A facsimile conformed copy of Marilyn Monroe's Last Will and Testament dated January 14, 1961 belonging to Marilyn's assistant and private secretary May Reis. Present are three pages setting forth the manner of distribution of the assets of Marilyn Monroe. May Reis was one of a handful of individuals to whom Marilyn left her assets.. 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

/ Avertissement / Mark Bellinghaus est un personnage très controversé au sein de la communauté des fans de Marilyn, qui cherche aussi à faire parler de lui. Ancien acteur allemand, aujourd'hui activiste et blogger, il s'est attaqué à plusieurs reprises envers des fans innocents de Marilyn, qui ont ainsi mené une pétition et engagé des poursuites (voir le site victims of MB). Ne connaissant pas la totalité des faits, je ne cherche pas à prendre parti; d'un côté je considère les actions de Bellinghaus envers les dénonciations de fraudes autour de Marilyn étant parfaitement louables; mais de l'autre côté, la férocité de son action dépasse parfois les limites, et je trouve dommage qu'il s'attaque injustement à de pauvres fans qui veulent simplement commémorer la mémoire de Marilyn !

---------

Mark Bellinghaus est un fan et collectionneur invétéré de Marilyn Monroe. Il est aussi très engagé dans la lutte des fraudes concernant la star et dénonce les sois disants objets et autres vêtements personnels de Marilyn revendus à des prix fous, ainsi que les fausses expositions etc... Il veut démontrer que désormais le seul nom de "Marilyn Monroe" est une véritable entreprise qui rapporte des millions à des personnes malveillantes voulant abuser des fans.
