Pour célébrer les 100 ans de la naissance de Marilyn Monroe en 2026, les Etats-Unis vont organiser une grande exposition "Marilyn Monroe The Immsersive Experience", en collaboration avec le groupe Limited Runs (qui vend des tirages photographiques et détient les droits de photos de Marilyn prises par Allan Whitey Snyder, entre autres) et le fan club américain Marilyn Remembered qui existe depuis 1982. 
L'exposition, présentée telle un musée sur Marilyn, débutera au printemps 2026 à Los Angeles et s'exportera à travers d'autres grandes villes américaines (San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Boston, New York, Philadelphie, Washington DC); aucune information n'est pour le moment avancée sur une éventuelle présentation en Europe. Ce musée virtuel parcourra sa vie, son art, et son influence sur la culture. 
Plusieurs admirateurs de Marilyn soutiennent le projet: l'influenceur TikTok John Joseph qui aime le classique hollywoodien, l'actrice et influenceuse Cassidy Krygger qui poste des photos de Hollywood et fait des podcasts, et ceux connus des admirateurs de Marilyn que sont Greg Shreiner (président du fan club Marilyn Remembered qui présente sa collection sur son site The Marilyn Monroe Site ) et Scott Fortner (sa collection sur The Marilyn Monroe Collection ) qui vont donc prêter des éléments de leur collection et présenter plusieurs effets ayant appartenus à Marilyn. Le parcours sera immersif avec apparemment une Marilyn en sorte d'hologramme, des photographies en 3 D, des projections mapping, la voix de Marilyn en fond sonore, des vidéos et séquences filmées de Marilyn.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's birth in 2026, the United States will organize a major exhibition, "Marilyn Monroe The Immsersive Experience," in collaboration with the Limited Runs group (which sells photographic prints and owns the rights to photos of Marilyn taken by Allan Whitey Snyder, among others) and the American fan club Marilyn Remebered, which has existed since 1982.
The exhibition, presented as a museum about Marilyn, will open in the spring of 2026 in Los Angeles and will travel to other major American cities (San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC); no information has yet been provided on a possible presentation in Europe. This virtual museum will explore her life, her art, and her influence on culture.
Several Marilyn admirers are supporting the project: TikTok influencer John Joseph, who loves classic Hollywood, actress and influencer Cassidy Krygger, who posts photos of Hollywood and makes podcasts, and those known to Marilyn admirers, Greg Shreiner (president of the Marilyn Remebered fan club, who presents his collection on his site The Marilyn Monroe Site) and Scott Fortner (his collection on The Marilyn Monroe Collection), who will therefore lend elements of their collection and present several effects that belonged to Marilyn. The journey will be immersive, apparently with a Marilyn in a sort of hologram, 3D photographs, mapping projections, Marilyn's voice in the background, videos and films footage of Marilyn.

.Divers (7 lots)

 Lot 24: Paddy Chayefsky, Copy of the First Draft of "The Goddess" Screenplay
A  c.1979 xerox of Chayefsky's original 132-page first draft script of The Goddess (Columbia Pictures, 1958) with original date of April 1, 1957, bound with brads in blue wrappers. Laid in is a note from agent Paul Schwartzman on ICM notepaper that reads, "After 22 years! / Paul." Revised scripts for the film are 126 pages so this first draft features additional scenes and dialogue. 
Chayefsky's script for The Goddess chronicled in three acts the rise and self-destruction of a Marilyn Monroe-like actress and was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Original Screenplay. The performance of Stanley, sometimes referred to as "the female Brando" during her heyday, is considered one of the all-time greats, and contemporary actresses such as Jessica Lange and Meryl Streep have spoken about watching her in the film when they need to be reminded of great screen acting.
Provenance: Estate of Paddy Chayefsky
Estimate: $500 - $700 USD / Sold: $1,300

 Lot 25: Paddy Chayefsky, "The Goddess" Original Billboard Concept Art 
Original pencil on paper billboard concept art for the film The Goddess (Columbia Pictures, 1958), written by Paddy Chayefsky. The billboard features an image of Kim Stanley and is annotated, likely by the artist or a marketing executive: 
"Paddy, You can imagine the way a Billboard would look at night with the face against the sky. Regards," (signed illegibly) and "Suggest head be done by / Joe de Mers n.y.c. / Austin Biggs n.y.c. / Rene Robert Boreche n.y.c."
The Goddess, a tragic film with a highly regarded lead performance by Kim Stanley, is loosely based on Marilyn Monroe.
Provenance: Estate of Paddy Chayefsky
Estimate: $200 - $300 USD / Sold: $125

 Lot 26: Paddy Chayefsky, Framed Kim Stanley Portrait, Framed Vintage "The Goddess" Poster
Columbia Pictures, 1958. A black and white framed photographic portrait of Kim Stanley, together with a vintage film poster of The Goddess, in which she starred (likely a half-sheet with its white border trimmed or concealed by the frame). Both are from Chayefsky's personal collection. Chayefsky received an Academy Award nomination for "Best Writing - Story and Screenplay, Written Directly for the Screen" for the tragic film, loosely based on the life of Marilyn Monroe.
Provenance: Estate of Paddy Chayefsky
Estimate: $100 - $200 USD / Sold: $325

 Lot 123: Marilyn Monroe 1995 Huge Collection of USPS First Day of Issue Covers/Stamps

(Please know our illustration does not do justice to this lot!)
To commemorate the unveiling of the Marilyn Monroe stamp on June 1, 1995 [oddly, her 69th birthday instead of 70th], the United States Postal Service collaborated with artists, USPS branches around the country, foreign countries, philatelists, Universal Studios, and the then popular Planet Hollywood restuarant chain to create unique 'First Day of Issue Covers' such as the ones in this collection; many hundreds of individuals, groups, and institutions participated due to Marilyn's perpetual popularity.

A 1994 Fender Custom Shop Playboy 40th Anniversary Stratocaster electric guitar, #80 of 175, finished in black with a nude Marilyn Monroe in the style of the famous Tom Kelley photographs airbrushed on the front by artist Pamelina H.

The headstock wears six gold plated vintage-style tuners and has a red Fender logo and a nude woman in thigh-length black boots above it as well as a 'Playboy 40' logo.

Sheree Goes in For Marilyn (p. 65)
BLOND MISS NORTH GETS OFF BENCH FOR FIRST OF MONROE ROLES
.
The energetic young lady above is in a peculiar position in more ways than one. She is champagne-haired, bop-tongued movie hopeful Sheree North, 22 (see cover), and her employers, 20th Century Fox, have kept her on ice merely as a decoy to scare Marilyn Monroe, recently suspended for turning gown scripts. Now in exasperation they have finally cast her in the first Marilyn's rejected parts. In "How to Be Very, Very Popular" she plays a hypnotized chrous girl who hides out in a boy's college, and many people who fell that Sheree behaves like a hypnotized chorine most of the time anyhow think she's a shoo-in. But not Sheree - worried about replacing Monroe ("Let's not kid... Marilyn's an institution like Coca-Cola and who's gonna replace that ?") - the ex-hoofer is engaged in a frantic last-minute build-up of exercice (above), reducing, hairstyling and wardrobing (next pages). Avoiding comparison with Marilyn, shrewd Miss North says, "Let's just say she takes a bigger lead offa foirst base than I do - you print that and let the reader figure it ou."

NAUGHTER EARLIER DAYS (p. 66)
Like Miss Monroe, who is hungrier days posed for calendar art (left), Dancer Sheree North posed for some middly sexy "home movies" (below) and like Marilyn won much more in publicity than in cash payments. In 1954 the U.S. Post Office branded the films obscene and stopped the producer's mail, he claimed. But the objection was later withdrawn and Sheree said, "I meant no offense... why I never did a bump or gring in my life... it's just interpretive dancing." Her present movie job, with dancing cut to a minimum, is mainly "standing there all day holdin' my eyes open."

Picture caption:
"SLEVE DANCE" was one of film Sheree did in 1950 to which U.S. Post Office objected. "They paid me $
50 each," she said. "I needed the money.".

Sheree tente sa chance en Marilyn (p. 65)
LA BLONDE NORTH FRANCHIT L'OBSTACLE POUR POUR SON PREMIER RÔLE DE MONROE
.
Cette jeune femme dynamique se trouve dans une situation particulière à plus d'un titre. Sheree North, 22 ans (voir couverture), est une jeune espoir du cinéma aux cheveux couleur champagne et à la langue bien pendue. Son employeur, la 20th Century Fox, l'a longtemps mise de côté, la considérant comme un leurre pour intimider Marilyn Monroe, récemment suspendue pour avoir refusé des scénarios. Exaspérés, les producteurs lui ont finalement offert le premier rôle initialement refusé par Marilyn. Dans « How to be very, very Popular », elle incarne une choriste hypnotisée qui se cache dans un pensionnat de garçons. Nombreux sont ceux qui, trouvant Sheree naturelle dans le rôle d'une danseuse hypnotisée, la voient déjà comme une candidate idéale. Mais pas Sheree – inquiète à l'idée de remplacer Monroe (« Soyons honnêtes… Marilyn est une institution, comme Coca-Cola, et qui va la remplacer ? ») – l'ancienne danseuse de claquettes s'affaire frénétiquement aux derniers préparatifs : exercices (ci-dessus), amincissement, coiffure et choix de la garde-robe (pages suivantes). Évitant toute comparaison avec Marilyn, la perspicace Miss North déclare : « Disons simplement qu'elle a une plus grande avance sur ses bases que moi – écrivez ça et laissez le lecteur en tirer ses conclusions. »

LES DEBUTS DES FILLES (p. 66)
À l'instar de Marilyn Monroe, qui, dans sa jeunesse, posa pour des calendriers (à gauche), la danseuse Sheree North tourna quelques films amateurs plutôt suggestifs (ci-dessous) et, comme Marilyn, gagna bien plus en publicité qu'en argent. En 1954, la poste américaine jugea les films obscènes et bloqua le courrier du producteur, selon ses dires. Mais l'objection fut retirée par la suite et Sheree déclara : « Je ne voulais offenser personne… c'est pourquoi je n'ai jamais fait de danse suggestive de ma vie… c'est juste de la danse d'interprétation. » Son travail actuel au cinéma, où la danse est réduite au minimum, consiste principalement à « rester debout toute la journée, les yeux ouverts ».

« SLEVE DANCE » est l'un des films que Sheree a tournés en 1950 et qui a suscité l'objection de la poste américaine. « Ils m'ont payée 50 dollars chacun », a-t-elle déclaré. « J'avais besoin d'argent. »

A STAR'S BUILD-UP (p.68) 
Although her producer-writer-director, Nunnaly Johnson, who first cast Marilyn in role, says he is "determined that this girl won't open her mouth once in the entire picture," he is taking no chances on Sheree's apperance either. He argued for a wig, because her natural brunet hair was too short, but she protested "wigs fell like cantaloupes on my head." In 'Hazel Flagg', Broadway show which gor Sheree rave notices for a Salome dance, she bleached her hair so much during out-of-town tryouts that most of it went down the drain during her pre-opening night shampoo.

L'ASCENSION D'UNE STAR (p. 68)
Bien que son producteur, scénariste et réalisateur, Nunnaly Johnson, qui avait initialement choisi Marilyn pour le rôle, affirme être « déterminé à ce que cette fille n'ouvre pas la bouche une seule fois dans tout le film », il ne prend aucun risque non plus quant à l'apparence de Sheree. Il a insisté pour qu'elle porte une perruque, car ses cheveux bruns naturels étaient trop courts, mais elle a protesté : « Les perruques me tombaient sur la tête comme des melons. » Dans « Hazel Flagg », spectacle de Broadway qui a valu à Sheree des critiques élogieuses pour sa danse de Salomé, elle s'est tellement décoloré les cheveux pendant les répétitions en province que la majeure partie a fini dans la bonde lors de son shampoing la veille de la première.

- Après l'effort physique, le bain de vapeur lui évite les raideurs et l'aide à se détendre.

INTERVIEW OF A FAMOUS USHER (p. 178)
In Hollywood another had her place (see p. 65), but in New York when the shapely blonde sheathed in white brocade arrived an hour late for her usherette's job at the premiere of East of Eden, she created such a commotion that the show itself was delayed for a half hour. At a champagne party given afterward she got an appreciative eye from Jinx Falkenburg. Then Marilyn Monroe slipped quietly away and the party subsided.

INTERVIEW D'UNE CÉLÈBRE HÔTESSE DE SALLE (p. 178)
À Hollywood, une autre avait sa place (voir p. 65), mais à New York, lorsque la blonde plantureuse, vêtue d'une robe de brocart blanc, arriva avec une heure de retard à son poste d'ouvreuse à la première d'À l'est d'Éden, elle provoqua un tel tumulte que la projection fut retardée d'une demi-heure. Lors de la réception au champagne qui suivit, elle reçut le regard admiratif de Jinx Falkenburg. Puis Marilyn Monroe s'éclipsa discrètement et la fête se termina.

L'irrésistible ascension d'une jeune comédienne ambitieuse au détriment d'une star sur le déclin... Un conte cruel ciselé par Joseph L. Mankiewicz, avec l'étincelante Bette Davis et une des premières apparitions de Marilyn Monroe. 
.
Ève Harrington, une comédienne débutante, reçoit un prix prestigieux couronnant la meilleure actrice de théâtre de l'année. Comment est-elle arrivée au sommet si rapidement ? Flash-back : un an plus tôt, Ève, admiratrice éperdue de la star Margo Channing, la guette chaque soir à la sortie des artistes. Un jour, la jeune femme est invitée à rencontrer son idole dans sa loge. Elle sait aussitôt se rendre indispensable et se fait engager comme secrétaire particulière. Petit à petit, son champ d'action s'élargit jusqu'à influer sur la vie entière de Margo Channing. Quelle toile tisse-t-elle et dans quel but ?
.
Star à tout prix
Comment les portes du paradis s'ouvrent-elles ? Comment aller jusqu'au bout de son ambition quitte à trahir ceux à qui vous devez tout ? Plus que le portrait d'une jeune arriviste prête à toutes les intrigues, Ève dépeint brillamment les pratiques en cours dans le milieu codifié du théâtre. C'est donc à une impitoyable étude de mœurs que se livre Joseph L. Mankiewicz, en observateur cinglant des rapports humains ("Soudain l'été dernier", "La comtesse aux pieds nus"). Perte des valeurs, égoïsme, manipulation, le cinéaste américain inocule le trouble en inversant les attentes : la star expérimentée (et bientôt déchue) et a priori capricieuse (étincelante Bette Davis) devient la proie du tendron, et se révèle attachante et plus séduisante que jamais. Serti de dialogues affûtés comme des poignards, un réquisitoire raffiné, avec, en prime, une des premières apparitions conséquentes de Marilyn Monroe.
