Dossier Médical
lot 1257: MARILYN MONROE MEDICAL FILE
A medical file pertaining to cosmetic surgery performed on Marilyn Monroe. The file includes facial X-rays and doctors' notes from the office of Dr. Michael Gurdin, M.D., and the X-ray office of Drs. Conti and Steinberg. Dr. Gurdin's chart on Monroe begins on July 14, 1958, and lists the patient as Marilyn Miller with addresses in New York and Los Angeles. The chief complaint listed is "chin deformity" and goes on to give a medical history that begins in 1950 and ends in 1962. Listed are a 1956 bout of neutropenia in England; 1957 ectopic pregnancy in New York; 1950 cartilage implant in chin that the doctor observed had slowly begun to dissolve. Those with knowledge of the implant procedure have explained that this was done in association with a tip rhinoplasty, a procedure involving the tip of Monroe's nose only, not the bones. The last entry is dated June 7, 1962, and reports a fall at between 2 and 3 a.m. resulting in swelling and tenderness of the nose. Monroe was brought to Dr. Gurdin by her psychoanalyst, Dr. Ralph Greenson. Monroe was referred to Drs. Conti and Steinberg for X-rays. For her visit to the radiologists she was given the alias "Miss Joan Newman," and that name appears on the paperwork with Monroe's Brentwood home address. Six X-rays appear in the folder: a frontal facial bones X-ray; a smaller X-ray that is a composite of the right and left sides of her nasal bones; and four small dental X-rays into the roof of Monroe's mouth, looking upwards toward the nasal bones. The conclusion, written by Dr. Conti and dated June 7, 1962, is that there was no damage to Monroe's nose due to her fall. A more recent evaluation of the X-rays indicates a very minute hairline fracture of this bone. Monroe had turned 36 less than a week earlier. On June 8, the following day, Monroe was fired from the film Something's Got To Give (20th Century Fox).
Estimate: $20 000 - 30 000

Marilyn Monroe a eu recours à la chirurgie esthétique / Plastic Surgery
Marilyn Monroe a eu recours à la chirurgie esthétique
par Reuters le 8 octobre 2013
en ligne sur yahoo.fr / online yahoo.com
LOS ANGELES, Californie (Reuters) - Un mythe s'effondre: Marilyn Monroe, star absolue du cinéma américain dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle et canon de la beauté féminine, a eu recours au bistouri du chirurgien esthétique pour corriger apparemment un léger défaut à son menton.
Telle est la thèse défendue par la maison d'enchères Julien's Auctions, de Beverly Hills (Californie), qui mettra à l'encan les notes d'un médecin accompagnées de six clichés aux rayons X de sa patiente concernant la période comprise entre 1950 et 1962.
Le vendeur, anonyme jusqu'ici, affirme avoir reçu ces documents à titre de cadeau du Dr Michael Gurdin, chirurgien esthétique de Hollywood.
"Personne ne pensait vraiment que Marilyn Monroe avait eu recours à la chirurgie esthétique. Il y avait bien des rumeurs ici et là, mais on pensait qu'elle incarnait la beauté à l'état naturel, c'était impossible à croire", explique Martin Nolan, directeur exécutif de Julien's Auctions. Il ajoute: "A cette époque, dans les années 1950, la chirurgie esthétique était très peu courante, elle en était à ses balbutiements."
Le dossier médical de l'actrice de "Certains l'aiment chaud" et "Les Hommes préfèrent les blondes" signale à la rubrique Principale récrimination: "déformation du menton". Il fait référence à un implant de cartilage au menton réalisé en 1950, qui a été rapidement absorbé, note le chirurgien.
Les rayons X sont datés du 7 juin 1962, soit deux mois avant la mort de la comédienne des suites d'une overdose de barbituriques à l'âge de 36 ans.
Marilyn Monroe plastic surgery notes, X-rays up for auction

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A physician's notes on Marilyn Monroe that indicate that the Hollywood sex symbol had undergone cosmetic surgery will be up for sale next month along with a set of her X-rays, an auction house said on Tuesday.
A folder containing notes and X-rays of Marilyn Monroe
by Hollywood plastic surgeon Michael Gurdin
is seen in this handout photo provided by Julien's Auction
in Beverly Hills, California, October, 7, 2013.
The set of six X-rays and a file of doctors' notes that offer a partial medical history of the "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" actress from 1950 to 1962, are expected to fetch between $15,000 and $30,000 at auction on November 9-10, said Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, California.
The notes written by Hollywood plastic surgeon Michael Gurdin appear to confirm speculation that Monroe, who epitomized glamour and set a standard of movie star beauty during the latter part of Hollywood's golden era, went under the knife for cosmetic reasons. The seller, who is so far unnamed, received the items as a gift from Gurdin.
Notes written by Hollywood plastic surgeon Michael Gurdin appear to confirm speculation
that Marilyn Monroe went under the knife for cosmetic reasons .
"Nobody really thought about Marilyn Monroe having plastic surgery. It was always speculation - did she or didn't she?" said Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien's Auctions. "They thought she was such a natural beauty, they didn't want to believe."
Gurdin's notes include references to a 1950 cartilage implant in Monroe's chin, which he observed to have slowly begun to dissolve. Monroe's biggest films, such as 1953's "How to Marry a Millionaire," 1955's "The Seven Year Itch" and 1959's "Some Like It Hot," were all shot after 1950. "Also at that time, going back to the 1950s, people didn't go for plastic surgery procedures," Nolan added. "This is very, very new."
THE BROKEN NOSE MYSTERY
The X-rays are dated June 7, 1962, after Monroe saw Gurdin following a late night fall and two months before the actress would die at age 36 from an overdose of barbiturates. The death was ruled a probable suicide.
Monroe would also be fired by studio 20th Century Fox from the unfinished film "Something's Got to Give" the following day for her constant absences.
The X-rays include Monroe's frontal facial bones, a composite right and left X-ray of the sides of her nasal bones and dental X-rays of the roof of her mouth.
A set of three chest X-rays of Monroe from 1954 sold for $45,000 at a 2010 auction.
A self-published memoir by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Norman Leaf in 2010 claimed that Monroe underwent cosmetic surgery on her chin in 1950, citing the same notes made by Gurdin, Leaf's medical partner. Leaf also states in his memoir that Monroe underwent a slight rhinoplasty procedure on the tip of her nose.
A radiologist's notes included in the lot determined that there was no damage to Monroe's nose from the fall, but a recent evaluation of the X-rays found a minute fracture, the auction house said.
Doctors used the name "Joan Newman" as Monroe's alias on the X-rays which list her height as 5 feet, 6 inches and her weight as 115 lb (52 kg).
Gurdin's notes were first drawn up in 1958 when the actress complained about a "chin deformity" and the note listed her married name, Marilyn Miller. She was married to playwright Arthur Miller from 1956 to 1961. The notes also indicate that Monroe suffered from neutropenia, a low level of a white blood cell type, in 1956 while in England and had an ectopic pregnancy in 1957.

26/06/1959 Marilyn quitte le Lenox Hill Hospital
Le 26 juin 1959, Marilyn Monroe quitte -en compagnie de son mari Arthur Miller- l'hôpital Lenox Hill de New York (situé dans Manhattan), après y être restée 4 jours et d'y avoir subie une opération de l'endomètre par le Dr Mortimer Rodgers. Marilyn et Arthur regagnent leur appartement new-yorkais où Marilyn va se reposer.

On 1959, June 26th, Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller are leaving Lenox Hill Hospital (Manhattan, New York) after her gynecological surgery. She is returning home to recuperate from a gynecological operation performed June 23rd by Dr Mortimer Rodgers. Miller described the operation as "corrective."
28/06/1961 Marilyn entre à l'hôpital
Le 28 juin 1961, c'est accompagnée de Joe DiMaggio et de May Reis (sa secrétaire) que Marilyn Monroe, le visage caché par un oreiller, entre au Polyclinical Hospital de Manhattan, à New York, après avoir souffert de violentes douleurs de troubles digestifs les mois précédents. C'est ainsi que, pour les journalistes, elle entre à l'hôpital pour des "désordres intestinaux mineurs". Mais en réalité, les médecins lui découvrent une angiocholite (une infection de la bile des voies biliaires) et doit être opérée d'urgence. L'opération a lieu le lendemain, le 29 juin 1961. Durant son hospitalisation, Joe DiMaggio viendra lui rendre visite quotidiennement.
C'est la quatrième hospitalisation de Marilyn en cinq mois.

11/07/1961 Sortie du Polyclinical Hospital
Le 11 juillet 1961 à New York, Marilyn Monroe, accompagnée de John Springer, quitte le Polyclinical Hospital de Manhattan, après avoir subi l'ablation de la vésicule biliaire. Tantôt souriante, tantôt appeurée, amaigrie et fragilisée (elle sort dans un fauteuil roulant, avant de se lever), Marilyn quitte l'hôpital deux semaines après y avoir été admise. Comme toujours, la presse est à l'affût, mais Marilyn garde le sourire; elle est escortée par des policiers pour affronter la cohue des 200 photographes, journalistes et admirateurs.
On July 11, 1961 in New York, Marilyn Monroe, with John Springer, leaves the Polyclinical Hospital in Manhattan after surgery to remove the gallbladder. Sometimes smiling, sometimes frighten, thin and fragile (she comes out in a wheelchair, before to get up), Marilyn leaves the hospital two weeks after being admitted. As always, the press is on the lookout, but Marilyn still smiling. She is escorted by police officers to face the mob of 200 photographers, journalists and fans.

2/ 'Motion Picture' d'octobre 1961
Auparavant, Marilyn avait appelé la photographe Eve Arnold de l'hôpital car le magazine "Good Housekeeping" souhaitait faire un article sur son coiffeur Kenneth Battelle. Eve Arnold retrouve Marilyn le jour de sa sortie d'hôpital, dans son appartement new-yorkais au 444 East sur la 57ème Rue, pour la séance photos.
Eve Arnold: "Marilyn et Keneth firent les fous devant l'objectif, elle le taquinait parce qu'il ne montrait que son profil le plus photogénique. Nous n'avons fait qu'une bobine. Une seule photographie était nécessaire et je ne voulais pas fatiguer Marilyn. (...) Ce fut ma dernière entrevue avec Marilyn et la dernière fois que je la photographiais."
Eve Arnold et Marilyn ont convenu de retravailler à nouveau ensemble: la photographe venait de signer un contrat avec le "Sunday Times" en Angleterre et voulait soumettre ultérieurement à la rédaction un reportage photos avec Marilyn. Mais les deux femmes ne se revirent jamais.
Previously, Marilyn called the photographer Eve Arnold from the hospital because the magazine "Good Housekeeping" wanted to do an article on her hairdresser Kenneth Battelle. Eve Arnold meets Marilyn the day of hospital discharge, in her New York apartment on 444 East 57th Street, for the shoot.
Eve Arnold: "Marilyn and Kenneth played up for the camera, she teased him about his showing the more photogenic side of his face. We did just one roll of the film. One photograph was necessary and I did not want to tire Marilyn. (...) This was the last time O saw her and the last time I photographed her".
Eve Arnold and Marilyn agreed to work together again: the photographer had just signed a contract with the "Sunday Times" in England and would later submit in writing a report photos with Marilyn. But the two women never met again.

1/08/1957 Marilyn entre à l'hôpital
Marilyn Monroe, allongée sur un brancard et cachée sous un long drap, entre à l'hôpital de Manhattan le 1er août 1957 après avoir parcouru 100 miles (environ 160 km) en ambulance en partant de sa maison de Long Island. Marilyn, alors enceinte, eut quelques complications et entre donc à l'hôpital afin d'éviter une fausse couche. Son mari Arthur Miller l' accompagna (on le voit en train de descendre les bagages) et quitta l'hôpital six heures après l'admission de sa femme, attendant qu'elle aille mieux.
10/08/1957 Marilyn quitte l'hôpital
Se montrant disponible comme toujours, Marilyn Monroe et son mari Arthur Miller, discutent avec les reporters venus nombreux à la sortie d'hôpital de Marilyn le 10 août 1957 à Manhattan (au coeur de New York). Elle passa 9 jours à l'hôpital, après avoir été admise en urgence pour des complications touchant sa grossesse; malheureusement les docteurs ne purent sauver l'enfant que Marilyn portait. Elle apparaît ici souriante et aimable avec les nombreux admirateurs et les journalistes, et insista pour marcher jusqu'à l'ambulance qui la reconduit chez elle, afin de montrer qu'elle est bien remise.

7/11/1954 Marilyn hospitalisée
Marilyn Monroe est hospitalisée le 7 novembre 1954 au Cedars Hospital of Lebanon de Los Angeles pour subir une opération gynécologique le lendemain. Joe DiMaggio lui rend visite.
Les images (les photos et la séquence filmée tournés ce jour là) montrent une Marilyn au naturel, sans maquillage, loin du monde de strass et paillettes d'Hollywood, au regard triste, semblant très fragile et perturbée, subissant la traque des médias photographes et caméras qui la suivent et la shootent avec leur appareils sans répit ni pitié; Marilyn restant totalement silencieuse, mais se cachant le visage derrière son col de manteau et tournant la tête contre le mur, comme un petit animal sans défense traqué par des chasseurs armés.

6/05/1952 Marilyn opérée de l'appendicite
En mai 1952 Marilyn Monroe est opérée de l'appendicite à Los Angeles. Pendant sa convalescence, elle reçoit un reporter photographe dans sa chambre d'hôpital, où on la découvre en train de lire une carte de Joe Di Maggio, qu'elle fréquente depuis quelques mois. A côté de son lit, se trouve un bouquet de roses envoyées par Joe. Marilyn avait eu des douleurs à l'appendice en mars de la même année, mais étant alors en plein tournage de Monkey Business, l'opération fut reportée en mai.
