Six documents referencing an agreement, and the dissolution thereof, between Marilyn Monroe and Ben Hecht regarding his authoring her life story.
Included is a facsimile copy of the originally signed agreement between Monroe and Hecht, dated March 16, 1954, in which the terms of the agreement are exceedingly clear.

Hecht partnered with Monroe to write her life story, which was to be published only in the Ladies' Home Journal magazine.

Also included is an undated, hand-signed Christmas card and a note that likely accompanied a bouquet of flowers with a message that reads, "Will you be my Valentine? John Moore." Moore was a close friend of Monroe's. He worked for Talmack, and designed many of Marilyn's clothes, including the gown she wore during the private wedding ceremony in which she married Arthur Miller. He also assisted her in redecorating the apartment she and Miller shared on East 57th Street in New York City. 6.5 x 4.5 (largest)

Lot 202: MARILYN MONROE: SECRETARIAL CORRESPONDENCE
Three letters from Hedda Rosten to Cherie Redmond, both women being employed by Marilyn Monroe to provide secretarial and administrative support to the star. Rosten, the wife of famed poet and close personal friend of Marilyn's Norman Rosten, resided on the east coast, while Redmond lived on the west coast.
The February 24 letter references Rosten's W4 form, postage expenses and a salary increase. The second letter, dated "May 22 or 23," references mailing a photo and petty cash. The third and final letter, dated July 10, references two bills that were evidently enclosed, along with a line reading "They say all business comes to a standstill in N.Y. in the summer." As Redmond began working for Marilyn in 1962, these letters reference business conducted during the final year of her life and provide an interesting look into the levels and types of administrative support Monroe needed.

Lot 127: MARILYN MONROE: PAULA STRASBERG ANNOTATED "BUS STOP" SCRIPT
A bound final draft of the screenplay for Bus Stop (Twentieth Century Fox, 1956) that personally belonged to Marilyn Monroe's acting coach Paula Strasberg and is annotated by her throughout. The blue cover is printed with the words "Bus Stop / February 27, 1956" in the center, "652" in the upper left, "Final" in the upper right, "147" in the lower right, "Property of Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation" at the bottom, and has the initials "PMS" (for Paula Miller Strasberg) written in ink near the top. The script is 123 pages long and features many blue revision pages. Strasberg circled every mention of Monroe's character's name Cherie in red ink and wrote her notes throughout in both red ink and pencil and in some cases crossed out portions of Cherie's dialogue.
The release of Bus Stop in 1956 marked a turning point in Monroe's career. It was the first film she starred in after beginning to study with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in 1955. Strasberg's wife Paula became Monroe's personal acting coach accompanying her to the set during filming, sometimes to the consternation of the film's director. Monroe's performance as the ambitious but somewhat untalented "chanteuse" from the Ozarks was met with much acclaim and helped elevate her reputation as an actress to be taken seriously within the film industry.

A single loose page of white paper is typewritten with the words "154 (old script)" at the top and features an exchange of dialogue between the characters Jean and Amanda.
Let's Make Love was Monroe's second to last completed film and her final musical movie. She portrayed actress Amanda Dell who is rehearsing an off-Broadway revue that spoofs a headline-making billionaire named Jean-Marc Clement (Yves Montand), who, by accident, becomes cast as himself and falls in love with Monroe's character. The film earned more than $6 million at the box office upon release.

The event was sponsored by the Democratic Committees and Citizens for Kennedy as a fundraiser to erase debt incurred during the 1960 presidential election. Monroe famously called in sick to filming Something's Got To Give at 20th Century Fox studios in Los Angeles to fly to New York in serenade the president with a sultry rendition of "Happy Birthday, Mister President" while wearing a sheer, skin-tight Jean-Louis gown that she'd been sewn-into just before the event.

Monroe was often photographed wearing coats and furs of a similar style while living in New York, circa 1954-1955.

Lot 290: MARILYN MONROE: "THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH" FILM-WORN BLACK EVENING GOWN (WITH BOOKS)
A Mae West-inspired black "cellophane effect" evening gown, worn by Marilyn Monroe during the filming of The Seven Year Itch (Twentieth Century Fox, 1955) starring Monroe and Tom Ewell. The quarter-length sleeved gown features a plunging v neck, black hook and eye closures down the front, a left leg slit and long train. An interior wardrobe label reads in handwritten black ink, "1-81-1 - 1231 M. Monroe A-734-05."
In the film, costume designer William Travilla designed the gown for one of the film's dream sequences imagined by director Billy Wilder. In this particular scene, which was later cut from the film, Richard Sherman (played by Tom Ewell) envisions his neighbor, "the Girl," impersonating Mae West in this costume, pairing the dazzling gown with green-tipped black ostrich feather boa, a pair of red marabou feather accented mules, and a cigarette holder - the West signature.
Although Monroe and West never ended up crossing paths in real life, West was later quoted as saying, "The only gal who came near to me in the sex appeal department was pretty little Marilyn Monroe. All the others had were big boobs."
Includes a copy of the book The Films of Marilyn Monroe (Pubns Intl Ltd, 1989), as well as a copy of Marilyn Monroe, les images d'une vie (VERLHAC, 2007).

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.

Yves Montand et Marilyn Monroe : les secrets d'une romance passionnée
07/12/2020 | par Thomas Colpaert - en ligne sur programme-tv.net
Au printemps 1960, Yves Montand et Marilyn Monroe tournent ensemble Le Milliardaire. Mariés et stars dans leur pays, tous deux entament une étonnante liaison, détaillée dans le documentaire Signoret et Montand, Monroe et Miller : deux couples à Hollywood.
C'est l'histoire de deux stars, deux immenses talents regrettés. En France comme aux Etats-Unis, Yves Montand et Marilyn Monroe ont laissé une trace indélébile. Le premier dans des rôles aussi variés que La Folie des grandeurs, où il doit résister au charme ravageur d'Alice Sapritch, ou le diptyque évènement Jean de Florette - Manon des sources ,films cultes des années 80 adaptés de l'oeuvre de Marcel Pagnol. La seconde icône éternelle, glamour dans Certains l'aiment chaud , impressionnante dans Les Désaxés, film maudit entré dans la légende. Deux personnalités fortes, dont la rencontre, détaillée dans le documentaire Signoret et Montand, Monroe et Miller : deux couples à Hollywood diffusé sur France 3, a fait des étincelles.
Yves Montand - Simone Signoret, Marilyn Monroe - Arthur Miller : deux couples qui se rapprochent
C'est à la fin des années 50 que les deux acteurs se rapprochent l'un de l'autre. Ou plus précisément leurs couples. Yves Montand est en effet marié depuis près de dix ans à Simone Signoret, interprète inoubliable de Casque d'Or (1952). Marilyn Monroe de son côté s'est unie en 1956 avec le dramaturge Arthur Miller, auteur des Sorcières de Salem et de Mort d'un commis voyageur. La rencontre se passe en 1959, alors qu'Yves Montand, également chanteur, donne une représentation à Broadway. Présente dans la salle, Marilyn est conquise par ce frenchy, et organise un dîner à quatre. Les deux couples s'entendent à merveille, différents et pourtants semblables dans leur sensibilité artistique, mais également leurs opinions politiques, ancrés à gauche. L'occasion est belle pour Yves Montand, qui rêve de faire carrière à Hollywood, de partager l'affiche d'un film avec Marilyn Monroe. Ce sera un an plus tard, dans Le Milliardaire (Let's make love en version originale).
Un premier baiser "tendre, superbe" entre Yves Montand et Marilyn Monroe
Au printemps 1960, les deux couples s'installent côte à côte dans le Beverly Hills Hotel et cohabitent presque ensemble pendant plusieurs mois. Fin avril, Yves Montand et Marilyn Monroe se retrouvent plusieurs semaines seuls, Simone Signoret étant repartie travailler en Europe alors que le couple que la comédienne forment avec Arthur Miller bat de l'aile. La simple complicité amicale et de travail les deux partenaires à l'écran se transforme en relation amoureuse. "Mes lèvres dérapent, je suis à moitié sonné", raconte Yves Montand à propos de leur premier baiser, "tendre, superbe". L'idylle dure plusieurs semaines et au bout d'un mois, la presse américaine révèle l'affaire, au grand dam de Simone Signoret, oscarisée l'année précédente pour Les Chemins de la haute ville. Si Marilyn Monroe n'a jamais parlé de cette romance, Yves Montand l'a évoquée par des mots détournés lors de plusieurs entretiens. Leur histoire se termine à la fin du tournage du Milliardaire.

Tests Costumes
C'est l'acteur Gregory Peck qui est d'abord envisagé pour tenir le premier rôle masculin. On peut lire sur le panneau des screen tests des essayages costumes qu'il passe le 10 novembre 1959, que son personnage s'appelait Mark Bruester. Après que le scénario ait été remanié par Arthur Miller, Gregory Peck décide de se retirer du film jugeant que le rôle masculin était bien trop faible par rapport au rôle féminin.
That's the actor Gregory Peck who is first considered to lead the male role. We can read on the screen tests panel of the costume fittings he spent on November 10, 1959, that his character was called Mark Bruester. After the screenplay was reworked by Arthur Miller, Gregory Peck decides to withdraw from the film judging that the male role was far too weak compared to the female role.
