US$ 700 - 900 - €650 - 840
Twentieth Century-Fox, 1948. Mimeographed manuscript, revised final screenplay by F. Hugh Herbert, 149 pp, February 19, 1947 (with revision pages dated as late as March 4), burgundy leather cover stamped in gilt to upper cover with film's title and "F. Hugh Herbert." Some pages annotated in ink by Wood, who also inscribed her name, character's name address, and phone number on the title page, and some of her dialogue in pencil on the verso of the last page. This was Wood's eighth film, but is better remembered as the movie in which Marilyn Monroe utters her first speaking role.
Lot 206: A Marilyn Monroe signed contract for The Asphalt Jungle
US$ 20,000 - 30,000 - €19,000 - 28,000
Document signed ("Marilyn Monroe"), 2 pp, Hollywood, November 29, 1949, a Twentieth Century-Fox/Screen Actors Guild contract "for Free Lance Players," countersigned and dated on the verso beside Monroe's signature, inscribed in ink on the recto, "12-8-49 M. Monroe / J.S.," with additional partial page stapled to verso.
John Huston's film noir The Asphalt Jungle marked one of Marilyn Monroe's most important early, breakthrough roles, as gangster Emmerich's (Louis Calhern's) much younger moll, Angela. At the time, Monroe was virtually unknown and this contract states she received only $300 per week for her work on the film.
9 x 23 in.
Lot 207: A Marilyn Monroe suit from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
US$ 350,000 - 500,000 - €330,000 - 470,000
Twentieth Century-Fox, 1953. Gray wool jacket with cream-colored embroidered linen collar, wired so that it stands, hook-and-eye and black button closure at the center, fitted at the hips, with partial gray crepe lining; together with a matching knee-length pencil skirt with a navy grosgrain waistband and buttons that attach to the jacket (to prevent the skirt from moving when Monroe danced), and a small slit in the back, bearing a bias label inscribed in black ink, "1-69-1194 M. Monroe A-698-40." Monroe, as Lorelei Lee, wears this suit when she and Dorothy (Jane Russell) go shopping in Paris, the hotel refuses them, and they wind up at a sidewalk café, singing "When Love Goes Wrong."
Provenance: Purchased by Debbie Reynolds from Fox in 1971; Butterfield & Butterfield, Entertainment Memorabilia, March 14, 2000, lot 5842.
A 1949 musical based on a novel by Anita Loos, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was initially purchased by Fox as a vehicle for Betty Grable. However in light of Grable's waning popularity and comparatively high salary (almost ten times Monroe's), studio head Darryl Zanuck decided to cast the starlet Monroe instead, borrowing Jane Russell from RKO to serve as her costar. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was a massive success and 1953 became Monroe's breakout year. She and Jane Russell put their handprints in cement at Grauman's Chinese Theater to celebrate the film's premiere, Monroe appeared on the cover of Photoplay and received its Fastest Rising Star award, and also appeared on the cover of the inaugural issue of Playboy.

Lot 208: A Marilyn Monroe red saloon gown from River of No Return
US$ 300,000 - 500,000 - €280,000 - 470,000
Twentieth Century-Fox, 1954. 19th century style saloon gown with a red cotton bodice adorned with large black sequins in a swirling pattern with black sequin trim along the neckline and each of the three shoulder straps, a black satin bustled skirt with matching red cotton trim with black sequins on either side of a high slit, and a yellow silk rose at the hip, bearing a label inscribed in black ink, "1-25-1-4413 A713-06 / M. Monroe"; and a matching pair of red cotton panties with red lace and green ribbon trim, bearing a label inscribed in black ink, "1-25-1-4413 A713-06 / M. Monroe" and a Fox cleaning tag. Monroe wears this dress while singing "One Silver Dollar" in the saloon.
Provenance: Purchased by Debbie Reynolds from Fox in 1971; Butterfield & Butterfield, Entertainment Memorabilia, March 14, 2000, lot 5843.
River of No Return stars Monroe as Kay Weston, a singer in a mining tent city in the Northwestern United States. Matt Calder (Robert Mitchum) arrives there in search of his son Mark and meets Kay, who has been looking after the child. Kay and her fiancé (Rory Calhoun) later set off on a rafting trip to Council City, and Matt rescues them after they run into trouble on the river. River of No Return was directed by Otto Preminger and shot on location in national parks in Canada to take advantage of the beautiful appearance of the landscapes on CinemaScope.
Monroe wears this dress in her first scene of the film. As Robert Mitchum enters the tent and walks around the stage, watching Monroe sing and strum a guitar, neither he nor the audience can take his eyes off of her. The image of Monroe in the dress also appears on the original one sheet poster and features prominently in the other promotional material surrounding the film.
A report by leading costume conservator Cara Varnell is available upon request.
Lot 209: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
US$ 1,000 - 1,500 - €940 - 1,400

36 x 14 3/4 in.
Lot 214: A Bert Stern photograph of Marilyn Monroe
US$ 1,000 - 1,500 - €940 - 1,400
C-print signed ("Bert Stern") in green ink at lower right, and numbered 27/250. New York: Sherwood Atelier, 1978. Celebrity photographer Bert Stern is intimately linked with Monroe by the 2,500 photographs he took of her for Vogue less than two months before her untimely death. Stern later compiled those photographs for his book The Last Sitting, and this photograph was printed as part of a portfolio of ten prints in 1978. This sultry close-up of Monroe is a classic example of her vamping for Stern's camera.
Sheet: 20 x 24 in.; image: 19 7/8 x 19 7/8 in.
Lot 215: A Marilyn Monroe signed U.S. Dept. of Defense identification card
US$ 10,000 - 15,000 - €9,400 - 14,000
Card serial no. 129279, undated, signed ("Norma Jeane DiMaggio"), inscribed under the signature by the military policeman who issued the ID, with "VOID" across the body of the document. On the verso of the card, Monroe has stamped her fingerprints in black ink. Accompanied by a press photograph of Monroe visiting the Tokyo Army Hospital on February 5, 1954.
This is the file copy of the ID card issued to Marilyn Monroe during her famous visit to entertain the American soldiers in Korea. Monroe had just married Joe DiMaggio on January 14 of that year, and they traveled to Japan for their honeymoon. She received this ID card from the US Army Provost Marshall's Office in Tokyo before flying to Korea. Monroe performed in ten shows over four days before a total audience of 100,000 soldiers.
In 2008, Bonhams sold Monroe's copy of this ID card, with the date February 8, 1954, the preceding serial number of 128278 and an identical inscription from the MP on duty, for $57,000.
Provenance: Accompanied by a notarized letter of provenance from the consignor, describing how he purchased the ID card from the estate of one of the military policemen on duty that day.
3 5/8 x 2 3/8 in.
Lot 218: A revised final screenplay of Let's Make Love
US$ 500 - 700 - €470 - 650
Twentieth Century-Fox, 1960. Mimeographed manuscript, revised final screenplay by Norman Krasna, 162 pp, December 20, 1959 (with revision pages as late as January 11, 1960), bound in brads in yellow Twentieth Century-Fox wrappers printed "Revised Shooting Final," with some notations in pencil to upper cover.
George Cukor's Let's Make Love was Marilyn Monroe's penultimate completed film role. Yves Montand stars as a man impersonating an actor impersonating himself in a play costarring actress Amanda Dell (Monroe). The finished film runs 119 minutes, which indicates that various scenes were probably deleted from this lengthy script. Monroe's then-husband Arthur Miller and Hal Kanter also contributed to the screenplay.
Lot 219: A large collection of rare contact sheets of Marilyn Monroe in Let's Make Love
US$ 50,000 - 80,000 - €47,000 - 75,000
Twentieth Century-Fox, 1960. 134 contact sheets, in two sets bound at tops in clasps (one set totaling one-hundred and twenty-one sheets; the other, thirteen), each with twenty (though sometimes less) 2 3/4 x 1 3/4 in. black and white photographs, "Approved Set" inscribed on first sheet of smaller set in permanent marker, Advertising Code Administration "Approved" and "Disapproved" stamps on versos with dates in green and red ink, housed in a Kodak Photographic Paper box inscribed, "Monroe / Somethings [sic] Got to Give" (though the photographs are from Let's Make Love).
Taken throughout the production of Marilyn Monroe's penultimate film, there are approximately 2,700 individual black and white images in this collection. Monroe is pictured in almost every shot, though her costars Yves Montand, Tony Randall, Gene Kelly, Bing Crosby, and others are also prominently featured, as is director George Cukor. Most of the photographs were taken during filming, but there are also many candid, behind-the-scenes images. Monroe herself went through the contact sheets and crossed out dozens of images she didn't like, using a thick black or red ink pen, and sometimes crossing herself out so thoroughly that she couldn't be seen at all. Thankfully, she left hundreds of shots untouched.

Lot 1032: MARILYN MONROE SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE DRESS
A Marilyn Monroe worn dress from her final film, Something's Got to Give (20th Century Fox, 1962). The figure-hugging silk crepe dress is printed with scattered painterly roses in shades of persimmon and deep cherry with a plunging V back. The interior of the studio constructed dress has hand finished details, is lined with ivory souffle, and has boning to the waistline. Jean Louis was the costume designer on the film. Monroe wore this dress when her character, who was proclaimed dead and returns from being stranded on an island for five years, is introduced in the film and reunited with her children, who do not realize she is their mother. Monroe was fired from the film, and while the studio tried to replace her with Lee Remick, the film's leading man, Dean Martin, refused to finish the film without Monroe. Monroe's untimely death came less than a month after she was let go from the production.
In 1989, raw footage of the uncompleted movie was discovered in 20th Century Fox’s film vault by the producers of Fox Entertainment News, who edited 37 minutes of the film, featured in the FEN documentary Marilyn: Something’s Got to Give (Fox Network, 1990). The edited footage was later re-purposed in AMC’s 2001 documentary Marilyn Monroe: The Final Days (Prometheus Entertainment), which aired on what would have been Monroe’s 75th birthday.

Reference: Similar photographs from this session can be seen on pages 210-232 of de Dienes’ book Marilyn (Taschen, 2002). De Dienes met 19-year-old aspiring model Norma Jeane Dougherty in 1945 after requesting a model from her agents at Blue Book Modeling for a then upcoming project. They immediately bonded and traveled together through the western states to capture Norma Jeane in various natural settings. During that trip, they became romantically involved and were briefly engaged. After their romance ended amicably, de Dienes continued to photograph Norma Jeane and well into her career as Marilyn Monroe. The chemistry between the two was undeniable; his work captured some of the finest images of the star. Many of the photographs can be seen in his book titled Andre de Dienes / Marilyn (Taschen, 2002).

Les critiques de Let's Make Love
Le Milliardaire
Les critiques
New York Times
L'inconsistance du film réalisé par George Cukor et le scénario bourré de clichés de Norman Krasna empêchent le dynamisme de Marilyn monroe de s'exprimer. Sa rencontre avec M. Yves Montand ne semble finalement pas si importante.
Hollywood Citizen News
Miss Monroe n'est aussi convaicante comme actrice que comme vedette de comédie musicale. Son jeu est correct mais n'impressionne pas beaucoup. Pour le plaisir des yeux ? Marilyn nous offre ses magnifiques courbes, avec un excédent de rondeurs. Et si l'on faisait un petit régime ?
New York World-Telegraph and Sun
Dans Let's Make Love, Marilyn Monroe joue le rôle le plus comique de sa vie (...). C'est une farce gaie, saugrenue et délicieuse (...). Marilyn supporte la comparaison avec Mary Martin lorsqu'elle chante My heart belongs to daddy dans la première scène. Le soir où j'ai vu le film, le public l'a applaudi à tout rompre.
New York Daily Mirror
Comédienne de premier plan, Miss Monroe n'a pas la moindre réplique marquante. Seuls ses célèbres charmes sont mis en évidence.
Télé 2 Semaines (3 coeurs)
La rencontre Marilyn Monroe / Yves Montand tient toutes ses promesses grâce notamment à la réalisation de Cukor.
Télé 7 Jours (2 Sept)
Une magistrale réflexion sur le spectacle et sur le pouvoir corrupteur de l'argent qui ne manque ni de classe, ni d'élégance, ni d'humour. Du pur Cukor en somme. Toute la finesse aussi d'Yves Montand et son tendre duo avec l'inoubliable Marilyn Monroe, sous les traits ici d'une déesse en collants noirs.
Télé Cable Sat (2 étoiles)
Cette honnête comédie musicale consacrée au monde du spectacle marquait les premiers pas d'Yves Montand dans un film américain.
Télé Loisir (2 étoiles)
Marilyn possède toujours le même charme fragile et ravageur. Lorsqu'elle chante "Mon coeur appartient à papa" ("My heart belongs to daddy"), on craque ! Yves Montand n'est pas toujours convaincant dans son rôle de milliardaire capricieux, en particulier lorsqu'il prend des cours de chant avec Bing Crosby.
Télé Star (2 T)
Bien qu'assez impersonnelle, cette comédie musicale nous gratifie de quelques jolies scènes et numéros chorégraphiés, ajoutés à la présence du couple Marilyn Monroe -Yves Montand, contribuent à faire du "Milliardaire" un agréable spectacle.
Les Inrockuptibles (Hors Série - 2012 - par Hélène Frappat)
Après la femme fatale (Niagara), l'entraîneuse (Bus Stop), la petite désarmée qui chuchote des berceuses ensorcelantes (Rivière sans retour), la bécasse "à moitié enfant - pas la moitié visible" (Chérie, je me sens rajeunir), le produit d'appel publicitaire (Sept ans de réflexion), la "chercheuse d'or" (Les hommes préfèrent les blondes, Comment épouser un millionnaire), la créature "camp" (Certains l'aiment chaud), quel avatar d'elle-même Marilyn construit-elle avec George Cukor dans Le Milliardaire ? La mise en scène de Cukor, dernier cinéaste à avoir filmé Marilyn en 1962 dans le film fantôme inachevé Something's Got to Give, est étonnemment tendre si on se réfère à la légende hollywoodienne selon laquelle le cinéaste organisait des concours de fausses Marilyn au cours desquels il faisait défiler de jeunes éphèbes, grimés et travestis, au bord de la piscine de sa villa, le dimanche.
Dans Le Milliardaire, Marilyn exhibe une vérité dont aucun faux "sosie" ne saura jamais faire passer le frisson: la blonde "taie d'oreiller sale" (comme elle qualifiait elle-même sa couleur) a désormais choisi d'aller vers le blanc. En 1960, alourdie par un abus de champagne et de neuroleptiques qui ralentissent son jeu et rendent sa diction encore plus vaporeuse, Marilyn est presque aussi platine que dans Something's Got to Give, où sa chevelure brûlée, cassée se fond dans la robe et le peignoir blancs choisis par Cukor pour souligner le devenir spectral de la star.
Les costumes du Milliardaire (un Burberry sous lequel elle paraît nue, un pull irlandais bleu vif, des collants noirs de danseuse, une chemise de nuit bleu ciel, un béret noir) ont peu de relief comparés au grain de sa peau. Son corps entier semble poudré, velouté de blanc, pour s'unir à la chevelure abîmée, décolorée, laiteuse. Marilyn coïncide désormais avec le fantôme que son partenaire Tony Curtis avait renommé, sur le tournage de Certains l'aiment chaud, "M.M., Missing Marilyn", Marilyn (la blonde essentiellement) manquante. Dans Le Milliardaire, son personnage Amanda réussit la coexistence du passé lointain et de l'avenir proche de la star: le passé, c'est l'enfant Norma Jeane, orpheline bègue qui redoublait toutes les syllabes (et a choisi, pour se cacher ou renaître au grand jour, un pseudonyme en forme de double "M"). Cette petite fille fantôme, petite fille malade qui hante d'autres icônes blondes (Marnie), chante "my heart belongs to daddy, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dad..." Et l'avenir proche, c'est le moment où les cheveux définitivement morts (du Milliardaire à Something's Got to Give en passant par Les Désaxés en 1961) aussi décolorés que la surface entière de la peau, ne renvoient plus aucune lumière, mais l'absorbent toute. Alors la blonde-enfant devient blonde-cadavre, qu'aucun partenaire masculin, surtout pas le fade et emprunté Yves Montand, ne parvient à ramener à la vie. Telle est la mort lente, l'extinction de la lumière de la dernière star, que contemple, en 1960, le regard mélancolique de George Cukor. Une étoile est morte. Et juste avant de s'éteindre, elle nous a murmuré, droit dans les yeux: Let's Make Love.
Télérama (Hors Série - Mai 2012 - par Cécile Mury)
Collants noirs, pull moulant d'adorables rondeurs, Marilyn ne chante pas, elle ronronne. In sexy french dans le texte: "Mon coeur... est à papa !" Elle est si captivante qu'on en oublierait presque son unique spectateur: notre Yves Montand national, subjugué en direct. Le milliardaire du titre, c'est lui, qui se fait embaucher incognito dans une revue de Broadway pour les beaux yeux de Marilyn, pardon, Amanda, la chanteuse vedette. Marivaudage, jeu de dupes, guest stars de luxe (Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly): Le Milliardaire mérite mieux que les éternels commentaires sur la tapageuse liaison Montand-Monroe, qui dura peu ou prou le temps du tournage. Devant les caméras, l'alchimie des deux comédiens est bien plus excitante: lui, presque sévère, visiblement mal à l'aise dans cette incursion en terre hollywoodienne, offre un contraste touchant avec sa vivacité à elle, un ouragan doux, un oiseau de paradis, naïf et palpitant, prêt à se laisser cueillir en plein vol.
My Heart Belongs to Daddy
Vidéo et Paroles
de la chanson My Heart Belongs to Daddy
interprétée par Marilyn Monroe
en 1960 pour le film Let's make love
Boys !
My name is Lolita
And I... am not supposed to play...with boys!
Moi ? uh uh!
Mon coeur est à Papa
You know, le propriétaire
(No!)
While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
'Cause my heart belongs to Daddy
If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine food and haddie
I just adore, his asking for more
But, my heart belongs to Daddy
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-dad
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know that you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
'Cause my Daddy, he treats it... so...
While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
Shoo do ga do, shoo do ga do, ooo, Daddy
If I invite a boy some night
To cook up a fine enchilada
Though Spanish rice is all very nice
Ba-da, ba-da, ba-da, ba-da, ba-da, da-da
Yes !
My heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply... couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to my Daddy
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dad
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know that you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
'Cause Daddy, my Daddy
My little old Daddy treats it so...
That little old man, he just treats it so good
Traduction
Mon coeur appartient à Papa
Les garçons !
Je m'appelle Lolita
Et je... ne suis pas censée jouer... avec les garçons !
Moi ? uh uh!
Mon coeur est à Papa
Tu sais, le propriétaire
(Non !)
Pendant une partie de golf
Je peux peut-être m'amuser avec le caddie
Mais quand je le fais, je ne vais pas très loin
Car mon coeur appartient à Papa
Si j'invite un garçon un soir
Pour goûter mon bon haddock fumé
J'adore quand il en demande plus
Mais mon coeur appartient à Papa
Oui mon coeur appartient à Papa
Alors je ne peux simplement pas être mauvaise
Oui, mon coeur appartient à Papa
Pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa, pa-papa !
Alors, je voudrais te prévenir mon gars
Bien que je sache que tu es vraiment super
Mon coeur appartient à Papa
Car mon Papa, il me traite si...
Pendant une partie de golf
Je peux peut-être m'amuser avec le caddie
Mais quand je le fais, je ne vais pas très loin
Si j'invite un garçon un soir
Pour lui cuisiner une bonne enchilada
Même si le riz espagnol est vraiment bon
Oui! Mon coeur appartient à Papa
Alors je ne peux simplement... pas être mauvaise
Oui! Mon coeur appartient à Papa
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Alors, je voudrais te prévenir mon gars
Bien que je sache que tu es vraiment super
Mon coeur appartient à Papa
Car Papa, mon papa,
Mon petit papa, il me traite si...
ce petit vieillard me traite juste si bien !

L'auteur de cette célèbre chanson est Cole Porter qui l'a créée en 1938 pour la comédie musicale Leave it to me ! jouée sur les planches à Broadway. La première interprète est l'actrice et chanteuse de Broadway Mary Martin (photo ci-contre) qui joue le personnage Dolly: sur scène, Dolly est bloquée à une station de chemin de fer sibérien, vêtue seulement d'un manteau de fourrure, et elle effectue un strip-tease tout en chantant la chanson. Entourée d'hommes avides de Sibérie, elle dit que depuis qu'elle a rencontré "papa", elle va flirter avec d'autres hommes, mais elle "n'ira pas très loin." "Papa" est son vieux protecteur journaliste, introduit par les mots: "Je suis venue avec attention, pour un si doux millionnaire."
Mary Martin chante à nouveau la chanson en 1940, mais dans un film: Love Thy Neighbor, où, pendant sa prestation et vêtue d'un manteau de fourrure elle s'adonne encore à un striptease, mais portant cette fois-ci une robe de soirée sous son manteau. Elle réitère la performance en 1946 dans le film Night and Day, un biopic sur Cole Porter.
> Mary Martin (dans Love Thy Neighbor)
- En Angleterre, la chanson rencontre beaucoup de succès en 1938 grâce à la chanteuse Pat Kirkwood qui l'interprète dans une revue: "Black Velvet".
- La version originale contient quatre versets, qui jouent tous sur des rimes idiosyncrasiques avec "papa"; à la fin, la chanteuse finit par dire que son père pourrait la "fesser" si elle était «mauvaise».
Mais la version chantée par Marilyn Monroe en 1960 subit des modifications: l'introduction est changée dans sa totalité, un verset est ajoutée (où elle invite un garçon pour cuisiner des enchiladas). Les lignes ne sont pas conformes à la rime du reste de la chanson, mais il s'agit désormais de la version la plus célèbre, reprise notamment par Anna Nicole Smith en 1997.
> Anna Nicole Smith
- Les divers interprètes de la chanson: Le groupe Larry Clinton avec la chanteuse Bea Wain (en 1938), The Count Basie Orchestra avec Helen Humes (1939), Valaida Snow (1939), Eartha Kitt (1953), Peggy Lee (1953), Ella Fitzgerald (1954), Kitty Kallen (1954), Anita O'Day (1959), izzy Gillespie (1959), Della Reese (1960), Marilyn Monroe (1960), Oscar Peterson (1962), Julie London (1965), Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass (1967), Violetta Villas (1970), Anna Nicole Smith (1997), Dee Dee Bridgewater (1997), Paul Motian (2003), Sophie Milman (2004), Stacey Kent and Jim Tomlinson (2005).
