Lot 0952: PERSONAL HANDWRITTEN ACTORS STUDIO CLASS NOTES
A sheet of Marilyn Monroe's personal notes from her acting classes with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in New York, NY, handwritten in pencil on stationery from The Towers of The Waldorf-Astoria in 1955 (Monroe took Actors Studio classes with Strasberg between April and September 1955).
The opening salutation and start of the letter "Dear Art" has been scratched out. The notes begin with Monroe quoting something said by Strasberg: "I want you all to know that this exercise went on for/ 1/2 hour and her concentration did not/ give way or slip once-and Marilyn there/ will be very few times ever on the/ stage where it will be/ necessary to keep/ such a concentration/ for one half hour/ straight." Monroe then asks herself, "Why did it/ mean so much to me."
On the back she continues to ruminate about class, writing, "Strasberg/ it makes me (him he said) feel badly (and sadly) for you that you do/ things out of fear/ You must start to do things out of strength-/ (my question: where do I get the strength)-he said-by not looking for strength/but only looking & seeking tecnical [sic] ways and means."
This presents a fascinating demonstration of how seriously Monroe took her formal acting training in New York.
This document was reproduced in the book Fragments: Poems, Intimate Notes, Letters by Marilyn Monroe, Edited by Stanley Buchthal and Bernard Comment (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, New York, 2010).

Lot 0953: HANDWRITTEN ACTING EXERCISE DIALOGUE AND NOTES
A single sheet of lined yellow paper with dialogue and additional notes written out in pencil in Monroe's hand. This document was likely part of an acting exercise.
The dialogue reads:
"Where did he go? He told you I know he did/ If you'd only have given me a little longer - He was in love with me - we'd have been married you didn't want me to have him from the beginning/ you wouldn't let me wear those pretty things/ Even when I told you about the doll - you/ sent those people around/ He died! But he said/ he came back - Tell/ Me - tell me -."
The front and back of the page is then covered with small performance notes, including:
"The thought focus on partner not on word then let go of word"; "don't do with words & voice"; "Let go everything elastic keep the pick up lay on the horse"; and "to be as relaxed let go of mouth speech thought," among many others.

25/06/1956 Marilyn et Arthur à Roxbury
Après avoir annoncé leur projet de mariage, Marilyn Monroe et Arthur Miller comprennent que la presse ne leur laisserait pas de répit. C'est pourquoi ils ont décidé de quitter New York le 24 juin pour s'installer dans la propriété de Miller à Roxbury, dans le Connecticut. Mais les journalistes retrouvent leurs traces et des photographes les traquent. Quand Marilyn se réveille le matin du lundi 25 juin 1956, elle entend la clameur des journalistes du monde entier provenant de l'extérieur, cachés derrière la grande haie et même un hélicopter survole la propriété.
Ce matin là, Arthur se prépare pour se rendre à Manhattan, New York, afin de s'entretenir avec son avocat Lloyd Garrison. Mais avant de partir, pour satisfaire les médias, Marilyn et Arthur leur accordent une séance photos dans le jardin de la propriété. Ils apparaissent dans des tenues décontractées, souriants, avec Hugo, le chien de Miller. Ils affirment que le mariage n'aura pas lieu avant plusieurs jours, Miller de préciser "il n'y aura pas de mariage cette semaine" sans communiquer le lieu, puis Miller demandera aux photographes et journalistes de se retirer pour permettre à Marilyn de se reposer. Il promet une nouvelle annonce dans les jours suivants.
Puis Marilyn retourne dans la chambre à l'étage se reposer. Pendant que les enfants d'Arthur jouent dehors, Augusta Miller -la mère d'Arthur- annonce que Marilyn est épuisée et qu'elle a besoin de repos. Les journalistes vont alors en ville, dans le centre de Roxbury, pour peaufiner leur travail avec l'envoi de courrier, et pour prendre leur repas. Les résidents ne leur font pas un bon accueil, et ressentent leur présence comme une invasion.
After announcing their wedding plans, Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller understand that the press would not let them rest. That is the reason why they decide to leave New York on June 24 to move into the property of Miller in Roxbury, Connecticut. But reporters found their tracks and photographers stalk them. When Marilyn awakes on the morning of Monday, June 25, 1956, she hears the clamor of reporters of the worldwide outside, hidden beside the big hedge and even a helicopter flies over the property.
This morning, Arthur has to go in Manhattan to confer with his lawyer Lloyd Garrison. But before to leave, to satisfy the reporters, Marilyn and Arthur accept a photo shoot in the garden of the property. They appear in casual wear, smiling, with Hugo, the Miller's dog. They argue that the marriage will not take place for several days, Miller specify "there will be no wedding this week," without specifying the location, and then, Miller asks photographers and journalists to retire to allow Marilyn to rest. He promises a new statement in the following days.
Then, Marilyn goes back to the upstairs bedroom. While the Arthur's children play outside, Augusta Miller -Arthur's mother- announce that Marilyn is badly run down and needs rest. So reporters go in town, in Roxbury's center, to finish their works, send mails, and take their lunch. The residents don't get them a warm welcome and feel their presence as an invasion.

L'après-midi, Arthur Miller se rend au bureau de ses avocats Lloyd Garrison et Joseph L. Rauh sur Madison Avenue à Manhattan.

Garrison a quand à lui écrit une lettre au Président de la commission Walter demandant un délai de 10 jours pour préparer une note sur les précédents pour ne pas citer Miller pour outrage. Ses avocats voulaient que Walter reçoive la lettre avant que la commission HUAC ne se réunisse le mercredi matin.
On the afternoon, Arthur Miller goes to his lawyer's office Lloyd Garrison and Joseph L. rauh on Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY. Rauh, who was in Washington, has prepared on the week end several documents to make draft at Miller, as an affidavit consisting of passages from his literary work and interviews that indicated a belief in democracy. And Garrison writes a letter to Chairman Walter requesting ten days to prepare amemorandum on precedents for not citing Miller for contempt. His lawyers wanted tat Walter receive the letter before HUAC meet on Wednesday morning.
Le soir, Arthur Miller et Marilyn Monroe posent brièvement pour les photographes avant d'aller dîner chez Morty Miller, le cousin d'Arthur, qui vit à 2 km de chez eux.

28/06/1956 Roxbury
Le jeudi 28 juin 1956, en découvrant que les journalistes campent encore dans les rues de Gold Mine et Old Tophet devant sa maison de Roxbury, Arthur Miller leur propose un accord. Les docteurs ont ordonné à Marilyn Monroe le plus grand repos et elle désire s'exposer au soleil sans devoir se cacher sous une couverture. Mais les journalistes ne veulent pas s'éloigner de la maison, de peur de rater le mariage. Donc Arthur leur promet que le mariage ne se déroulera pas avant samedi et si les reporters acceptent de partir, Arthur et Marilyn tiendront une conférence de presse le lendemain après-midi (le vendredi). Arthur Miller précise "J'ai toujours tenu parole. Et je le ferai dans ce cas précis." Une heure plus tard, les journalistes se sont dispersés.
Miller et sa famille sont dans l'attente de la décision de la commission, à savoir si il pourra obtenir un passeport ou non pour accompagner Marilyn en Angleterre. L'HUAC (Commission des Activités Anti-Américaines) a voté unanimement de laissé un délai de 10 jours avant de se prononcer; en fait, ils laissent à Miller un délai de réflexion pour livrer les noms de communistes.
Morty Miller, le cousin d'Arthur, vient chez Arthur chercher deux flacons de sang; les analyses de sang étant obligatoire pour obtenir la licence de mariage.
On Tuesday, June, 28, 1956, by discovering that reporters stipp camped out at Gold Mine and Old Topher Streets, in front of his Roxbury's house, Arthur Miller propose them a deal. Doctors have ordered Marilyn to get some res and she wants to sunbathe without having to hide under a hedge. But reporters don't want to get away from the house, for fear of missing the wedding. So, Arthur promises that the marriage will not take place until Saturday and if reporters are willing to go, Arthur and Marilyn will held a press conference on the afternoon of the next day (Friday). Arthur Miller specifies "I have always kept my word and I will in this instance." One hour later, reporters disperse.
Miller and his family wait for the decision of the Commitee, if he will get a passport or not, in order to go in England with Marilyn. HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee) has voted unanimously to wait ten days before deciding on a contempt citation; in fact, they let Miller the choice to give names of Communists.
Morty Miller, Arthur's cousin, comes at Arthur's to keep two vials of blood; blood tests have to be tested before to get the marriage license.

29/06/1956 La conférence de presse à Roxbury
Le matin du vendredi 29 juin 1956, Arthur Miller et Marilyn Monroe se rendent à South Salem (un hameau à Lewisboro, dans le comté de Westchester, Etat de New York) pour régler les documents administratifs de la licence de mariage.
A leur retour à Roxbury, ils découvrent à l'angle des rues Old Tophet et Gold Mine, un nombre considérable de voitures, devant la maison de Miller, qui bloquent les rues. Les reporters ont anticipé l'annonce faite par Miller la veille, de tenir une conférence de presse avec Marilyn. Le cousin de Miller, Morty, et sa femme Florence, invitent Arthur, Marilyn et leurs parents (Augusta et Isadore Miller) à prendre le déjeuner chez eux. Pendant leur absence, d'autres journalistes arrivent chez Miller: jusqu'à 400 journalistes se réunissent devant la maison de Miller, piétinant l'herbe et grimpant aux arbres dans l'espoir d'apercevoir le couple. Mais comme ni Marilyn, ni Arthur, ne se trouvent sur les lieux, certains journalistes mènent l'enquête pour savoir où le couple se trouve. Parmi eux, la journaliste Mara Sherbatoff, chef du bureau new-yorkais du magazine français Paris Match, accompagnée du photographe Paul Slade, et du frère de celui-ci Ira Slade, 18 ans, qui leur sert de chauffeur. Mara et Ira partent chez Morty Miller, qui habite à environ 2 km de chez Arthur alors que Paul Slade reste devant la maison d'Arthur et finit de préparer son matériel photographique. Il fait très chaud, le soleil tape beaucoup. Mara et Ira se garent devant la maison de Morty et attendent.
On the morning of Friday, June 29, 1956, Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe go to South Salem (in Lewisboro, a hamlet in Westchester County, New York) to set the administrative documents of the marriage license.
On their return to Roxbury, they discover at the corner of Old Tophet and Gold Mine, a large number of cars in front of the Miller House, which block the streets. Reporters anticipated the announcement made by Miller the day before, to hold a press conference with Marilyn. Miller's cousin, Morty and his wife Florence, invite Arthur, Marilyn and their parents (Isadore and Augusta Miller) to have lunch at home. During their absence, other journalists arrive at Miller's home: 400 journalists gather at the home of Miller, trampling the grass and climbing trees in the hope of seeing the couple. But as neither Marilyn nor Arthur, are not here, some journalists investigate to find where the couple is. Among them, the journalist Mara Sherbatoff, head of the New York office of the French magazine 'Paris Match', accompanied by the photographer Paul Slade, and his brother Ira, 18 years old, who serves as their driver. Mara and Ira go to Morty Miller's house, who lives about one mile and a half from Arthur's home, while Paul Slade remains outside the home of Arthur and finish to prepare his photographic equipment. It is a very hot day, the sun is a lot. Mara and Ira are parked outside the home of Morty and wait.

Peu avant 13 heures, Marilyn, Arthur et Morty Miller partent dans un break. Morty conduit très vite car il connait parfaitement la petite route de campagne sinueuse et cahoteuse. Ira Slade et Mara Sherbatoff suivent le break. Peu avant l'arrivée, Ira rate un virage et s'encastre dans un chêne. Le choc est si violent que même les reporters qui attendent dans l'herbe devant la maison de Arthur, entendent le bruit. Morty arrête à son tour sa voiture et avec Arthur et Marilyn, ils courent en direction de la voiture accidentée: Ira, le conducteur, est effondré derrière le volant et Mara, assise du côté passager, a été projetée contre le pare-brise, son visage, couvert de sang, est ouvert des lèvres au front, des dents sont tombées, sa poitrine est écrasée, ses jambes sont cassées et du sang coule dans sa gorge. Elle gémit doucement. Marilyn va aider à déloger Mara et va la poser au sol, à côté de la voiture. Arthur extrait le jeune homme dont les blessures sont beaucoup moins importantes. Paul Slade se précipite sur les lieux en courant, et fait pression sur l'artère de Mara afin de stopper les écoulements de sang.
Shortly before 1 p.m, Marilyn, Arthur and Morty go in a station wagon. Morty drives very quickly because he knows perfectly the small winding and bumpy road. Ira and Mara take off after them. Shortly before the arrival, Ira misses a turn and fits into an oak. The shock was so violent that even the reporters waiting in the grass in front of the house of Arthur, hear the noise. Morty stops his car and with Arthur and Marilyn, they run towards the crashed car: Ira, the driver, is crumpled behind the steering wheel and Mara, sat on the passenger side, has been hurled partway through the windshield, her face is covered by blood, cut from the lips to the forehead, teeth are felt, his chest is crushed, her legs are broken and blood flows in her throat. She moaned softly. Marilyn help to dislodge Mara and lies down her on the ground beside the car. Arthur extract the young man whose injuries are much less important. Paul Slade rushed to the scene, and puts pressure on the artery of Mara to stop the flow of blood.

Marilyn, Arthur et Morty reprennent leur break et accélèrent chez Arthur. Arthur est le premier sorti de la voiture, en se précipitant dans sa maison pour prévenir les secours. Puis, Marilyn et Morty suivent; avec ses lunettes de soleil et son chemisier blanc taché de sang, Marilyn est traumatisée: "Il vient d'y avoir un méchant accident un peu plus haut. Une fille a été terriblement blessée. C'est terrible".
L'hôpital le plus proche est à New Milford. Miller apprend que l'ambulance ne sera pas là avant deux bonnes heures; c'est alors qu'il précise à l'opérateur que la fille sur la route est Marilyn Monroe et que l'histoire fera les gros titres dans la presse le lendemain, ce qui va permettre d'accélérer les choses.
Marilyn, Arthur and Morty go back in their station wagon and accelerate at Arthur's home. Arthur is the first out of the car, rushing into his house to phone at the hospital. Then, Marilyn and Morty follow; with her sunglasses and white shirt stained with blood, Marilyn is traumatized: "There's been a very bad accident up there. A girl has-been terribly hurt. It's awful."
The nearest hospital is at New Milford. Miller learns that the ambulance will not be there before two hours, then he says to the operator that the girl on the road is Marilyn Monroe and the story will make headlines in the press the next day; this will speed things up.

Marilyn monte à l'étage pour se changer et se préparer à la conférence de presse; elle met une chemise de couleur vert moutarde et une jupe noire en lin et malgré la chaleur, Arthur enfile un pull noir en col V par-dessus sa chemise blanche. Personne ne semble vouloir annuler. L'humeur de Marilyn varie entre le bouleversement provoqué par l'accident, et la colère contre son attaché de presse qui a laissé venir la télévision, un média qu'elle déteste. Une trentaine de minutes plus tard, Marilyn est prête et sourit aux journalistes. Mais l'atmosphère qui règne est étrange et dérangeante: pendant que Marilyn, Arthur et ses parents -Isadore et Augusta Miller- posent pour les photographes, l'ambulance arrive.
Marilyn goes upstairs to change clothes and prepare for the press conference, she puts a mustard green shirt and a black linen skirt and despite the heat, Arthur puts a black V-neck sweater over his white shirt. Nobody seems to want to cancel. The Marilyn's mood varies from the trouble caused by the accident, and the anger against his press secretary who left coming television, a media she hates. Thirty minutes later, Marilyn is ready and smiles at reporters. But the atmosphere is strange and disturbing: while Marilyn, Arthur and his parents -Isadore and Augusta Miller- pose for photographers, the ambulance arrives.

Puis, Milton Greene, venu de Weston, gère les dernières dispositions techniques, donne des instructions aux journalistes et présente le couple aux médias, en leur précisant qu'ils n'auront que 20 minutes pour obtenir ce qu'ils veulent.
Then, Milton Greene, came from Weston, manages the latest technical provisions, gives instructions to journalists and introduce the couple to the media, stating that they will only have 20 minutes to get what they want.

Arthur Miller et Marilyn Monroe prennent place sous un grand érable. Marilyn va se montrer plutôt anxieuse, reportant son angoisse par des marques d'affection envers Arthur: elle caresse son épaule, l'étreint en le serrant par la taille, et elle se montre peu locace, laissant les déclarations à Miller qui lui, semble préoccupé, en embrassant le front de Marilyn, faisant de nombreux petits gestes de nervosité et fumant beaucoup. C'est la première fois, depuis sa comparution devant la commission, que les reporters l'interviewent. Le couple ne donne aucun détail sur leur mariage à la presse.
Arthur and Marilyn take place under a large maple tree. Marilyn will be rather anxious, transposing her anguish by some affection to Arthur: she caresses his shoulder, hugs him, hugging by his waist, and she shows little talkative, leaving statements to Miller who seems worried, kissing the forehead of Marilyn, making many small gestures of nervousness and smoking a lot. This is the first time since his appearance before the Committee, that the reporters interview him. The couple doesn't give any details about their marriage to the press.

Quelques déclarations:
> Arthur Miller, déclare, suite à l'accident: "Je savais que ça arriverait. Cette chose terrible explique pourquoi je ne vais pas dire où ni quand nous nous marierons. Je pense qu'il y a assez de temps pour tout le monde de savoir quand cela arrive. Si la presse ne me laisse pas seul, nous partirons d'ici pour une destination inconnue."
> Journaliste: - Mademoiselle Monroe, quel genre de mariage allez-vous avoir ?
Marilyn: - Très tranquille, j'éspère.
> Journaliste: -Un petit garçon a trois voeux: faire de l'argent en premier, devenir un ingénieur en deuxième, et en troisième, il dit "quand je serai grand, j'aimerai avoir une blonde, avec des yeux bleus, elle sera comme Marilyn Monroe".
Marilyn: -Je suis flattée !
Few Statements:
> Arthur Miller, said, refering to the accident: "I knew this would happen. This terrible thing explains why I'm not going to say when and where we'll be married. I think it's time enough for everybody to know when it happens. If the press do not leave me alone, we will leave here for parts unknown."
> Journalist: - Miss Monroe, what kind of wedding will you have ?
Marilyn: - Very Quiet, I Hope.
> Journalist: -A little boy has three wishes: make money in first, to be an engineer in second, and third, he said "when i grow up, i'd like to have a blond, she had to have blue eyes, she has to be like Marilyn Monroe".
-Marilyn: -I'm flattered !

2/07/1956 Visite de Lee Strasberg à Greene - Vente de la propriété de Miller
Le 2 juillet 1956, le lendemain de la cérémonie juive du mariage de Marilyn d'avec Arthur Miller, Lee Strasberg arrive à l'improviste au bureau de Milton Greene, pour lui demander de verser à sa femme Paula Strasberg un salaire de 2 500 Dollars par semaine, hors les frais de dépenses, pour son travail de coach pour le tournage du "Prince et la Danseuse" qui doit se dérouler en Angleterre. Il propose aussi en alternative, que la société des 'Marilyn Monroe Productions' serve un pourcentage des bénéfices engendrés par le film en échange des services rendus par Paula.
Lee Strasberg était à la tête, avec sa femme Paula, de l'Actor's Studio de New York et ils avaient parfois du mal à gagner de l'argent. A travers Marilyn Monroe, ils ont pu entrevoir une solution à leurs ennuis financiers. Et il semble probable que ce soit Paula qui poussa son mari à aller faire cette requête auprès de Greene. Il lui stipule que si sa demande n'est pas prise en compte, il refuse de laisser Paula partir en Angleterre, en sachant pertinemment que Marilyn étant émotionellement fragile, elle serait incapable de faire le film sans Paula.
Il informe aussi Greene que Laurence Olivier est un mauvais choix pour travailler avec Marilyn et qu'il serait préférable d'engager à la place George Cukor: Lee règle ses propres comptes car Olivier a ouvertement méprisé la "méthode" enseignée à l'Actors Studio et a déjà critiqué la façon d'enseigner de Lee Strasberg. Et comme Marilyn était une élève de l'Actors Studio depuis un an, si elle offre une bonne préstation de comédienne dans "Le Prince et la Danseuse", Strasberg pense que le mérite serait revenu à Olivier. Il cherche donc à ébranler la relation entre Marilyn et Olivier.
Milton Greene considère désormais Lee Strasberg comme une sorte de maître-chanteur et Marilyn ne voulant pas s'impliquer dans les négociations de sa production et refusant toute discussion, elle insiste d'accorder à Strasberg ce qu'il veut. Mais cette requête dépasse le budget des Marilyn Monroe Productions, alors Marilyn propose de donner une partie de son cachet, et c’est ainsi que Paula devient la troisième personne la mieux payée du film, après Laurence Olivier et Marilyn.
On July 2, 1956, the day after of the Jewish wedding ceremony of Marilyn with Arthur Miller, Lee Strasberg arrives unexpectedly at the Milton Greene's office, asking him to pay his wife Paula Strasberg a salary of 2 500 Dollars per week, excluding costs of expenses, for her work as a coach for the filming of "The Prince and the Showgirl" to be held in England. He also offers the alternative that society 'Marilyn Monroe Productions' serves a percentage of the profits generated by the film in exchange for the services rendered by Paula.
Lee Strasberg was the head, with wife Paula, of the Actors Studio in New York and they sometimes had trouble making money. Through Marilyn Monroe, they were able to point to a solution to their financial troubles. And it seems likely that this is Paula who pushed her husband to make this request to Greene. He says to him that if his request is not taken into account, he refuses to let Paula going in England, and knowing that Marilyn is emotionally fragile, she would be unable to make the film without Paula.
He also informs Greene that Laurence Olivier is a bad choice to work with Marilyn and it would be best to hire George Cukor instead: Lee settles its own accounts because Olivier has openly despised the "method" taught at the Actors Studio and has criticized how Lee Strasberg works. And as Marilyn was a student of the Actors Studio for a year, if she provides a good performance as an actress in "The Prince and the Showgirl", Strasberg thinks that merit would income to Olivier. So, he wants to undermine the relationship between Olivier and Marilyn.
Milton Greene now considers Lee Strasberg as a kind of blackmailer and Marilyn doesn't want to get involved in the negotiations of its production and refusing any discussion, she insists to give Strasberg what he wants. But this query exceeds the budget of the 'Marilyn Monroe Productions', Marilyn then proposes to give a part of her salary, and this is why Paula becomes the third person with the highest pay on the film after Laurence Olivier and Marilyn.
Le même jour, le journal Herald Tribune publie une annonce: « Nid d’amour du dramaturge et de la vedette de l’écran. Sept pièces, trois salles de bains, piscine, court de tennis, terrasse, garage pour deux voitures, petit studio. Deux hectares. 29 500$ (38 500 avec plus de douze hectares)». Il s'agit de la propriété d'Arthur Miller à Roxbury dans le Connecticut, celle où avec Marilyn, ils ont donné ensemble une conférence de presse le 29 juin recevant photographes et journalistes du monde entier. La maison sera rapidement vendue à 27 500$ ; après qu’une petite hypothèque et les frais seront réglés, la somme restante sera déposée en main tierce en vue de l’achat d’une propriété voisine.

Juillet 1956. Marilyn câlinant son mari, dans sa maison typiquement américaine de Roxbury, perchée sur une colline. C’est le cinéaste Elia Kazan qui avait présenté Marilyn au dramaturge Arthur Miller en 1948, alors qu’elle n’était pas encore au sommet de sa gloire. La vie tumultueuse de Marilyn les avait séparés un temps. Leurs retrouvailles, une fois célèbres tous les deux, ont été immédiates, et leur séparation tout aussi rapide. Le 24 janvier 1961, ils divorcent après que le tournage difficile des « Misfist », dont il avait écrit le scénario, les a définitivement éloignés : ils ne vivaient pas sur la même planète. Et Miller était tombé amoureux d’une jeune photographe sur le tournage, Inge Morath.
