Photographie privée de Marilyn Monroe avec Barbara Leibolt et son jeune fils John Gregory Leibolt (né début 1953), vers 1954. Leibolt était une voisine d'un coach vocal de Marilyn, probablement Harold Newman (dit "Hal") Schaefer qui habitait à l'appartement 203 au 1327 North Vista Street à Los Angeles, qui pourrait être le lieu d'où à été prise la photographie.
Quand Marilyn venait voir Schaefer (ils ont été amants), elle aimait garder le petit John et cuisinait même en faisant des biscuits.

Private photograph of Marilyn Monroe with Barbara Leibolt and her young son John Gregory Leibolt (born early 1953), circa 1954. Leibolt was a neighbor of Marilyn's vocal coach, probably Harold Newman (known as "Hal") Schaefer who lived at the Apartment 203 at 1327 North Vista Street in Los Angeles, which could be where the photograph was taken.
When Marilyn came to see Schaefer (they were lovers), she loved keep the little John and even cooked, making cookies.

.

Il s'agit d'une photographie initialement postée sur la plateforme imgur (le 10 mai 2017), dont la personne à l'origine de sa publication a posté un commentaire il y a un mois (donc début juin 2024) sur le réseau reddit, apportant ce commentaire: "c'est une photo privée de ma mère et de mon beau-frère. Ils vivaient, à cette époque, dans un appartement à côté de son coach vocal et sont devenus amis. Elle venait même faire des biscuits et parfois faire du babysitting. Elle adorait les enfants et son incapacité les avoir, je pense, a joué un grand rôle dans sa mort."
Ce commentaire et lien vers la publication de l'image de son auteur a fait l'effet d'une boule de neige "médiatique" sur les réseaux sociaux consacrés à Marilyn Monroe. Beaucoup d'admirateurs de Marilyn, stupéfaits de découvrir une photographie rare et totalement inconnue, ont rapidement mis en avant qu'il s'agissait d'un "fake", c'est à dire d'une fausse photo soit retouchée (photoshop), soit une création de l'intelligence artificielle (en pleine expansion ces derniers temps). Des fans de Marilyn ont alors menés d'intenses investigations, pour lesquelles je tiens ainsi à travers cette annotation, souligner l'investissement et le résultat de leurs recherches: Scott Fortner via sa page instagram Marilyn Monroe Collection; et April VeVea à travers sa page instagram Classic Hollywood Women et l'article très fouillé de son site Classic Blondes  .

This is a photograph initially posted on the imgur platform (on May 10, 2017), on which the person behind its publication posted a comment a month ago (i.e. early June 2024) on the Reddit network , providing this comment: "it is a private photo of my Mother and brother in law. They lived, at that time, in an apartment next to her voice coach and became friends. She even came over to bake cookies and sometimes babysit. She loved kids and her inability to have them, I think, played a big part in her death."
This comment and link to the publication of the image by its author had the effect of a “media” snowball on social networks dedicated to Marilyn Monroe. Many of Marilyn's admirers, stunned to discover a rare and totally unknown photograph, quickly pointed out that it was a "fake", that is to say a false photo or retouched (photoshop) , or a creation of artificial intelligence (in full expansion recently). Marilyn fans then carried out intense investigations, for which I would like through this annotation to highlight the investment and the results of their research: Scott Fortner via his Marilyn Monroe Collection Instagram page; and April VeVea through her Classic Hollywood Women Instagram page and the very researched article on her Classic Blondes website.

 LOT #89189 - Marilyn Monroe Extremely Early Contract Revision, Signed As Norma Jeane Dougherty.
Vintage original 1-page 8.5" x 11" typed contract revision on Twentieth Century Fox letterhead, dated September 9, 1946, a five paragraph agreement outlining the details of the star's requested amendments to her payment schedule at the studio, signed by her in blue fountain pen ink "Norma Jeane Dougherty", and by the Fox paymaster at the time, "A.W. DeWeese".

This is the legal acknowledgement of fledgling Norma Jeane's request to stagger her very first studio contracted salary more slowly than normal, the particulars of which are underlined in pencil, the casualness of execution suggesting this may have been done by Marilyn herself, though no evidence exists to prove it. Perhaps she was afraid of spending it too quickly, being the first real money she was likely to have earned up to this point. Not merely crucial as one of the absolute earliest documents signed by the neophyte starlet the world would soon come to know as Marilyn Monroe, but arguably more significant in its revelation of her budding self-determination to already, at this very naissance, to control aspects of her career. Lightly age toned around margins, with one tiny age spot near lower right corner, else well-archived and unabused. Comes with an LOA from PSA.

An Unlikely Pair Make Great Match
MONROE, OLIVIER FILM BRIGHT COMEDY.
Photograph by MILTON GREENE
.
The London embassy of the mythical kingdom of Carpathia, principal sense of The Prince and The Showgirl, in a magical place where predictable miracles happen. Royalty falls in love with a showgirl and the showgirl solve a political crisis. But unpredictably, Marilyn Monroe putting her high little voice and wriggle-hipped sense of fun against the thunder of the great Sir Laurence Olivier, all brat steals the show from a fine Shakespeare actor. 
The unlikely match between Marilyn and this monarch of the classical stage results in a bright, captivating film. Sir Laurence, who produced and directed the movie for the U.S. studio, Warner Brothers, gives a high polished performance as a short-tempered prince regent visiting London for King George V's coronation in 1911 and seeking relaxation. 
Marilyn, as the American showgirl assigned to provide the relaxation, is delightful when drunk, slinky when sober and adorable when in love.  And when finally she must send her prince away, she is convincingly sad.

Un duo improbable Une association réussie
MONROE, OLIVIER - UNE COMÉDIE ÉCLATANTE.
Photographie de MILTON GREENE
.
L'ambassade londonienne du royaume mythique de Carpathie, cadre principal du Prince et la Danseuse, se déroule dans un lieu magique où se produisent des miracles prévisibles. Un prince tombe amoureux d'une danseuse et cette dernière résout une crise politique. Mais contre toute attente, Marilyn Monroe, avec sa petite voix aiguë et son déhanchement espiègle, se mesure à la force du charisme du grand Sir Laurence Olivier, et vole la vedette à un acteur shakespearien de talent.
L'association improbable entre Marilyn et cette icône du théâtre classique donne naissance à un film brillant et captivant. Sir Laurence, qui a produit et réalisé le film pour le studio américain Warner Brothers, livre une performance impeccable dans le rôle d'un prince régent colérique en visite à Londres pour le couronnement du roi George V en 1911, en quête de détente.
Marilyn, dans le rôle de la danseuse américaine chargée de détendre l'atmosphère, est délicieusement ivre, sensuelle à jeun et adorable amoureuse. Et lorsqu'elle doit finalement renvoyer son prince charmant, sa tristesse est d'un réalisme saisissant.

MARILYN IN MANY ROLES .
The Prince and The Showgirl marks another step in Marilyn Monroe's advance from a standard movie blonde. "Her performance turned out quite a surprise to me," sais her costar and director, Sir Laurence Olivier. "She surpassed everything. I asked of her. She is a very good actress and fun to work with."
These pictures display Marilyn as a mime and she fun she has working. They were taken by Milton Greene, who brought Monroe and Olivier together. When she was at 20th Century-Fox, Greene wandered about with Marilyn photographing her in the roles she thought she would like to play. He became her adviser and part owner of her producing corporation. He served as executive producer during the filming of The Prince and The Showgirl. Now Greene-Monroe business relations are strained. But as the photographs show, one they worked well together.

MARILYN DANS DE NOMBREUX RÔLES.
Le Prince et la Danseuse marque une nouvelle étape dans l'évolution de Marilyn Monroe, qui s'éloigne des rôles de blonde classique au cinéma. « Sa performance m'a beaucoup surpris », confie son partenaire et réalisateur, Sir Laurence Olivier. « Elle a surpassé tout ce que je lui avais demandé. C'est une excellente actrice et un vrai plaisir de travailler avec elle. » Ces photos montrent Marilyn en mime, et l'on perçoit le plaisir qu'elle prend à travailler. Elles ont été prises par Milton Greene, qui a mis Monroe et Olivier en contact. À l'époque où elle travaillait pour la 20th Century-Fox, Greene accompagnait Marilyn, la photographiant dans les rôles qu'elle envisageait d'interpréter. Il est devenu son conseiller et copropriétaire de sa société de production. Il a été producteur exécutif lors du tournage du Prince et la Danseuse. Aujourd'hui, les relations professionnelles entre Greene et Monroe sont tendues. Mais comme le montrent ces photographies, ils ont su collaborer efficacement.
