Additional documents include the account of the ancillary executor, a petition for allowance of statutory and extraordinary commissions and attorneys, and a petition for order directing deposit of money regarding those listed as beneficiaries in Marilyn's will. Also present is and original copy of a Notice of Probate dated August 28, 1962 and a two page unsigned typed affidavit from May Reis, dated January 11, 1966. This document authenticates May's daily involvement with Marilyn from 1958-1961 and was apparently prepared in connection with a dispute involving Arthur Miller and the Estate of Marilyn Monroe regarding their apartment on East 57th Street in New York. Documents also present include a group of related documents regarding money Ms. Reis received from Monroe's estate and a group of facsimile correspondence to and from Tom Kelley, the Strasbergs, and the Rostens, dated 1972. The letter from Kelley is notable because of allegations he made in the letter regarding the whereabouts of the negatives from the famed "Red Velvet Images" sessions in 1949. May Reis inherited a total of $50,000, but because of legal and financial complications, her final payments were not received until 1982, 20 years after the death of Marilyn Monroe.
PROVENANCE: From the estate of May Reis, Marilyn's assistant and private secretary from 1958 to 1961.
Estimate: $2,000 - $3,000 / Winning Bid: $2,760
