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. Three unsigned carbon copies of this same agreement are included.

Hecht partnered with Monroe to write her life story, which was to be published only in the Ladies' Home Journal magazine. Ultimately, for reasons unknown, Hecht sold the text without Marilyn's knowledge or approval, and the story was published in London's Empire News from May through August of 1954.

Adler was the producer of Bus Stop (Marilyn Monroe Productions, 1956) the first of two films from Monroe's personal production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions.

Marilyn, still Norma Jean at the time, signed with the agency in 1945, and Snively is believed to have assisted her in transforming into Marilyn Monroe. The letter reads in part, "We have been following your steady progress over the years, and our students at Blue Book Models regard your success and constant development as an inspiration." Included with this letter is a torn portion of the original mailing envelope with Snively's typed mailing address. Pencil scribbles are visible on the envelope fragment, possibly written in Marilyn's own hand. It is interesting to note that Snively attempted to stay in contact with Marilyn throughout the star's career. In fact, she was one of a very few guests from Marilyn's inner circle who was invited to her funeral.

Moore was a close friend of Monroe's.

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.

Scripts, Scenarios

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.

The top left side of the cover is stamped "822" and the right top has the words "Complete A.M."

The script is 158 typewritten yellow pages and there has some light annotations made in pencil, including portions of a scene crossed out. 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.

A typewritten student evaluation for Robert "Bobby" Miller, son of Arthur Miller, that is dated May 1, 1958, during Miller's marriage to Marilyn Monroe. Bobby was in the 10-year-old group at Little Red School House in New York City. The document is labeled "Evaluation of Student's Progress" and while most of his teacher's comments are favorable, she also notes "He seems always to be on a high pitch of tension, and is having difficulty in settling, which leads to brief times of just not trying to do anything, and then spurts of trying. With reassurance from the adults in his life he will gain the security he needs to relax."
Also included are mimeographed pages of the April and May 1960 issues of the Oak Hall News-Roundup, the newsletter of the school Bobby later attended.

A program for the May 19, 1962 event "New York's Birthday Salute to President Kennedy" that has been signed in ink by Marilyn Monroe and other celebrities including Harry Belafonte, Maria Callas, Shirley MacLaine, Henry Fonda, Peggy Lee, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante, and others, many of whom were performers that night. The program has been matted and framed with the all-star lineup for the event on the far left, the center is the program with a crease down the center from the fold. On the left side are red, white, and blue blocks on which most of the celebrities have signed their names. One the right side is a photograph of President Kennedy with Monroe's signature beneath his face. On the far right is ephemera related to a previous sale of the program. Mounted on the back of the frame is a clipping of Liz Smith's column from 1998 that referenced the event and on the far left is a page with a list of the chairmen, committee members, and patrons, while on the far right is a page with members of the chorus and names of the production crew.
The star-studded birthday celebration for President Kennedy at Madison Square Garden, held 10 days before his actual birthday, remains one of the most discussed events in his and Monroe's career. 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.

Lot 204: MARILYN MONROE: MOTHER-RELATED ATTORNEY CORRESPONDENCE
A two page copy of a typewritten letter dated November 7, 1963 sent to Aaron Frosch, Marilyn Monroe's attorney and executor of her will, from Inez Melson, Monroe's business manager, concerning the care of Gladys Baker Eley, Monroe's mother.
The letter reads in part: "I must confess that I am deeply concerned about the fact that no funds have been available with which to take care of Mrs. Eley's needs. The Sanitarium has been most cooperative and gracious with respect to carrying the account since the last payment made to them was for the month of February."
Eley suffered from schizophrenia and was institutionalized in Rockhaven Sanitarium in Verdugo City, California in 1953. Marilyn paid for her care there until her death in August 1962. Monroe left her mother a $100,000 trust fund, of which she received $5,000 each year. However, the trust fund was almost completely consumed by taxes and debts. Following Monroe's death, Melson oversaw financial care for Eley who later died in a retirement home in Florida in 1984.

The Times writer sent the clipping and a letter to Melson to confirm she'd seen it.

A four-piece ensemble custom-made for Marilyn Monroe to wear in There’s No Business Like Show Business (Twentieth Century Fox, 1954). The costume, which is not seen in the final cut of the film, consists of a bathing suit made of black silk with ‘applied’ black polka dots, spaghetti straps ending in two large bows, attached front rounded ‘stomach flap,’ back zip-up closure, separate self-belt, lined with support boning and nude-colored netting, in fragile condition now with areas of evident repair work; a coordinating large wrap, white cotton with the same ‘applied’ black polka dots as suit, trimmed in a wide panel of rose-colored cotton on one end and light blue cotton on the other; and a bathing cap with a petal-like hem adorned with white sequins and silver-colored bugle beads, label reads ‘1-25-4-4691/ A729-29/ M. Monroe.’ The costume was custom-made for Monroe to wear in her portrayal of Vicky Parker and designed by Academy Award-winning costumier William Travilla, this outfit is quite similar to others the star wears throughout the film, though it is not seen in the final cut; however, it is evident it was made for the same production due to its style and construction.
Sir Elton John donated this costume to a charity auction in 1990 prior to it being sold by Christie’s the following year.

Lot 550: WILLEM DAFOE: SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL-WORN "THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH" MARILYN MONROE STYLE DRESS
A Willem Dafoe worn dress styled after Marilyn Monroe's iconic film The Seven Year Itch (20th Century Fox, 1955) dress.
The halter-style dress is composed of a white polyester, with gradient pleats from the bust to the back-of-neck closure. Then from the waist to hips the dress is fitted with box pleats, going into an open fan pleated skirt that goes down to mid-calf. Their is a sash that tie in the back, sewn into the under-bust of the dress to nip it in slightly. This 2016 pattern design does not have the voluptuous curves of Marilyn Monroe's Travilla dress, but a boxier cut. Please note: There is wear to the garment, pleats in the skirt of the dress have lost their shape and definition, and there is underarm discoloration.
Dafoe wore the gown in a 2016 Snickers brand Super Bowl commercial, in which he plays a hungry version of Marilyn Monroe on the set of The Seven Year Itch filming the subway grate scene. William Travilla designed the original white halter dress with sunburst pleated skirt that Monroe wore.
Includes two original lot cards and one lot tag.

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).

Entertainment & Music Memorabilia Signature Auction 02/2016 -1

Objets Divers

Lot 89001 - A Marilyn Monroe Star-Shaped Light Fixture, 1962.
Triangular-shaped panels made of opaque white glass, solidified within a metal frame, one portion opens to reveal the socket for a light bulb, electrical cord still attached but is cut so piece is not in working condition; evidently one of the many items Monroe famously purchased down in Mexico to furnish her new Spanish-style home in Brentwood; light fixture was later purchased by the current owner in 1964 directly from Dr. Gilbert Nunez who bought Monroe's house after her death; included with a letter from the current owner stating in part that the Nunez family told her that "Marilyn had this piece hanging in the corner of one of the rooms." (Please note this fixture needs re-wiring and its metal frame is rusted due to age.)
12" x 12" x 12"
The grainy color snapshot showing this light fixture in Monroe's home is believed to have been taken by Eunice Murray [Monroe's weird housekeeper] who was helping the star with purchases for the home and with interior decoration.

Lot 89002 - A Marilyn Monroe Decorative Rustic Chest, 1962.
Smallish in size (to set atop a table), made of wood with a metal overlay, adorned on entire surface with rows of blue, green, and red marbles inspersed with brass studs, brass ring on top front lid, four small pegs on bottom; evidently one of the many items Monroe famously purchased down in Mexico to furnish her new Spanish-style home in Brentwood; chest was later purchased by the current owner in 1964 directly from Dr. Gilbert Nunez who bought Monroe's house after her death; included with a letter from the current owner stating in part that the Nunez family told her this piece was "found in Marilyn's bedroom and she kept her jewelry in it." (Please note this piece is somewhat rusted due to age.)
6" x 18" x 9" x 10"

Lot 89003 -A Marilyn Monroe-Related Rustic Standing Candlestick, 1962.
Made of wood, hand-carved, in two parts that affix together at the center, one metal spike in top center for candle placement; purchased by the Nunez family after they bought Marilyn's house and on display in Marilyn's house (albeit after her death) until they sold this piece to the current owner sometime in the mid-1960s. To be clear, Marilyn Monroe never owned this piece, but it does have the distinction of "living" in her house for a few years in the 1960s! (Please note there are numerous natural cracks in the wood and there is candle wax on all sides.)
44" x 8" x 7"

Lot 89004 - A Marilyn Monroe Terracotta Planter / Vase, 1962.
Oversized, with two handles on either side, hand-painted in colorful shades in a Spanish-style design; evidently one of the many items Monroe famously purchased down in Mexico to furnish her new Spanish-style home in Brentwood; vase was later purchased by the current owner in 1964 directly from Dr. Gilbert Nunez who bought Monroe's house after her death; included with a letter from the current owner stating in part that the Nunez family told her this piece was "left in the backyard near the swimming pool." (Please note there are a number of minor paint chips around the bottom of the vase due to age and wear.)
16" x 12 1/2"

Lot 89005 - A Marilyn Monroe Owned Wood Engraving, Circa 1930.
By Edward Gordon-Craig, untitled, from a scene in "Hamlet," on wove paper, initialed in pencil in the lower right "EGC," placard mounted below work reads in part "From the estate of / Marilyn Monroe;" also included is a 'People' magazine from November 15, 1999 quoting the woman who bought this lot in the below-referenced auction.

Documents papiers

Lot 89006 - A Marilyn Monroe Funny Signature, 1955.
On a small page of notebook paper with a six-hole punch left margin, written in blue ballpoint ink in the upper right corner "Alan / After two blocks - / Love & Kisses / Marilyn Monroe," further annotated in red ballpoint ink (in another hand) in the upper left corner "May 3, 1955;" consigned directly by 'Alan' and included with a handwritten letter from him outlining in part how he followed the star for a number of blocks in midtown Manhattan, jumped into an elevator with her, and asked for this autograph. (Please note the paper is now yellowed due to age.)
5" x 3"

Lot 89007 - A Marilyn Monroe Early Signature in an Autograph Book with Many Others, 1949.
On a mint green page, bound within an album with a navy blue leather cover, signed in turquoise fountain pen ink "To Bobby / Best Wishes / Marilyn Monroe;" (other side signed by Alan Curtis), an unusual early inscription by the then-starlet before she started using her more well-known sign-off of "Love & Kisses;" obtained in person in NYC by 'Bobby' when MM was there to promote the 1949 United Artists film she had a bit part in, "Love Happy;" the rest of the album is filled with other great movie star autographs (with inscriptions on both sides of the pages) though most (or none, even) of these actors would have known who Marilyn Monroe was in 1949; interestingly, years later, she would have an association with many of them who appear in this album like Frank Sinatra, Montgomery Clift, Charles Laughton, Jack Benny, Harold Lloyd, and Roddy McDowall; other autographs include those of Pearl Bailey, Fay Bainter, Ann Blyth, Ward Bond, Harry Carey, Jr., Donald Crisp, Robert Cummings, Dan Duryea, Dale Evans, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Joan Fontaine, Betty Garrett, Kathryn Grayson, Louis Hayward, Jean Hersholt, Ruth Hussey, Van Johnson, Buster Keaton, Peggy Lee, Oscar Levant, Ida Lupino, Virginia Mayo, Constance Moore, Dennis Morgan, Ozzie Nelson, Roy Rogers (who added "Trigger"), Alexis Smith, and Sonny Tufts, among a few others. Book cover shows minimal wear.
5" x 6"

Lot 89008 - A Marilyn Monroe Signed Check, 1959.
Dated "July 10, 1959," made out to "Hedda Rosten" (Monroe's friend and occasional business manager), in the amount of "65.13," signed in blue ballpoint ink "Marilyn Monroe," with normal stamps and cancellation marks.
3" x 8 1/4"

Lot 809: MARILYN MONROE OVERCOAT
A Marilyn Monroe fawn colored silk overcoat with black velvet collar detail and apricot satin lining. Seven-button closure and two exterior pockets. No size or maker’s label present. Fits size 8 dress form.
Monroe’s affection for this coat is documented by many photos of her wearing it during the years 1956-1959. Some have deemed it “Marilyn’s Favorite Coat.” As a newlywed, she modeled the coat in an iconic June 30, 1956, road trip and photoshoot with her new husband, playwright Arthur Miller, to his country home in Roxbury, Connecticut. Accompanying the couple in Miller’s black ’56 T-Bird was Marilyn Monroe Productions business associate and favored photographer, Milton Greene. Other extant photos include Monroe and Miller in June 26, 1959 as they departed New York’s Lennox Hill Hospital in New York City after Monroe's hospitalization for gynecological surgery.
This coat has been on continuous exhibit since 2010 at owner’s “Marshhaven” residence, Heritage Plantation, Pawleys Island, SC. The coat has been climate and UV protected.

Lot 712: EARL MORAN (AMERICAN, 1893-1984) MARILYN MONROE NUDE
An oil on canvas painting of Marilyn Monroe reclining nude in bed. Signed middle right “Earl Moran.”
Earl Moran was a prominent pin-up artist during the 1930s and 1940s with a stylish flair that helped sell millions of calendars for publishers Brown & Bigelow. In 1946, Moran had the good fortune of meeting an aspiring model named Norma Jeane Dougherty, soon to become famous as Marilyn Monroe. Dozens of photographs were taken of Monroe in various poses, which Moran then used to paint seductive nudes in oil and pastel, portraying Monroe as a blonde, a redhead, and even as a brunette. The painting shown here was purchased by the consignor's wife directly from Moran after they met him at the Laguna Art Festival. The consignor fondly recalls how Moran explained to them that the model for the painting was a young woman named Norma Jeane Dougherty.

An acrylic cast of Marilyn Monroe's hand and foot prints from Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Monroe originally immortalized her hand and foot prints at the theatre in June 1953.
