Le dimanche 12 juin 1955, Marilyn Monroe donne une interview à la radio de NBC, en répondant aux questions du journaliste Dave Garroway dans la première émission de NBC Monitor de 20h00 à 20h30.
Marilyn exprime son admiration pour la ville de Brooklyn, son "lieu préféré au monde", "la meilleure vue, les gens, les rues, l'atmosphère"; et quand le journaliste lui demande quelle sont ses personnes préférées à New York, elle répond en premier "Ella Fitzgerald, la plus grande chanteuse", puis Frank Sinatra pour son "style" et aussi Sammy Davis Jr.
La chanson "Heat Wave" est diffusée et dans le reste de l'entretien, Marilyn exprime son désir de s'accomplir en tant qu'actrice, ses débuts à la Fox où durant un an, elle n'a tourné que dans "Scudda Hoo Scudda Hay"; qu'elle est reconnaissante pour son succès mais que parfois elle souhaite être elle-même à l'extérieur et elle porte une perruque pour se fondre dans la masse.
Quand Garroway lui demande quel serait l'objet qu'elle sauverait s'il y aurait le feu chez elle, elle répond des "livres".

On Sunday June 12, 1955, Marilyn Monroe gives an interview on NBC radio, answering questions from reporter Dave Garroway on the first NBC Monitor show from 8:00 p.m to 8:30 p.m.
Marilyn expresses her admiration for the city of Brooklyn, her "favorite place in the world", "the best view, the people, the streets, the atmosphere" and whe  the journalist asks to her what is her favorite people in New York, she answers first "Ella Fitzgerald, the greatest singer", and Frank Sinatra for his "style" and also Sammy Davis Jr.
The song "Heat Wave" is played and in the rest of the interview, Marilyn expresses her desire to accomplish herself as an actress, her debut at Fox where for a year, she only shot in "Scudda Hoo Scudda Hay"; that she is grateful for her success but sometimes she wishes to be herself outside and she wears a wig to be like anyboy.
When Garroway asks her what material thing she would save if there was a fire in her house, she replies some "books".

The left and right frames house a handwritten letter from Cecil 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.
PROVENANCE Lot 22, “The Personal Property of Marilyn Monroe,” Christie’s, New York, Sale number 9216, October 27 & 28, 1999.
