Photographies

Lot 89009 -  A Marilyn Monroe Signed Black and White Photograph, 1955.
An original print with a glossy finish, an enlarged snapshot depicting the star wearing a white evening gown and a white fur coat, signed in blue ballpoint ink in the lower right corner "To Jim / Love & Kisses / Marilyn Monroe;" from the personal collection of James Collins, one of the 'Monroe Six' -- the group of young kids who followed Marilyn around NYC so often that the star ended up knowing them all by name and allowing them special access to her (like letting them take countless pictures and giving them numerous autographs); included is a black and white photograph of Collins: an original print with a matte finish, depicting Collins as a teenager in 1955 standing at a typewriter that was set up outside of a shop on an NYC street, verso is stamped in part "Life Magazine / ...Photo by Michael Rouger / ... Apr 13 1955;" Collins remembers that this photograph of him actually ran in the magazine with a caption noting what he had just typed which was "Marilyn Monroe is a beautiful girl." (Please note the photograph of MM is heavily wrinkled on the lower margin and has a 1 1/2" tear in same area which somewhat affects her signature; the photograph of Collins is heavily wrinkled with two lower corners missing.)
10" x 8"  
More Information:
"Marilyn Monroe is a beautiful girl!" were the words I was typing when as a 17 year-old, this picture of me was shot by a photographer from LifeMagazine in 1955. The photo, which actually appeared in the magazine a couple of months later, launched my own collection of Marilyn Monroe photos taken overseveral years by me and fivefellow teenage fans who became known as "The Monroe 6." During Marilyn's time in New York, I and the others photographed herin various locations around the city. We would then run to the drugstore to get our snapshots developed in multiples so that all of us could have all the shots we had taken of her (thus the reason for the different shapes and sizes of the photos my collection). In the era before Google and GPS and TMZ and smartphones, we were alerted to Marilyn's appearancesand whereabouts by sources ranging fromVariety Magazinetoher Upper East Side hairdresser. Marilyn got to know the six of us well as we journeyed around the city with her and I remember her always being gracious and friendly. We wanted nothing from her except the opportunity to take her picture or to get her autograph - and often times she would sign on the very photographs we had just taken of her the day before. After Marilyn died, I put these photographs in a closet for many decades, though over the last few years, I have posted a few of them on the Internet for fans to see. I am now ready to let others have my original 1950s-era snapshots of the movie star I had the luck and pleasure to see many times up close and in the flesh - Miss Marilyn Monroe! And she did not disappoint - she was absolutely beautiful as all these photos clearly indicate. When you saw her in person, shewas THE movie star, no doubt about it!

Plastic Reel: 7"; Metal Reels: 5"

Description: Été 2012. Nouveau-Mexique. Un couple de voyageurs égaré sur une route déserte est témoin d'un incendie. Dans les décombres fumants, ils trouvent un cadavre carbonisé et des journaux intimes dont certaines pages ont échappé aux flammes. Avant d'alerter les autorités, ils commencent à les lire. Leur auteur raconte sa vie de reclus avec une compagne qu'il qualifie de "monstre". Il partage des souvenirs liés à Marilyn Monroe, dévoile des faits et des confidences que seul un proche de l'actrice était en mesure de connaître. Cette découverte va mener le couple de surprise en surprise et révéler sur la star ce qui ne pouvait être dit jusqu'à aujourd'hui. 
À partir des faits réels, des archives fédérales, des témoignages, des rapports d'enquêtes et des expertises médicales, Philip Le Roy nous emmène, avec ce thriller haletant, aux côtés de Marilyn Monroe et présente une thèse plausible de sa disparition, aussi stupéfiante qu'inédite.

Description: Eunice, Whitey, Agnes, Ralph, Ralph encore, mais aussi Paula, Inez, Larry, Evelyn, Cherie, Bert et Pat.
C’est à leurs côtés que Marilyn Monroe vécut ses derniers mois à Los Angeles en 1962. Des amis, des collaborateurs, des proches… en réalité quasiment tous ses employés. Pas un parmi eux du moins dont le quotidien professionnel n’était alors directement lié à sa relation privilégiée avec l’actrice. Et tous virent leur destin bouleversé à la mort de la star.
Gouvernante, maquilleur, coiffeuse, masseur, psychanalyste, coach, comptable, photographe, doublure, publiciste… Une armée des ombres à la hiérarchie subtile et mouvante, composée d’alliés des débuts et de nouvelles recrues, de forts en tête et de discrets, de grands pros et de bras cassés. Un entourage à défaut d’une famille, au sein duquel cohabitaient rivalités larvées, inimitiés affichées, soupçons de trahison et, parfois, franche camaraderie. Que signifiait pourtant à l’époque côtoyer la plus grande des stars d’Hollywood ? L’une des plus douées mais aussi l’une des plus complexes. Attachante et terriblement exigeante. Généreuse mais aussi capable d’injustice.
90 ans ! Si elle avait survécu à la nuit du 4 août 1962, Marilyn Monroe fêterait bientôt ses 90 ans (le 1er juin 2016). Qui étaient ces douze individus, ultimes témoins de ses derniers instants, et quelles relations entretenaient-ils avec celle qui mourut à trente-six ans, adulée de tous, mais seule dans sa maison de Brentwood à peine meublée ? Certains ont sombré dans l’oubli, d’autres ont été accusés de négligence ou même de meurtre. Certains se sont toujours refusés aux confidences, d’autres ont fait de leur lien éphémère avec l’icône un commerce. Presque tous ont disparu. Douze personnages héros du roman-vrai des derniers mois de Marilyn en 1962.
