Six documents referencing an agreement, and the dissolution thereof, between Marilyn Monroe and Ben Hecht regarding his authoring her life story.
Included is a facsimile copy of the originally signed agreement between Monroe and Hecht, dated March 16, 1954, in which the terms of the agreement are exceedingly clear. Three unsigned carbon copies of this same agreement are included.

Hecht partnered with Monroe to write her life story, which was to be published only in the Ladies' Home Journal magazine.

Included with this letter is a torn portion of the original mailing envelope with Snively's typed mailing address.

It is interesting to note that Snively attempted to stay in contact with Marilyn throughout the star's career.

The February 24 letter references Rosten's W4 form, postage expenses and a salary increase. The second letter, dated "May 22 or 23," references mailing a photo and petty cash. The third and final letter, dated July 10, references two bills that were evidently enclosed, along with a line reading "They say all business comes to a standstill in N.Y. in the summer." As Redmond began working for Marilyn in 1962, these letters reference business conducted during the final year of her life and provide an interesting look into the levels and types of administrative support Monroe needed.

Lot 127: MARILYN MONROE: PAULA STRASBERG ANNOTATED "BUS STOP" SCRIPT
A bound final draft of the screenplay for Bus Stop (Twentieth Century Fox, 1956) that personally belonged to Marilyn Monroe's acting coach Paula Strasberg and is annotated by her throughout. The blue cover is printed with the words "Bus Stop / February 27, 1956" in the center, "652" in the upper left, "Final" in the upper right, "147" in the lower right, "Property of Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation" at the bottom, and has the initials "PMS" (for Paula Miller Strasberg) written in ink near the top. The script is 123 pages long and features many blue revision pages. Strasberg circled every mention of Monroe's character's name Cherie in red ink and wrote her notes throughout in both red ink and pencil and in some cases crossed out portions of Cherie's dialogue.
The release of Bus Stop in 1956 marked a turning point in Monroe's career. It was the first film she starred in after beginning to study with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in 1955. Strasberg's wife Paula became Monroe's personal acting coach accompanying her to the set during filming, sometimes to the consternation of the film's director. Monroe's performance as the ambitious but somewhat untalented "chanteuse" from the Ozarks was met with much acclaim and helped elevate her reputation as an actress to be taken seriously within the film industry.

The top left side of the cover is stamped "822" and the right top has the words "Complete A.M."

A single loose page of white paper is typewritten with the words "154 (old script)" at the top and features an exchange of dialogue between the characters Jean and Amanda.
Let's Make Love was Monroe's second to last completed film and her final musical movie. She portrayed actress Amanda Dell who is rehearsing an off-Broadway revue that spoofs a headline-making billionaire named Jean-Marc Clement (Yves Montand), who, by accident, becomes cast as himself and falls in love with Monroe's character. The film earned more than $6 million at the box office upon release.

The document is labeled "Evaluation of Student's Progress" and while most of his teacher's comments are favorable, she also notes "He seems always to be on a high pitch of tension, and is having difficulty in settling, which leads to brief times of just not trying to do anything, and then spurts of trying. With reassurance from the adults in his life he will gain the security he needs to relax."
Also included are mimeographed pages of the April and May 1960 issues of the Oak Hall News-Roundup, the newsletter of the school Bobby later attended.

On the left side are red, white, and blue blocks on which most of the celebrities have signed their names. One the right side is a photograph of President Kennedy with Monroe's signature beneath his face. On the far right is ephemera related to a previous sale of the program.

Monroe famously called in sick to filming Something's Got To Give at 20th Century Fox studios in Los Angeles to fly to New York in serenade the president with a sultry rendition of "Happy Birthday, Mister President" while wearing a sheer, skin-tight Jean-Louis gown that she'd been sewn-into just before the event.

Description (quatrième de couverture): “Does anyone really want to know what caused the death of Marilyn Monroe?”
The long afterlife of cultural and cinematic icon Marilyn Monroe has created a tragic paradox.
In this post-truth era, Monroe has been recast as a victim of powerful men, a virtual simulacrum of desire and death. The sensational narrative constantly regurgitated in media reports, books, and documentaries rests on a stacked deck of hearsay and outright lies. Conspiracy theories offer a simplistic, yet tantalizing, framing device for the abundance of information hurled at us by global mass media.
In an explosive takedown, Gary Vitacco - Robles – author of Icon: The Life Times, and Films of Marilyn Monroe – unpacks the falsehoods perpetuated by a rogues’ gallery of shadowy opportunists. With surgical skill, he separates fact from fiction, probable theory from outlandish rumor. As a practicing psychotherapist, the author is uniquely qualified to re-examine Monroe’s lifelong struggle with mental illness and spiraling addiction to medications liberally prescribed by successive doctors.
In this definitive study - based upon decades of research, legitimate sources, the never-before-released Los Angeles District Attorney’s investigation, and police investigations from 1962, 1975, and 1985 - the reader is presented with facts to finally learn the truth about how Monroe died and who was responsible.

Documentaire:  Jack Lemmon,
Une vie de cinéma

Réalisation: Julia Kuperberg, Clara Kuperberg
Pays: France
Année: 2020
Durée: 54 min

Portrait d'un "Monsieur tout-le-monde" faussement lisse, dont Billy Wilder sut révéler avec fracas la démesure de grand acteur dans les sept films qu'ils tournèrent ensemble, parmi lesquels "Certains l'aiment chaud", "La garçonnière", "Irma la douce" et "Avanti, avanti"

George Cukor et, surtout, Billy Wilder furent ses parrains de cinéma, à lui qui se rêvait comédien de théâtre. Remarqué à Broadway au début des années 1950, ce fils de bonne famille est recruté par Harry Cohn grâce à son passage par Harvard, qui impressionne le patron de la Columbia. Qu'importe si l'université de Jack Lemmon a consisté, entre deux cours d'art dramatique, à jouer du piano dans les bars et à tester ses mimiques de simplet dans des séries télévisées de seconde zone. "Faites-en moins", l'exhorte Cukor sur le plateau d'Une femme qui s'affiche (1954), son premier grand rôle à Hollywood. Derrière le débit de mitraillette et le physique de bon garçon inoffensif, parfait "boy next door " (jeune Monsieur Tout-le-Monde) de l'Amérique proprette des années 1950, il travaille l'intériorité. Un double fond que Billy Wilder, en démiurge génial, va déceler et révéler avec fracas en 1959 dans son chef-d'œuvre de fantaisie subversive, Certains l'aiment chaud. Travesti tout comme Tony Curtis, mais, à sa différence, courtisé avec ardeur par un vieux milliardaire, Jack Lemmon interprète à la perfection le sous-texte alors hautement sulfureux du scénario, sans pour autant se départir de son air innocent. Cette capacité subtile à "faire passer" l'impensable, dans un Hollywood encore dominé par l'impitoyable code Hays, fait de lui l'un des acteurs fétiches de Wilder, qui lui offrira trois autres merveilleux rôles, en sept films au total : l'employé aliéné de La garçonnière (1960), l'agent de police maquereau d'Irma la douce (1963) et l'homme d'affaires coincé d'Avanti, avanti (1972).

Grave et léger
Tissé d'archives et d'extraits de films, commentés par deux spécialistes américains du cinéma, ce bel hommage à Jack Lemmon, qui rêvait de mourir sur scène et aura travaillé presque jusqu'à la fin, se concentre sur les multiples facettes de son art et son insatiable appétit pour le jeu, au travers de ses rôles les plus mémorables. Alcoolique chez Blake Edwards (Le jour du vin et des roses), petit chef d'entreprise au bord de la faillite (Sauvez le tigre, qu'il coproduit en 1973, rôle qui lui vaut son second Oscar après celui reçu pour Permission jusqu’à l’aube en 1956), Américain moyen découvrant la réalité du coup d'État de Pinochet (Missing, de Costa-Gavras, en 1982)… Engagé à gauche, mais toujours discret, grave dans la comédie, léger dans le drame, Jack Lemmon continue à filmer après l'avènement du "Nouvel Hollywood", et bien au-delà : Drôle de couple II, dernier des neuf films qu'il tourne, pour le meilleur et pour le pire, avec son vieux complice Walter Matthau, sort en 1998, trois ans avant sa mort.

Description: S'il reste encore un mystère dans le destin médiatisé de Marilyn Monroe, c'est le nom de son père. Toute sa vie, elle n'aura eu de cesse de chercher celui qui lui a tant manqué. À travers ses relations
amoureuses, dans ses rôles, cette absence de figure paternelle marquera sa vie.
Soixante ans après, François Pomès s'est fixé pour objectif d'identifier le père de Marilyn. Durant trois années, il a mené une incroyable enquête, rencontrant de nombreux témoins qui lui ont permis de brosser un portrait intime, inédit, de la star. Mais son éclair de génie sera d'utiliser les progrès de la génétique et de l'analyse de l'ADN pour découvrir l'identité du père biologique de Marilyn.
Lors de ses investigations, l'auteur va miraculeusement trouver le collectionneur de l'unique mèche de cheveux de la star qui va révéler le nom de ses descendants et celui de son père.
Les résultats lèveront le voile sur le dernier secret entourant l'une des plus grandes icônes du XXe siècle, lui donnant post mortem ce père qu'elle chercha toute sa vie.

NB: François Pomés est le réalisateur du documentaire "Marilyn la dernière vérité" diffusé en 2022 dans lequel il confirme l'identité du père de Marilyn (Charles Stanley Gifford) à travers des analyses d'ADN.

Description: Tanya Lopert a côtoyé les plus grands acteurs, de Marlon Brando à Gérard Depardieu, en passant par Marilyn Monroe ou Elizabeth Taylor, et tourné avec les plus grands réalisateurs, de Fellini à Polanski. A 80 ans, elle revient sur sa carrière de comédienne " ratée ", elle qui a attendu toute sa vie, en vain, le grand rôle qui ferait d'elle une star.

"En 1971, jeune comédienne, je passe une audition pour une pièce où joue Bernard Blier. Quand la lecture commence, un trac incontrôlable me saisit et je bute sur tous les mots. 'L'Américaine devrait prendre des cours de théâtre', lance Blier du fond de la salle. Je sors de scène effondrée. De retour à la maison, j'annonce à mon mari qu'il ne me reste qu'une chose à faire : me foutre en l'air. Heureusement, un nouveau projet va me permettre de faire mes vrais débuts sur les planches. Aujourd'hui, je réalise à quel point mon existence fut remplie, bien que je n'aie jamais été célèbre. Membre de l'Actors Studio, j'ai eu la chance de vivre les plus belles années de Hollywood et du cinéma français. "

Avec humour et un grand sens de l'autodérision, Tanya Lopert déroule le film de sa vie, livrant quantité d'anecdotes sur ses amies les stars. Elle dévoile un monde magique et cruel, où les rêves volent parfois en éclats.
