Manteau en fourrure de singe de colobe noir des années 1940 aux larges épaules, avec un col en cordé, une doublure en satin et une étiquette Jerrold's Van Nuys, Californie. . A black Colobus Monkey Fur Coat from the 1940s with broad shoulders, a cordé collar, a satin lining, and a Jerrold's Van Nuys, California label. .

The monkey species used to make this fur coat is on the Endangered Species list. However, it was very fashionable in the 1940s and its fur was used extensively to make jackets and coats. .
. Il s'agit sans doute du manteau que Marilyn a acheté en décembre 1944 / janvier 1945, tel qu'elle l'écrit dans deux lettres envoyées à Grace Goddard: dans la lettre datée du 3 décembre 1944, elle écrit "J'ai découvert qu'il est possible d'acheter un manteau de singe à crédit. Je t'expliquerai plus tard."
Puis, elle confirme l'achat de ce manteau dans une lettre datée du 14 janvier 1945: "Jimmie n'est pas encore rentré mais s'attend à être à la maison à tout moment. Il m'a envoyé 100 $ pour Noël alors j'en ai mis un peu plus et je suis maintenant l'heureuse propriétaire d'un manteau de singe Gold Coast. Oh c'est tout simplement magnifique ! J'ai obtenu la meilleure qualité possible parce que je pensais que je pourrais aussi bien obtenir quelque chose qui durerait. (Je ne veux pas que tout le monde sache que ça a coûté autant que ça le devait au départ, c'est mon affaire, tu ne crois pas ?" . This is probably the coat that Marilyn bought in December 1944/January 1945, as she writes in two letters sent to Grace Goddard: in the letter dated December 3, 1944, she writes "I found out that its possible to buy a bold coast monkey coat. I shall write to you about it later." Then, she confirms the purchase of this coat in a letter dated January 14, 1945: "Jimmie hasn't come home yet but expects to be home most any time. He sent me $100.00 for Christmas so I put some more with it and I am now the happy owner of a Gold Coast monkey coat. Oh its simply beautiful! I got the finest quality obtainable because I thought I might as well get something that would last. (I don't want everyone to know that it cost as much as it did in the first place its my own business, don't you think ?" .
.
Marilyn a été photographiée avec le manteau qu'à un seul événement médiatique:
à l'avant-première du film The Emperor Waltz (La Valse de L'Empereur, film de la Paramount réalisé par Billy Wilder) le 26 mai 1948 à Hollywood, où elle s'y est rendue accompagnée de l'acteur Mickey Rooney.
