Marilyn confie à Barris: "La période la plus heureuse de ma vie, c'est en ce moment... L'avenir est devant moi, et j'ai hâte d'y être, ça va être passionnant ! J'ai l'impression que je commence à peine: je veux jouer dans des comédies, des tragédies, un mélange des deux... Je n'ai aucun regret car, si j'ai commis des erreurs, je suis seule responsable... J'aime beaucoup rester ici (en Californie) mais, de temps en temps, j'ai des envies de New York. Alors, tout ce que j'ai à faire c'est fermer les portes [de devant et de derrière] et partir. J'aime bien avoir un ancrage solide."
 
Marilyn tells to to GB: "The happiest time of my life is now... There's a future and I can't wait to get to it -it should be intereting ! I feel I'm just getting started; I want to do comedy, tragedy, interspersed... I have no regrets, because if I made any mistakes, I was responsible... I like to stay here (in California) but every once in awhile I get that feeling for New York. Here all I have to do is lock the [front and back] doors and go. I like ground to stand on."

Marilyn s'était achetée une maison à Brentwood, mais sans aucun meuble. Elle était partie à Mexico pour en acheter, dans le style local, et elle attendait leur livraison.
Marilyn à Barris: "On ne peut pas prendre de photos ici alors que ça n'a pas l'air fini ? Comment faire ?
-Si tu préfères, on retourne dans la maison de Catalina, celle de ton premier mari, je peux m'arranger.
-Non, je ne veux pas y retourner.
-J'ai un ami [Tim Leimert] qui vit du côté de Hollywood Hills. Sa maison serait parfaite. Je lui en ai parlé et il m'a dit qu'il voulait juste une photo de toi avec lui, en souvenir. Tu n'es pas obligée si tu n'as pas envie.
-Non, c'est très bien."

Marilyn bought a new house in Brentwood but it wasn't furnished. She had gone to Mexico to furnish it Mexican style. She was waiting for the furniture to arrive.
Marilyn to Barris: "How can we photograph there if it doesn't look right ? What can we do ?
-If you want to go back where you lived with your first husband in Catalina, I'll try.
-No, I don't want to go back.
-My friend's home in the Hollywood Hills would be perfect. When I brought it up, he said all he wants is a picture of you and him as a souvenir. You don't have to do it if you don't want to.
-No, it's okay."

Dernière photo: un baiser au photographe
Last picture: a kiss to the photographer

Après le bain de mer, Marilyn a froid. Vers 19h30, le photographe lui dit: "Marilyn, c'est la dernière photo que je prends de toi." Se penchant vers lui, elle répond: "D'accord, George. Celle-là est juste pour toi." Elle fronce les lèvres et lui envoie un baiser, en ajoutant: "Pour toi et pour le reste du monde. C'est avec cette photo que je veux qu'on se souvienne de moi."
After to have swimmed in the sea, Marilyn has cold. At around 7:30, the photographe says to her: "Marilyn, this is the last picture I'm going to take of you." Leaning forward him, she answers: "Alright, George, this is just for you." She puckers her lips and throws a kiss to him, adding: "This is for you and the world and this is the picture I want to be remembered by."

Lot 821: MARILYN MONROE CECIL BEATON TRIPTYCH
A three-panel sterling silver custom-made Cartier frame, gifted to Marilyn Monroe by Nedda and Joshua Logan. The center frame houses a black and white silver gelatin print of the portrait Cecil Beaton took of Monroe in 1956. This image is purported to be Monroe’s favorite image of herself. The portrait is mounted to board and signed on matte by Beaton. The center frame is engraved at the top “For Marilyn Monroe Miller” and at the bottom “Love Nedda and Joshua Logan.” Joshua Logan directed Monroe in her 1956 film Bus Stop . The left and right frames house a handwritten letter from Beaton describing Monroe. It reads in part, “But the real marvel is the paradox – somehow we know that this extraordinary performance is pure charade, a little girl’s caricature of Mae West. The puzzling truth is that Miss Monroe is a make-believe siren, unsophisticated as a Rhine maiden, innocent as a sleepwalker. She is an urchin pretending to be grown-up, having the time of her life in mother’s moth-eaten finery, tottering about in high-heeled shoes and sipping gingerale as though it were a champagne cocktail. There is an otherworldly, a winsome naiveté about the child’s eyes… .” The portrait can be seen in images of Monroe’s living room, where it was housed from 1956 until the actress’ death in 1962.
Please note: This item will not be available for shipment or pick-up until January 1, 2015.
