where she wears the dress with and without a belt.

William_Travilla-dress_gold-1952-film-GPB-sc05-film  Dans le film, la scène dans laquelle Marilyn porte cette robe est très courte, et on ne l'aperçoit que de dos, derrière une vitre ! La scène fut sans doute écourtée car la tenue semblait bien trop provocante et l'image représentant la star dans cette tenue sur grand écran, fut loin de plaire aux censeurs. D'autant que Marilyn danse -avec Charles Coburn- en tortillant ses fesses de façon suggestive.
In the film, the scene in which Marilyn wears this dress is very brief, and we can only see her from the back, behind a window ! The scene was probably cut short because the outfit seemed far too provocative and the image of the star in this outfit on the big screen, was far from pleasing the censors. Especially since Marilyn dances -with Charles Coburn- wiggling her buttocks suggestively.

 Néanmoins, Marilyn porte la robe pour plusieurs photographies en studio en 1953, servant de supports publicitaires au film (photographies de Gene Kornman, Ed Clark, John Florea, Frank Worth).
 Nevertheless, Marilyn wears the dress for several studio photographs in 1953, serving as advertising media for the film (photographs by Gene Kornman, Ed Clark, John Florea, Frank Worth).

 goldlame_losangelespressclubAprès le tournage des "Hommes préfèrent les blondes", au cours de l'année 1953, Marilyn Monroe porte la robe pour la remise du prix de "Miss Press Club", organisé par le Los Angeles Press Club. Après la cérémonie officielle, où Marilyn portait une robe noire, une remise du prix est organisée de manière officieuse en studio, où le journaliste Walter Winchell pose aux côtés de Marilyn dans un studio; la star portant cette fois-ci la robe lamée. Sans doute cette série de photographies furent-elles prises dans les studios de la Fox et peut être, pendant le tournage de Gentlemen prefer blondes - Bien que la coiffure de Marilyn soit différente, car dans la scène du film, ses cheveux sont au carré lissé. Mais le décoletté de la robe descend encore jusqu'au nombril.
After the filming of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", in 1953, Marilyn Monroe wears the dress for the "Miss Press Club" award ceremony, organized by the Los Angeles Press Club. After the official ceremony, where Marilyn wore a black dress, an award ceremony is unofficially organized in the studio, where the journalist Walter Winchell poses alongside Marilyn in a studio; the star this time wearing the lamé dress. No doubt this series of photographs were taken in the studios of Fox and perhaps, during the filming of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes - Although Marilyn's hairstyle is different, because in the scene of the film, her hair is squared smooth. But the neckline of the dress still goes down to the navel.

goldlame_photoplayLe 17 février 1953, Marilyn Monroe emprunte à nouveau à la maison de production cette remarquable robe pour la porter lors de la cérémonie organisée par le magazine Photoplay de "Rapid Rise to Stardom in 1952" ("L'accès le plus rapide à la célébrité pour l'année 1952") où elle reçoit le prix "The New Star Award" ("Le prix de la nouvelle star") au Beverly Hills Hotel.
La robe a alors été retouchée pour l'occasion: le décoletté fut quelque peu remonté, pour descendre juqu'à la poitrine et non plus jusqu'au nombril.
On February 17, 1953, Marilyn Monroe borrows this remarkable dress from the production studio again to wear it during the ceremony organized by Photoplay magazine of "Rapid Rise to Stardom in 1952" where she receives "The New Star Award" at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
The dress was then retouched for the occasion: the neckline was slightly raised, to go down to the chest and no longer to the navel.

 William_Travilla-dress_gold-1953-02-09-photoplay-2Lors de la cérémonie, Marilyn va déclencher un tollé dont l'origine n'est autre que cette fameuse robe, qui scandalisa la prude actrice Joan Crawford, présente dans l'assistance, qui dira dans la presse: "C'était comme un spectacle burlesque (...) La publicité est allée trop loin. Elle fait l'erreur de croire sa publicité. Quelqu'un devrait lui faire voir la lumière." Et le journaliste James Bacon rapportera que "lorsque Marilyn se tortilla devant l'assistance pour rejoindre le podium, son derrière ressemblait à deux petits chiots se bataillant sous une feuille de soie".
During the ceremony, Marilyn will trigger an uproar whose origin is none other than this famous dress, which scandalized the prudish actress Joan Crawford, present in the audience,who will say into the press that: "It was like a burlesque show. (...) The publicity has gone too far. She is making the mistake of believing her publicity. Someone should make her see the light." And journalist James Bacon will say that "when Marilyn squirmed in front of the audience to reach the podium, her buttocks looked like two little puppies fighting under a sheet of silk".

Et pourtant, Joan Crawford avait porté une robe bien similaire en 1934 pour le film La femme de sa vie  (photos publicitaires de George Hurrell), une création du costumier Adrian: le même tissu drapé lamé or, au décolleté profond et au dos entièrement dénudé.
However, Joan Crawford has worn a very similar dress in 1934 for the film No More Ladies (advertising photos by George Hurrell), a creation of the costume designer Adrian: the same draped gold lamé pattern, with a deep neckline and completely bare back.

Naissance de la robe de Travilla
Birth of the Travilla dress


William_Travilla-dress_gold_inspiration-ginger_rogers-1951-dream_boat-1  William Travilla s'inspira d'une de ses créations antérieures pour la Fox: en 1951, il était en effet chargé des costumes pour le film Un grand séducteur (Dream Boat) avec Ginger Rogers. Le couturier créa ainsi pour l'actrice Ginger Rogers une robe lamée à fines bretelles, plissée et agrémentée d'un pan en biais.
William Travilla was inspired by one of his earlier creations for the Fox: in 1951, he was indeed in charge of the costumes for the film Dream Boat with Ginger Rogers. The couturier thus created for the actress Ginger Rogers a lamé dress with thin straps, pleated and embellished with a slanted pan.

Quand la Fox demande à Travilla de créer les costumes pour Les hommes préfèrent les blondes en 1952, Travilla propose - parmi tous les autres dessins - l'esquisse de la robe créée auparavant pour Ginger. Mais la robe n'est pas retenue pour le film.
When Fox asked Travilla to design a number of costumes for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes in 1952, Travilla offered offered - among all the other designs - the sketch of the dress previously created for Ginger. But the dress is not chosen for the film.

La robe et ses répliques faites par Travilla
The dress and replicas made by Travilla


Le couturier William Travilla a créé beaucoup de "répliques" de la robe portée par Marilyn, que pour beaucoup de personnes, il était difficile de savoir ce qu'était devenue LA robe originale de Marilyn. Il a autant créé des répliques à l'identique de la même couleur or, que des répliques d'autres couleurs; d'après les mesures exactes de l'originale. Cependant, ces répliques sont différentes de la robe portée par Marilyn au niveau du croisement du décolleté au nombril: celle de Marilyn comportait cinq genre de perles en forme de croix (en fait, c'est une broche ornementale de 5 boules en laiton), que l'on ne retrouve pas sur les répliques qui possèdent un noeud.
The costume designer William Travilla created many "replicas" of the dress worn by Marilyn, which for many people, it was difficult to know what had become of THE original dress of Marilyn. He created identical replicas of the same gold color as much as replicas of other colors; based on exact measurements of the original.
However, these replicas are different from the dress worn by Marilyn at the place of the crossing of the neckline at the navel: that of Marilyn had five kinds of pearls in the shape of a cross (in fact, it is an ornamental brooch of 5 brass balls), that one does not find on the replicas which have a bow.

A la vente aux enchères de "Profiles In History" du 11 décembre 2018, la robe, estimée entre 100 000 et 150 000 dollars, sera vendue 100 000 dollars. Il s'agit de la robe originale portée par Marilyn, car elle comportait une étiquette avec son nom "1-64-12-1370 Marilyn Monroe A-698-11" mais a subi plusieurs restaurations.
At the "Profiles In History" Auction on December 11, 2018, the dress, estimated at between $ 100,000 and $ 150,000, will sell for $ 100,000. This is the original dress worn by Marilyn, because it had a label with her name "1-64-12-1370 Marilyn Monroe A-698-11" but has undergone several restorations.

Même style
Same style

perso_robe_or_ph_bb_1952_7_hollywoodrq8Attention, cette robe n'est pas à confondre avec une autre robe du même style que Marilyn porta. En effet, les tests costumes où Marilyn porte la fameuse robe lamée or pour le film Les hommes préfèrent les blondes ont lieu le 12 novembre 1952. Et Marilyn porta une robe étrangement identique (ou est-ce juste un bustier) -et pourtant aussi bien différente- au ton doré et plissée, assortie d'un fourreau sur les épaules sur certains clichés, pour une séance photos en studio, et au vue de la coiffure de Marilyn (cheveux courts aux mèches ondulées au rouleau), daterait du début de l'année 1952.
Please note, this dress is not to be confused with another dress of the same style that Marilyn wore. Indeed, the costume tests where Marilyn wears the famous gold lamé dress for the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes took place on November 12, 1952. And Marilyn wore a strangely identical dress (or is it just a bustier) - and yet also very different - in golden tone and pleated, matched with a sheath on the shoulders on some shots, for a photo shoot in a studio, and which, in view of Marilyn's hairstyle (short hair with wavy locks in the roll), would date from the beginning of 1952.

La pin-up américaine Eve Meyer a posé vêtue dans ce qui semble le même vêtement (robe ou bustier) pour la couverture du magazine américain Man's Magazine de février 1954 (l'article se nomme même "Frisco's Marilyn Monroe").

Autour du film Monkey Business et Marilyn

Chérie, je me sens rajeunir 
Secrets de tournage ... 
secrets-tournage 
... et anecdotes

  • Marilyn est Lois, secrétaire
    1952_MonkeyBusiness_Dressed_GreenDress_020_020_a1Il s'agit du 17ème film de Marilyn Monroe, où elle se situe en 4ème position au générique. Elle joue le rôle de Lois, une secrétaire pas très futée ni compétente: elle ne semble par exemple pas savoir taper à la machine. Lorsque Edwina croit découvrir une sorte de liaison entre Barnaby et sa secrétaire Lois, Edwina et lui échangent ce dialogue révélateur sur le rôle de blonde bien roulé attribué comme toujours à Marilyn :
    Edwina : – Oh you mean that little pin-up girl? Very cute!
    Barnaby : – Sort of. But half infant.
    Edwina : – Not the half that's visible!
    (– Oh tu veux dire cette petite pin-up? Très jolie en effet! – Assez. Mais à moitié gamine. – Ben pas la moitié qu'on peut voir!)
  • Scènes de Marilyn dans le film
    >> (11ème minute du film) Barnaby doit se rendre chez le grand chef et la secrétaire de celui-ci, Lois, l'accueille et lui dénude même une de ses jambes, en fait pour lui montrer un prototype de bas sans couture qu'il a mis au point et dont elle est très satisfaite. Barnaby s'étonne qu'elle soit arrivée si tôt. « Oh yes, Mr. Oxley's been complaining about my punctuation » (Oh oui, M. Oxley s'est plaint de ma ponctuation).
    >>
    Quelques minutes plus tard, elle entre dans le bureau du grand chef qui lui donne un document à faire taper.
    >> Lois, avec le directeur et Barnaby, se rend au laboratoire et assiste ensuite à la discussion ainsi qu'au cirque du singe rajeuni.
    >> Elle reçoit l'ordre d'Oxley de retrouver Barnaby qui a soudainement quitté le bureau.
    >> Elle le retrouve puis part en vadrouille avec lui, dans une assez longue séquence: voiture de sport et cheveux au vent, patin à roulettes, piscine et maillot de bain sexy. Cela se termine même par un bisou sur la joue de Barnaby (« I'm crazy about you, doc! »).
    >> Après avoir bu la potion magique, Edwina se rue presque sur Lois en raison des marques de rouge à lèvres découvertes là où il ne fallait pas.
    >> Au téléphone avec Oxley.
    >> À la séance du conseil d'administration où elle gifle Oxley et Barnaby.
    >> Dans les scènes finales au laboratoire lorsque Edwina arrive avec le bébé et lorsque tous observent si celui-ci, Barnaby, va regrandir...
  • Retrouvailles passées et futures
    Marilyn Monroe
    retrouvera quelques acteurs du film Monkey Business, pour leur donner à nouveau la réplique dans d'autres films:
    >> Hugh Marlowe: All about Eve (Ève) en 1950
    >> Ginger Rogers: We're not married (Cinq mariages à l'essai) en 1952
    >> Charles Coburn: Gentlemen prefer blonds (Les hommes préfèrent les blondes) en 1953
    Marilyn retrouvera par ailleurs le réalisateur Howard Hawks qui la dirigera dans Gentlemen prefer blonds (Les hommes préfèrent les blondes) en 1953 ; celui-ci aura aussi réalisé un des sketches de O' Henry's Full House (La Sarabande des pantins) en 1952, mais pas celui avec Marilyn.
  • Solitude
    Comme sur ses tournages précédents, Marilyn préfère s'isoler du reste de l'équipe, à l'exception du costumier William Travilla, qu'elle retrouve avec plaisir, et qui sera en charge des plus beaux costumes dans les prochains films avec Marilyn. Entre les prises, elle répète son rôle avec ferveur, même si le nombre de ses répliques dans le film reste limité. En fait, elle a une angoisse terrible de décevoir autrui, qui la poursuivra toute sa vie.
  • Difficultés et Bonheur
    1952_MonkeyBusiness_Dressed_YellowDress_021_018Marilyn déteste la robe à volant plissée dans laquelle on la fait jouer dans le film. Mais surtout, le tournage lui est très pénible car dès le début des prises de vues, elle souffre de douleurs abdominales, signes d'une crise d'appendicite. Mais elle décide de repousser l'opération et ne tient qu'avec une bonne dose d'antibiotiques pour ne pas retarder le tournage. L'intervention aura finalement lieu 28 avril 1952 , une fois que ses scènes auront été bouclées. C'est également pendant le tournage qu'éclate l'affaire du calendrier où elle posa nue trois ans auparavant.
    Malgré tout ces déboires, Marilyn fréquente de plus en plus un certain Joe DiMaggio, qu'elle rencontra l'année précédente. Au studio, elle passe de longs moments au téléphone avec lui, n'hésitant pas à faire attendre tout l'équipe. Et pour le dernier jour de tournage de Marilyn, Joe vient lui rendre visite sur le plateau.
  •  Un scénario remanié
    Au début des années 1950, le code de censure en vigueur à Hollywood était tellement sévère, qu'un scénario aussi sulfureux que Monkey Business pouvait s'attirer des ennuis. D'ailleurs, une injonction visant à en supprimer les réparties les plus suggestives, poussa les scénaristes à retravailler les dialogues. C'est donc un script nettement édulcoré que le réalisateur Howard Hawks commence à tourner le 5 mars 1952 dans les studios de la Fox.

  • Ava Gardner versus Ginger Rogers
    film_mb_Annex_GrantCaryMonkey_Business_02Le film réunit un casting de rêve: Cary Grant et Ginger Rogers, considérés comme les deux grandes stars de l'époque, et la prometteuse Marilyn Monroe. Mais le réalisateur Howard Hawks voit rouge car s'il est ravi de retravailler pour la cinquième fois avec son acteur fétiche Cary Grant, il n'en va pas de même pour celle qui interprète sa femme dans le film, Ginger Rogers. Le réalisateur souhaitait en en effet confier le rôle d'Edwina à une jeune actrice, idéalement le brune et somptueuse Ava Gardner. Mais, en partie parce que Cary Grant refuse d'être marié à l'écran avec une femme beaucoup plus jeune que lui, les studios imposent Ginger Rogers, âgée de 41 ans. Dépité, Hawks se vengera de cette décision en se montrant infernal avec la pauvre comédienne durant tout le tournage.
  • L'expression 'monkey business'
    Cette expression doit se comprendre comme combines ou singeries. Dans la littérature anglophone, l'expression 'Monkey Business' est l'équivalent en français de l'expression 'Monnaie de singe' (c’est-à-dire une monnaie sans valeur).

  • Un film décalé
    La voix off dans le générique du début est celle du réalisateur Howard Hawks. En effet, le film débute avec un Cary Grant qui veut entrer trop tôt sur le plateau de tournage et qui se fait tout de suite arrêter par le metteur en scène : « Pas encore, Gary ! » (le doublage français ayant prononcé "Gary" au lieu de "Cary"). Cela lance immédiatement le ton quelque peu décalé et humoristique du film.

  • Les femmes au second plan
    1952_MonkeyBusiness_Dressed_YellowDress_OnSet_withMonkey_010iDans le film, selon le quiproquo important du scénario, c'est la singe femelle Esther qui incidemment invente la potion magique, mais dans la bande-annonce américaine c'est le mâle Rudolf qui est mentionné ! A croire qu'à Hollywood, on enlève tout pouvoir de création aux femmes, même animales...

A Fine Romance

Vidéo (montage photos) et paroles
de la chanson
A Fine Romance
(auteurs: Jerome Kern et paroles de Dorothy Fields)
interprétée par Marilyn Monroe en 1954

A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, and I'll take jello
You're calmer than the seals
In the Arctic Ocean
At least they flap their fins
To express emotion
A fine romance with no quarrels
With no insults and all morals
I've never mussed the crease
In your blue serge pants
I never get the chance
This is a fine romance
A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
True love should have the thrills that a healthy crime has
We don't have the thrills that the march of time has
A fine romance, with no glitches
A fine romance, with no bitches
You're just as
hard to land as the 'Isle de France'
I haven't got a chance
My heart's not made in plastic
You're the reason I'm sarcastic
Cause this is a fine
Fine romance!


Traduction

Un amour parfait

Un amour parfait, mon cher ami
Tu choisis l'amour, je choisirai la gelée
Tu es plus calme que les phoques de l'Atlantique
Au moins ils tapent leurs nageoires pour montrer leurs émotions

Un amour parfait, sans dispute
Sans insultes, en toute moralité
Je n'ai jamais froissé de plis sur ton pantalon bleu
Je n'en ai jamais eu l'occasion, voilà un amour parfait !

Un amour parfait, sans dispute
Un amour parfait, voilà mes amis ce que c'est
Manquer la moitié des frissons d'un crime sain
Nous ne ressentons pas la moitié des frissons de la marche du temps

Un amour parfait, sans clichés
Un amour parfait, sans pincements
Tu es aussi dur à atteindre que l'Ile de France
Je n'ai aucune chance
Mon coeur n'est pas de plastique,
tu es la raison pour laquelle je suis sarcastique,
car voilà un amour parfait !
