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.
Length, 6.75 inches

By Napier, no. MMF889.

In the glamorous 20th Century Fox 1953 promotional photo shoot, Monroe posed in the earrings wearing a burgundy satin evening gown designed by William Travilla.
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.

A black velvet studio evening gown from the Marilyn Monroe production The Fireball (1950, Bert E. Friedlob Productions), with a bias label inscribed "M. Monroe 1 27 3 0396." The floor-length gown features a plunging neckline front zipper and tie, as well as three hook and eye closures. Also included is a matching black velvet belt and a loose shoulder pad.
Monroe has a very small role in the film, which premiered in Los Angeles on October 7, 1950, less than a week before her watershed performance in All About Eve (20th Century Fox, 1950) premiered in New York. She plays Polly, one of several women vying for the attention of roller-skating champion Johnny Casar (Mickey Rooney). As usual, she stands out as a vixen who loves him only for his fame and success.
The gown is seen worn in a publicity photo used to promote the film and also possibly worn in an early photo session with photographer, Ed Clark (photos available upon request).
Includes a DVD of the film and an edition of the book Monroe: Her Life in Pictures by James Spada (New York: Doubleday, 1982).

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.

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:

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."

Lot 89001: A Marilyn Monroe Unusual Inscribed 'Frame Glass' to Arthur Miller, Circa 1960.
A black and white photograph of the star circa 1956, looking wistful, housed in a black wooden frame with the glass signed by her in red wax pencil "I know when / I am not there / for you -- !!!" with her added line marks below forming what look like "X's" or "M's" or both but hard to decipher; consigned directly by the daughters of Aaron Frosch [Monroe's attorney] who said that when their father was handling MM's divorce from Arthur Miller, she gave Frosch a number of items she didn't want anymore, including this photograph which she evidently inscribed to Miller as an apology; interestingly, MM wrote this note with a colored wax pencil, the same kind she used to cross out images of herself on contact sheets that she didn't like; also intriguing to speculate about the photograph itself: it was likely a favorite of hers or Miller's and it was probably hanging somewhere in the couple's home where MM knew Miller would see her message on it. (Please note the inscription has changed to an orangish color and it's faded due to age.)
