lot 981: MARILYN MONROE INSCRIBED PHOTOGRAPH
A photograph of Marilyn Monroe mounted to board and inscribed on the board “Oh George,/ You’re a genius!/ Marilyn Monroe.” The black and white image was taken by Cecil Beaton and said to be Monroe’s favorite image of herself.
The consignor relates that in the late 1950s he attended an event at Frank Sinatra’s Palm Springs home as a guest of Sammy Davis Jr. The consignor remembers the photograph being given by Monroe, who was also a guest of Sinatra’s, to Davis’ valet, whom he named as “George.” This is a possible inaccuracy and may have been given to Frank Sinatra’s longtime valet, George Jacobs. The consignor was given the image by the valet George, who said he could not take the item back to Los Angeles. The consignor has had the photograph in his possession since that time.

Beige Dress
robe beige au gros noeud 

Cette robe beige a été conçue par le créateur et couturier de la 20th Century Fox, William "Billy" Travilla pour le film There's no business like show business (La Joyeuse Parade) tourné au printemps / été 1954. Marilyn Monroe fit les essais de test costumes pour cette robe le 26 juin 1954:

Dans le film, elle porte la tenue dans une courte séquence, avec une scène où elle est dans le bureau des dirigeants et dans l'autre, elle discute avec Donald O'Connor (sur le blog: voir les captures , les photos de la scène , du tournage):

C'est une robe en laine, avec un col cravate drapé, qui forme un gros noeud au niveau du court décolleté en V. La robe est accompagnée d'un fourreau en renard doublé à l'intérieur de soie, de couleur miel. C'est une tenue chic et plutôt sage pour Marilyn, de par la longueur de la robe (au niveau des mollet), et elle n'a pas de décolleté plongeant, et couvre l'ensemble du corps, sans trop mouler ce dernier, bien qu'elle se porte près du corps et souligne la silhouette.
La tenue est accessoirisée par des gants de même couleur, ce qui renforce l'aspect sobre et chic de la tenue.

Marilyn ne va porter cette tenue qu'une seule fois en public: le 9 septembre 1954, lors de son arrivée à New York pour les besoins du tournage de "Seven Year Itch" (Sept ans de rélfexion), où Marilyn, dans toute sa splendeur, va briller devant les journalistes très nombreux venus l'acceuillir, en envoyant une multitude de baisers à ses admirateurs présents sur le tarmac et en croisant et décroisant les jambes à de multiples reprises, afin d'accentuer son côté sexy et glamour:
