15/09/1954 NYC - Sur le tournage de The Seven Year Itch partie 2

Sept ans de réflexion
Sur le tournage - scène 11   

Date: le 15 septembre 1954, à une heure du matin.
Lieu: entre la 51 et 52st Street, au croisement de Lexington Avenue.
Scène: il s'agit d'une scène mythique, l'une des plus célèbres de l'histoire du cinéma, qui reste sans doute la "scène la plus vue au monde", celle où la robe blanche de Marilyn se soulève entraînée par l'air d'une grille de métro. La presse en parla comme de "l'exhibition la plus intéressante depuis Lady Godiva".

Date: September 15, 1954, at one o'clock.
Location: between 51 and 52st Street on the corner of Lexington Avenue.
Scene: it is a mythical scene, one of the most famous in the history of cinema, which is probably the "most scene view in the world," the one where the white dress of Marilyn Monroe rises, driven by the blow of the subway grate. The press spoke of as "the most interesting exhibition since Lady Godiva".


Marilyn Monroe, Tom Ewell, le réalisateur Billy Wilder (homme en noir, chapeau noir), Johnny Graham (homme en costume, chapeau et cigar), manager de production de la Côte Est qui organisa la logistique pour le tournage des scènes à New York, et Natasha Lytess, la coach de Marilyn.

Extraits du journal de Bruno Bernard:
- Le magazine Redbook engagea Bruno Bernard pour couvrir le tournage de Marilyn dans The Seven Year Itch.
- New York - 14/09/1954. Si cela n'avait pas été pour mon travail (la couverture de Redbook) et Marilyn, dix chevaux ne m'auraient pas traîné sur le tournage de Seven year Itch. Zut. J'ai attendu trois heures au milieu des odeurs transpiration et des cris de la foule et d'une bande de paparazzis (...). Soudain, la foule a poussé un formidable hurlement. Marilyn apparaissait en chair et en os. Lorsque Billy Wilder, le metteur en scène, a dit "On tourne", Marilyn est sortie du théâtre, a fait quatre pas sur la gauche avant de s'arrêter juste au-dessus d'une grille d'aération. A ce moment précis, on doit imaginer qu'un métro quitte la station, l'air qu'il déplace soulevant la jupe de Marilyn. Pour mieux contrôler l'action, les accessoiristes ont disposé un ventilateur directement sous la grille. Dans certaines prises, la jupe blanche de Marilyn s'est soulevée au point de lui couvrir le visage, à la grande joie des spectateurs hystériques. D'après le scénario, Marilyn doit simplement dire: "Ah, quel soulagement ! N'est-ce pas délicieux ?!" tandis qu'elle prend plaisir à sentir cet air frais. 
La scène a été refaite trente fois parce que Marilyn se trompait à chaque fois dans son texte. Sous sa robe, elle ne portait qu'une petite culotte de soie blanche transparente. (...) DiMaggio, qui se trouvait juste en face de moi et près de walter Winchell, regardait le spectacle. Je me rendais nettement compte que la gêne de DiMaggio tournait à la fureur. Je me frayais rapidement un chemin à travers la foule, dans l'espoir de le calmer. Mais, avant que je n'arrive près de lui, il avait déjà quitté les lieux très en colère. Winchell (...) m'a dit que DiMaggio était parti "apaiser son tempérament de macho italien au Toot's Shor's". Roy Croft nous rejoignit: "Nous devrions plutôt nous réjouir qu'elle porte au moins quelque chose dessous".
L'absence de DiMaggio ne la troubla pas, et la déesse de l'amour poursuivit ses interminables prises devant son public new-yorkais extasié.
- J'ai vraiment besoin de faire ces photos de Joe et Marilyn pour boucler mon article. Depuis le couloir de leur appartement du Saint Regis, je peux entendre les éclats d'une querelle passionnée suivie par des pleurs hystériques. Je suis parti et je n'ai pas fait mes photos. (...) J'étais abbatu et silencieux. Rencontrant Roy dans l'ascenceur, il tenta de me consoler: "Tout n'est pas perdu. Comme il y avait trop de bruits de fond en extérieur, Wilder a décidé de refaire toute la scène à Hollywood."

Lot 742: MARILYN MONROE VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHS
 A group of three vintage original black and white photographs of Marilyn Monroe at the Honolulu International airport in Hawaii during her honeymoon with Joe DiMaggio in 1954. The photographs were taken by a photographer who was tipped off that Monroe and DiMaggio were waiting in a secluded area of the airport. He and a friend, who was stationed in Hawaii with the Navy, went to photograph the newlyweds. The photographer gave the photographs he could not use to the friend, who kept them in his photo book of his time during the war and later sold the photographs at auction. Presumably, these photographs were never released for print. Monroe's thumb is bandaged, and some have accused DiMaggio of inflicting the injury.

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.

Publié le 05/04/2012,

pt-699640-g-637x0-2 

Profession : Actrice et chanteuse.

Pourquoi elle plaît ? Marilyn c'est Marilyn. Un mythe, une icône, l'idole des hommes, qui n'arrivaient jamais à lui résister. Sa bouche charnue et ses yeux bleu azur en ont séduit plus d'un. Ses formes généreuses et sa poitrine pulpeuse sont aujourd'hui encore objet de fantasme. Mais ce qui plaisait aussi chez Marilyn c'était son image de jeune femme avec une âme en perdition. Fragile, bouleversée, rongée par la détresse, Monroe aurait pu être sauvée par bon nombre d'hommes... Tous devenus fous face au caractère presque bipolaire de l'actrice.

Son style de proie ? Les hommes de pouvoir, les acteurs célèbres comme Paul Newman ou Marlon Brando. Mais aussi les écrivains, comme son troisième époux Arthur Miller ou les sportifs version italien : Joe Dimaggio. Marilyn Monroe aimait plaire aux hommes et voulait toujours être sensuelle, sexy et désirable à leurs yeux. Née sans connaitre son père, elle a longtemps chercher a retrouver celui-ci au travers des hommes qu'elle séduisait.

Ses conquêtes ? Beaucoup. Trop nombreuses, avec également bon nombres de rumeurs, on en a ici sélectionné 29. Et c'est déjà pas mal ! Des hommes comme Yves Montand ou Eddie Fisher en passant par des femmes, des belles. On pense surtout à Brigitte Bardot ou Joan Crawford.

Avec qui elle aurait pu roucouler ? Si le mythe Marilyn Monroe ne s'était pas terminé trop tôt, on aurait bien imaginé celle-ci flirter avec des hommes plus jeunes. Une sorte de cougar version icône glamour. L'actrice aurait dû avoir 86 ans cette année, elle aurait donc pu flirter avec un beau gosse d'une cinquantaine d'années, connu pour son image de Don Juan. George Clooney m'entends-tu ?

Jeanne Carmen / Eddie Fisher / Jim Dougherty

De 1941 à 1946, Marilyn Monroe est mariée à James Dougherty, surnommé "James le veinard" suite à son mariage avec cette dernière. Mais Marilyn ayant beaucoup souffert de l'abandon plus jeune ne supporta pas quand son époux parti s'engager dans la Marine. Elle expliqua plus tard que "son mariage n'était ni heureux ni malheureux" et cette première séparation officielle ne fut qu'une simple formalité.

Joe DiMaggio (1952-1954) / Robert Mitchum (1954) / Joan Crawford (1954)

Joe DiMaggio est le deuxième mari de Marilyn Monroe. Le couple se rencontre en 1953 et ils se marièrent en janvier 1954. Ce joueur de baseball professionnel a divorcer pour se mettre avec Marilyn... Un mariage qui finalement ne durera que 9 mois. Malgré un divorce à l'amiable, le tribunal accuse officiellement Monroe de "cruauté mentale".

Arthur Miller / Marlon Brando (1955-1962) / Yul Brynner (1957)

De 1955 à 1961 Marilyn Monroe est avec son troisième et dernier mari: Arthur Miller. Une relation tumultueuse née alors, entre amour et infidélités. Finalement, l'écrivain dit les pires horreurs au sujet de sa femme: "C'est un monstre narcissique et méchant qui a pris mon énergie et m'a vidé de mon talent".

En 1960 Marilyn Monroe flirte avec Yves Montand, pendant le tournage du film "Le Milliardaire". Simone Signoret la compagne de celui-ci déclara "Si Marilyn est amoureuse de mon mari, c'est la preuve qu'elle a bon goût.". Montand se lassa finalement des sentiments de Monroe à son égard et retourna avec Signoret.

John F Kennedy (1961-1962) / Robert F Kennedy (1962)

De 1961 à 1962, Marilyn Monroe créa le scandale en sortant avec le Président des USA : John F. Kennedy. Une relation très complexe qui selon certaines personnes est même à l'origine de la mort de l'actrice.

 Lot 143: MARILYN MONROE WORN BLACK COLOBUS COAT
A mid-1940s black colobus coat worn by Marilyn Monroe to the 1948 film premiere of The Emperor Waltz (Paramount, 1948). The coat has broad shoulders, a cordé collar, a satin lining, and a Jerrold's Van Nuys, Calif. label. Although the black colobus is currently on the endangered species list, it was quite fashionable in the 1940s. Monroe wrote in a letter to Grace Goddard dated December 3, 1944, "I found out that its [sic] possible to buy a Gold Coast Monkey Coat. I shall write to you about it later." The coat was gifted from Monroe to Jacquita M. Rigoni (Warren), who was the great-niece to Anne Karger, mother of Monroe's voice coach, Freddie Karger. Monroe had a close relationship with the family, and the coat has remained in their possession. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Jacqui Rigoni detailing the family's relationship to Monroe and the history of the coat.
The monkey species used to make this Marilyn Monroe monkey fur coat is on the Endangered Species list. U.S. Endangered Species Act regulations required by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service impose certain regulations on the sale of this coat. Please read the following carefully:
Please read the following carefully: The Marilyn Monroe monkey fur coat may be sold to a resident of California without requiring a Federal permit. A non-California resident may bid on this coat and if he or she were the winning bidder could apply for a Federal permit to remove the coat from the state of California. Julien’s has been advised that a Federal permit would likely be REFUSED by the governing offices. It is vehemently advised that non-residents of California DO NOT bid on this Marilyn Monroe owned monkey fur coat. If you bid on this lot and are unable to obtain a permit Julien’s has no liability and will be unable to refund you for your purchase.
A California resident who purchases this coat and later moves from California to another state would not be required to obtain a permit if he or she maintained ownership of the coat when changing state of residence. However, the owner would need to make sure there are no state regulations prohibiting the transfer of the coat from one state to another.
Estimate: $20,000 - $30,000 | Winning Bid: $32,000

Lot 144: MARILYN MONROE FAN FROM THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL
A vintage lace fan used by Marilyn Monroe in the film The Prince and the Showgirl (Warner Bros., 1957). The folding hand fan is used by Monroe in the ballroom scene in the film. The frame and guard are embellished with floral motif carvings embellished with pink, blue, and gold-metallic paint. The accompanying letter from the consignor explains that the fan was gifted by Monroe to William Louis George Le Brun, known as Louis Le Brun in the film industry, who was the Chief Production Accountant for Warner Bros. in the United Kingdom. When Monroe was taken ill while filming, Le Brun, who was responsible for overseeing the distribution of all finances, which involved the insurance and wellbeing of the cast and production team, stayed by her side. As a thank-you, Monroe gave him this fan, or more specifically gave the fan to his wife as an apology for keeping Le Brun from his family. At the time the fan was received several of the fan blades were broken, presumed to be from use during filming. The fan has remained in the possession of the Le Brun family since the gift was made by Monroe.

 Lot 155: MARILYN MONROE BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S SCRIPT AND REPORT
A clean copy of the screenplay for Breakfast at Tiffany's written by George Axelrod and dated July 9, 1959. Monroe was considering the part, and she sought the opinions of her professional team including the Strasbergs, her husband, and management team. The script is accompanied by a single-page, typed "report" dated September 23, 1959, which also has the name "Parone" typed to the left of the date. Literary luminary Edward Parone was at the time running Monroe's production company and most likely is the one who wrote this single-page, scathing review of the script, leading with the simple sentence, "I think not." It goes on to criticize the screenplay, determining, "I can see Marilyn playing a part like Holly and even giving this present one all the elan it badly needs, but I don't feel she should play it: it lacks insight and warmth and reality and importance." It has been long reported that Monroe declined the part upon the advice of Lee Strasberg, but this document provides further evidence that other people in her inner circle advised her not to take the role. Together with a four-page shooting schedule for November 4, 1960, for the film.

Lot 158: MARILYN MONROE MEDICAL FILE
A medical file pertaining to cosmetic surgery performed on Marilyn Monroe. The file includes facial X-rays and doctors' notes from the office of Dr. Michael Gurdin, M.D., and the X-ray office of Drs. Conti and Steinberg. Dr. Gurdin's chart on Monroe begins on July 14, 1958, and lists the patient as Marilyn Miller with addresses in New York and Los Angeles. The chief complaint listed is "chin deformity" and goes on to give a medical history that begins in 1950 and ends in 1962. Listed are a 1956 bout of neutropenia in England; 1957 ectopic pregnancy in New York; and 1950 cartilage implant in chin that the doctor observed had slowly begun to dissolve. Those with knowledge of the implant procedure have explained that this was done in association with a tip rhinoplasty, a procedure involving the tip of Monroe's nose only, not the bones. The last entry is dated June 7, 1962, and reports a fall at between 2 and 3 a.m. resulting in swelling and tenderness of the nose. Monroe was brought to Dr. Gurdin by her psychoanalyst, Dr. Ralph Greenson. Monroe was referred to Drs. Conti and Steinberg for X-rays. For her visit to the radiologists she was given the alias "Miss Joan Newman," and that name appears on the paperwork with Monroe's Brentwood home address. Six X-rays are in the folder: a frontal facial bones X-ray; a smaller X-ray that is a composite of the right and left sides of her nasal bones; and four small dental X-rays into the roof of Monroe's mouth, looking upward toward the nasal bones. The conclusion, written by Dr. Conti and dated June 7, 1962, is that there was no damage to Monroe's nose due to her fall. A more recent evaluation of the X-rays indicates a very minute hairline fracture of this bone. Monroe had turned 36 less than a week earlier. On June 8, the following day, Monroe was fired from the film Something's Got to Give (20th Century Fox, 1962).

Lot 89001: A Marilyn Monroe Unusual Inscribed 'Frame Glass' to Arthur Miller, Circa 1960.
A black and white photograph of the star circa 1956, looking wistful, housed in a black wooden frame with the glass signed by her in red wax pencil "I know when / I am not there / for you -- !!!" with her added line marks below forming what look like "X's" or "M's" or both but hard to decipher; consigned directly by the daughters of Aaron Frosch [Monroe's attorney] who said that when their father was handling MM's divorce from Arthur Miller, she gave Frosch a number of items she didn't want anymore, including this photograph which she evidently inscribed to Miller as an apology; interestingly, MM wrote this note with a colored wax pencil, the same kind she used to cross out images of herself on contact sheets that she didn't like; also intriguing to speculate about the photograph itself: it was likely a favorite of hers or Miller's and it was probably hanging somewhere in the couple's home where MM knew Miller would see her message on it. (Please note the inscription has changed to an orangish color and it's faded due to age.)

31/12/1948, Beverly Hills - Nouvel An chez Sam Spiegel

Le vendredi 31 décembre 1948, le producteur Sam Spiegel organise une fête grandiose (750 invités), tel il en avait l'habitude, dans sa maison de Beverly Hills. Pour cette fête de la Saint Sylvestre, le tout Hollywood est invité et photographié par Peter Stackpole, pour la publication d'un article dans le magazine américain Life.
Marilyn Monroe, encore considérée comme une jeune starlette (le dernier film qu'elle ait tourné, Les reines du Music-Hall, venait de sortir sur les écrans en octobre 1948) fait partie des invités.
Elle est vêtue de la robe qu'elle porte dans le film La pêche au trésor (et qu'elle portera à d'autres reprises pour des séances photos ou sur scène au théâtre); bien que la robe a un effet lamé, son style reste naturel: peu de maquillage et aucun bijoux.

On Friday, December 31, 1948, producer Sam Spiegel throws an awesome party (750 guests), just like he used to do, in his Beverly Hills home. For this New Year's Eve party, all of Hollywood who's who is invited and photographed by Peter Stackpole, for the publication of an article in the American magazine Life.
Marilyn Monroe, still considered as a young starlet (her last film shot, Ladies of the Chorus, has just been released on screens in October 1948) is one of the guests.
She's wearing the dress she wore in the film Love Happy (and that she will wear on other occasions for photoshoots or on stage in the theater); although the dress has a lame effect, its style remains natural: little make-up and no jewelry.

Marilyn est accompagnée de son grand amour Fred Karger, son professeur de diction et de chant, et à qui elle venait d'offrir pour Noël une montre gravée au dos de la date (25/12/48) qu'elle payera à crédit 500 Dollars pendant deux ans.

Marilyn is accompanied by her great love Fred Karger, her diction and singing teacher, to whom she has just offered for Christmas a watch engraved on the back of the date (12/25/48) that she will pay on credit 500 Dollars for two years.

Les photographies montrant Marilyn sont restées inédites jusqu'à leur publication en ligne par le service des archives du magazine Life en janvier 2020 (près de 200 photos de cette soirée prises par Stackpole dévoilées). Et parmi les nombreux convives, se trouve aussi Johnny Hyde, qui deviendra l'imprésario de Marilyn dès l'année 1949; nombre de fans avancent le fait que Hyde aurait ainsi rencontré Marilyn à cette soirée, mais rien n'est sûr. Sans doute se sont-ils croisés, mais personne ne peut affirmer qu'ils ont conversé ensemble. Le photographe Bruno Bernard racontera avoir été le témoin de leur rencontre, lors d'une séance photo avec Marilyn en 1949 au Racquet Club de Palm Springs.

The photographs showing Marilyn remained unpublished until their online publication by the archives service of Life magazine in January 2020 (nearly 200 photos of this evening taken by Stackpole unveiled). And among the many guests, is also Johnny Hyde, who will become Marilyn's impresario in 1949; a number of fans advance the fact that Hyde would have thus met Marilyn at this evening, but nothing is certain. No doubt they cross paths, but no one can say that they converse together. Photographer Bruno Bernard will tell of having witnessed their meeting, during a photo shoot with Marilyn in 1949 at the Racquet Club in Palm Springs.


A cette soirée, Marilyn côtoie certaines personnalités qu'elle retrouvera plus tard dans sa carrière: les journalistes commères d'Hollywood Hedda Hopper et Louella O Parsons, le créateur costumier Jean-Louis, les acteurs Danny Kaye, Edward G Robinson, James Mason, Lucille Ball et Judy Garland (que Marilyn recroisera à des soirées), l'acteur George Sanders (à qui elle donnera la réplique dans Eve), les réalisateurs qui la dirigeront: John Huston, Otto Preminger, Henry Hathaway et Jean Negulesco; mais aussi Frank Sinatra (qui deviendra un de ses amis) et Ava Gardner (avec qui Marilyn écumait les soirées Hollywoodiennes).

At this evening, Marilyn rubs shoulders with certain personalities that she will meet again later in her career: the gossipy Hollywood journalists Hedda Hopper and Louella O Parsons, the costume designer Jean-Louis, the actors Danny Kaye, Edward G Robinson, James Mason, Lucille Ball and Judy Garland (whom Marilyn will meet again at parties), the actor George Sanders (who will be his partner in All About Eve), the directors who will direct her: John Huston, Otto Preminger, Henry Hathaway and Jean Negulesco; but also Frank Sinatra (who will become one of her friends) and Ava Gardner (with whom Marilyn skimmed the Hollywood evenings).

Lot 437: MARILYN MONROE: RECEIVED GET-WELL CARD FROM HER FATHER STANLEY C. GIFFORD
From the Personal Files of Marilyn Monroe: A get-well greeting card from Marilyn Monroe's father, Stanley C. Gifford, no transmittal envelope. This undated card is addressed to Monroe in Gifford's hand. Gifford has misspelled her name as "Marylyn." The card reads, "This cheery little get-well note comes specially to say that lots of thoughts and wishes, too, are with you every day," with the words "a little prayer too," having been added by Gifford. The card is then signed in Giffords hand, "Stanley Gifford, Red Rock Dairy Farm, Hemet, Calif.
In the book, My Sister Marilyn, A Memoir of Marilyn Monroe by Berniece Baker Miracle (Marilyn's half-sister) and Mona Rae Miracle (Berniece's daughter), Berniece writes on page 176 that Monroe confided to her that Gifford had visited her when she was in the hospital on an undisclosed date. Berniece recalls Monroe telling her that "The first time I saw my father, I was lying flat on my back in the hospital. I looked at him and I studied his face and features, and I saw that mother had told me the truth, that he was my father." Considering the fact that this is a get-well card, coupled with the fact Monroe stated to her half-sister Berniece that she first met her father when she was hospitalized, Gifford himself clearly hand delivered this card to Monroe when he visited her during one of her hospital stays. Given the fact that they ostensibly had no relationship prior to this one and only known meeting, it is highly unlikely that Gifford traveled across the country from his home in Hemet, CA to visit Monroe during one of her NYC hospital stays. Based upon all available information, the visit most likely occurred during one of her many hospitalizations in Los Angeles.
It has been widely reported that Monroe unsuccessfully attempted to contact her father by telephone many times over the years. Monroe persisted visiting the town of Hemet, California in an attempt to locate him which is confirmed by numerous locals reporting Marilyn Monroe Spottings in Hemet. It is believed that Gifford did not want to upset his wife and children by allowing Monroe to be part of his life.
This card is the only known material artifact that establishes any connection or communication between Gifford and his famous daughter. Monroe's mother Gladys dated Gifford in 1925, he was at the time her supervisor at RKO pictures. While working for him as a film negative cutter, Gladys became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter on June 1, 1926. Norma Jeane was Gladys third child. Although Gladys registered the surname Mortenson on Norma Jeane's birth certificate, using the name of her ex-husband instead of Gifford, it has been assumed for decades that Gifford was actually Marilyn Monroe's father.
Gifford was finally definitively proven to be Monroe's father through DNA testing in 2022. Although this card includes no warm salutation from the man that was indeed her father, it further complicates our understanding of the relationship, or what was believed to be the complete absence of a relationship with arguably the most important male figure in Monroe's life. Previous scholarship recounts Monroe's attempts to contact her father resulting in only bitter rejection and a broken heart, yet this card supports Berniece Miracles first-hand account and it is proof that he reached out to her in a time of need.

Lot 121:  BETTE DAVIS: "ALL ABOUT EVE" ORIGINAL EDITH HEAD "MARGO CHANNING" BUMPY NIGHT GOWN COSTUME SKETCH (WITH DVD)
An original gouache and ink on paper costume sketch from the production of Joseph L. Mankiewicz's classic film All About Eve (20th Century Fox, 1950) by Edith Head.

Davis appears on-screen with Marilyn Monroe, in a breakthrough performance, wearing the gown. Head won the Oscar for Best Costume Design, Black-and-White for this Oscar winning Best Picture; Davis was nominated for Best Actress. The sketch is faintly penciled "for Bette Davis" to the right side, and initialed, possibly by Mankiewicz, near the right bottom hem.

Lot 258: MARILYN MONROE: MEDICAL FILE
A medical file pertaining to cosmetic surgery performed on Marilyn Monroe. The file includes facial X-rays and doctors' notes from the office of Dr. Michael Gurdin, M.D., and the X-ray office of Drs. Conti and Steinberg. Dr. Gurdin's chart on Monroe begins on July 14, 1958, and lists the patient as Marilyn Miller with addresses in New York and Los Angeles.
The chief complaint listed is "chin deformity" and goes on to give a medical history that begins in 1950 and ends in 1962. Listed are a 1956 bout of neutropenia in England; 1957 ectopic pregnancy in New York; and 1950 cartilage implant in chin that the doctor observed had slowly begun to dissolve. Those with knowledge of the implant procedure have explained that this was done in association with a tip rhinoplasty, a procedure involving the tip of Monroe's nose only, not the bones.
The last entry is dated June 7, 1962, and reports a fall at between 2 and 3 a.m. resulting in swelling and tenderness of the nose. Monroe was brought to Dr. Gurdin by her psychoanalyst, Dr. Ralph Greenson. Monroe was referred to Drs. Conti and Steinberg for X-rays. For her visit to the radiologists she was given the alias "Miss Joan Newman," and that name appears on the paperwork with Monroe's Brentwood home address.
Six X-rays are in the folder: a frontal facial bones X-ray; a smaller X-ray that is a composite of the right and left sides of her nasal bones; and four small dental X-rays into the roof of Monroe's mouth, looking upward toward the nasal bones. The conclusion, written by Dr. Conti and dated June 7, 1962, is that there was no damage to Monroe's nose due to her fall. A more recent evaluation of the X-rays indicates a very minute hairline fracture of this bone. Monroe had turned 36 less than a week earlier. On June 8, the following day, Monroe was fired from the film Something's Got to Give (20th Century Fox, 1962). 9 x 12 inches

Lot 259: MARILYN MONROE: RECEIVED AND SENT LETTERS

Two letters with dates in 1952 and 1953 are from an aspiring songwriter and singer by the name of Mrs. John H. Spurgeon. Another letter is from Harold Mirisch dated May 7, 1959. Another letter on letterhead from The First Baptist Church dated December 4, 1958 is from a man named Bill Lennon, requesting Marilyn's permission to write to the TV show "What's My Line?" and list his occupation as secretary to Marilyn Monroe. Included is a very direct letter to Lennon in response, reading in part, "Miss Monroe would not under any circumstances permit the use of her name in any misrepresentation." Also included, a carbon-copy of a letter addressed to "John" dated February 1, 1960 (likely designer John Moore) asking if he'd been advised by the Railway Express Company about a message left at the Beverly Hills Hotel for Marilyn that read, "The dress you expected from Talmack was destroyed in a plane fire." Handwritten annotations on the letter list a "Mr. Clemens, Head of Air Department," and a phone number for the claims department, not in Monroe's handwriting. Overall a very interesting look at the types of issues Monroe dealt with on a daily basis.

I could never seem to get you to say much to me, but I loved having you come in and I missed your doing so after you'd gone away. I wondered about you many times and was delighted when I discovered you in the films. I hope the stories in the magazines which say you felt yourself unloved throughout your childhood, are merely press-agentry. In any case, I want you to know that I, for one, was truly fond of you and I'm proud of you for having developed enough grit to struggle through to success." The letter also states, "I hope you are getting much happiness out of life, little Marian [sic]. I saw so much that was ethereal in you when you were a little girl that I fell sure you are not blind to life's spiritual side. May all that is good and best come your way!? The letter is signed "Sincerely, Ruth Edens." 9 x 11 inches

Lot 288: MARILYN MONROE: ARTHUR MILLER HANDWRITTEN BOOK DEDICATION
A single piece of lined paper torn from a spiral-bound notebook, heavily stained, containing a notation in Miller's hand reading "This book is being written out of the courage, the widened view of life, the awareness of love and beauty, given to me by my love, my wife-to-be, my Marilyn. I bless her for this gift, and I write it so that she may have from me the only unique thing I know how to make. I bless her, I owe her the discovery of my soul."
Although the note is undated, Miller refers to Marilyn Monroe as his wife to be, indicating that it was written prior to their marriage on June 29, 1956. Although this dedication did not appear in any of Miller's books it was possibly intended to be used in A View from the Bridge, which Miller was rewriting as a two-act play during his courtship with Monroe. Because Miller was not officially divorced until June 1956, it is possible that the dedication was not used due to timing. 8.5 x 11 inches

Lot 434: MARILYN MONROE: PERSONALLY ANNOTATED "SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE" SCREENPLAY AND PAGES
A Something's Got To Give (20th Century Fox, 1962) mimeographed screenplay by Nunnally Johnson, 149 pages, blue cover dated March 29, 1962 reading "Final Confidential For Planning Purposes Only." The script, marked final, also dated March 29, 1962, contains notations in Monroe's hand throughout in pencil and green ink on 18 pages. Some of the notations are from Monroe's work with a Swedish dialect coach.
In addition to these notations, two typed pages of Monroe's dialogue are bound between pages 107 and 108 of the mimeographed script. These two pages contain Monroe's dialogue from one of the few scenes captured on film, with her extensive pencil notations. Raw footage of Monroe performing with Tippy the cocker spaniel and the children in this scene exists, and Monroe's notations are evident in the footage. The top of the page reads "Real Thought/ Mental Relaxation/ substitute children - B & J if necessary/ feeling - place the pain where it is not in the brow." B & J likely refers to Arthur Miller's children Bobby and Jane. Another notation next to one of Monroe's lines of dialogue reads simply "Mona Lisa," which does in fact mirror the expression she uses when delivering this line. Even the exaggerated "Ahhhhh---" that Monroe does at the beginning of each take in the raw footage is written on the page in her hand, reading in full, "Ahhh--Look for the light.?
The notations throughout the script also include notes in an unidentified hand criticizing certain points of the story, including "Too Harsh," "Naggy," "Dull" and many other comments. Overall, the notations in both the script and on the dialogue pages used by Monroe to film the scene with the children and Tippy the dog tell the story of a tedious script writing and editing process. Her dialogue notations are a revealing window into her process in performing some of the last scenes she ever recorded on film. 9.5 x 12 x 1 inches

Lot 451: MARILYN MONROE: DOG-RELATED POSTHUMOUS CORRESPONDENCE
An undated typed letter from Mrs. Edward Herdan of Los Angeles that reads:
"To whom it may concern: I was greatly taken aback when I saw the pet of Marilyn's in a picture with her. We were forced to put our pet to sleep on account of old age recently and she was a double of this little dog. We have been looking with grieving hearts for several months now, to find one that resembled our Shaggsy, but all in vain. If it were at all possible to get the dog we could give it an excellent home. Dr. Christenson of the Hollywood Cat and Dog Hospital was our Vet for fourteen years. Hope this request receives some consideration. Sincerely, Mrs. Ed Herdan."
Included is a copy of a letter from Inez Melson, Monroe's former business manager, dated September 4, 1962, reading:
"Dear Mrs. Herdan, I hope you will understand that I have not answered your kind letter about "Moff" before this because of the pressure of matters involving the affairs of Marilyn. I know how you must feel about your little "Shaggsy" and it would be wonderful if it were possible to send "Moff" to live with you. However, you will understand that her sister's dearest wish is to have him and I hope in due time to be able to send him to live with her. Unfortunately, in due process of law, even little "Moff" is a part of Marilyn's personal effects and thus, he has to wait. It grieves me greatly to refuse so many kind people and I only wish that I could grant the desire of each good person who would love "Moff" as his mistress loved him." The letter is signed, "Sincerely yours, Inez Melson, Administratrix of the Estate of Marilyn Monroe."
Frank Sinatra gifted the dog to Monroe in 1961. She named him Maf as a comic reference to Sinatra's mafia connections. Interestingly, people within Monroe's inner circle appear to be unaware of the correct spelling of the dog's name. Written correspondence reflects use of the names "Maff" and "Moff."

The Marilyn Monroe's Christmas


 * Noël 1939 avec Grace: La Musique *
Norma Jeane, âgée de 13 ans, vit chez Ana Lower, la tante de Grace McKee Goddard. En cadeau de Noël, Grace offre à Norma Jeane un tourne-disque portatif Victrola, sur lequel elle écoute les disques de Glenn Miller.

 * Christmas 1939 with Grace: The Music *
Norma Jeane, aged 13, lives with Ana Lower, Grace McKee Goddard's aunt. For Christmas present, Grace gives Norma Jeane a windup portable Victrola, on which she listens to Glenn Miller records.


 * Noël 1941 avec Jim: Rencontre du Futur Mari *
Grace Goddard demande à Ethel Dougherty si son fils de 20 ans Jim Dougherty pourrait escorter Norma Jeane, âgée de 15 ans, au bal de Noël organisé chez Adel Precision Products, où Doc Goddard (le mari de Grace) travaille. Jim accepte. Norma Jeane passe donc la soirée de la fête de Noël à danser des slows avec Jim Dougherty, s'appuyant tendrement contre lui; tel se souviendra Jim: elle s'appuyait "très près, les yeux bien fermés, et même Grace et Doc ont vu que je n'étais pas seulement le bon voisin Sam, pour ainsi dire. Je passais un moment inoubliable avec cette petite fille, qui ne semblait plus si petite." Il s'agit de la première sortie officielle de Norma Jeane avec un homme, qui deviendra son époux 6 mois plus tard.

 * Christmas 1941 with Jim: Encounter a Future Husband *
Grace Goddard asks Ethel Dougherty if her 20 years old son Jim could escort Norma Jeane, aged 15, to the Christmas ball at Adel Precision Products, where Doc Goddard (Grace's husband) works. Jim accepts. Norma Jeane therefore spends the evening of the Christmas party slow dancing with Jim Dougherty, leaning against him tenderly; as Jim will remember: she was leaning "extra close, eyes tight shut, and even Grace and Doc saw that I wasn’t just being Good Neighbor Sam, so to speak. I was having the time of my life with this little girl, who didn’t seem or feel so little any more.This is Norma Jeane's first official outing with a man, who will become her husband 6 months later.


 * Noël 1943 au bal avec Jim: Une Danse Nostalgique *
Norma Jeane vit sur l'île de Santa Catalina avec son mari Jim Dougherty, suite à son affectation dans la Marine marchande. Pour le Noël 1943, le service maritime a organisé un grand bal dansant avec le célèbre
orchestre Stan Kenton, dans le grand casino de l'île, à Avalon.
A cette soirée, Norma Jeane ne boit pas d'alcool, mais des boissons au gingembre. Le gala dure près de 7 heures et on raconte que Jim n'a dansé qu'une seule fois avec sa femme. Il est resté à l'écart une bonne partie de la soirée, à écouter et observer. Quand à Norma Jeane, elle racontera cette fête de Noël dans une lettre adressée à sa soeur Berniece, qui lui a envoyé une photo d'elle et son mari Paris Miracle, que Norma Jeane a justement reçu pour Noël - extrait de la lettre datée du 02 février 1944:
"Chère Berniece,
Je te remercie beaucoup pour la photo que tu m'as envoyé de toi avec Paris que j'ai reçu à la période de Noël.
(...)
Je ne sais pas si tu as déjà entendu parler de Catalina Island, situé à l'est, c'était (en temps de paix) une très belle station balnéaire pour les vacances d'été et c'est situé à près de 30 miles de Los Angeles.
Ma mère m'y avait emmené pour l'été quand j'avais à peu près sept ans. Je me souviens avoir été au Casino et d'avoir été au dancing avec elle. Bien sûr je n'avais pas dansé, mais elle m'avait laissé m'assoir dans un coin pour la regarder et je me souviens que c'était peu de temps après l'heure d'aller dormir.
Bref, tout ça pour dire que pour la période de Noël, le service maritime a organisé un dancing dans le même casino et moi et Jimmy, nous y sommes allés. Ce fut l'un des plus amusant sentiment que de dancer sur le même sol plus de dix ans après, je veux dire que d'être assez âgée et tout ça, c'est difficile de t'expliquer le sentiment que j'ai ressenti.
"

 * Christmas 1943 at the Ball with Jim: A Nostalgic Dance *
Norma Jeane lives on Santa Catalina Island with her husband Jim Dougherty, following his tour of duty in the Merchant Marines.
For Christmas 1943, the maritime service organized a grand dance ball with the famous Stan Kenton Orchestra, in the island's large casino, in Avalon. At this party, Norma Jeane doesn't drink alcohol, but ginger drinks. The gala lasted almost 7 hours and it was said that Jim only danced once with his wife. He stayed aside for a good part of the evening, listening and observing. As for Norma Jeane, she will tell about this Christmas party in a letter addressed to her sister Berniece, who sent her a photo of her and her husband Paris Miracle, which Norma Jeane just received for Christmas - extract from letter dated 02 February 1944:
"Dear Berniece,
I want to thank you so much for the picture of you and Paris that I received at Christmas time.
(...)
I don't know if you have ever heard of Catalina Island, being from the East, but it was (in peace time) a very beautiful summer resort its and island out have all by itself, about 30 miles from L.A. Harbor.
My mother brought me over for the summer when I was about seven yr old. I remember going to the Casino to a dance with her, of course I didn't dance, but she let me sit on the side and watch her, and I remember it was way after my bedtime too.
But anyway, what I'm getting at is that at Christmas time, the Maritimes service held a big dance at the same Casino and Jimmie and I went. It was the funniest feeling to be dancing on that same floor ten yrs later, I mean being old enough and everything. Oh it hard to explain to you the feeling I had."


 * Noël 1944 avec les Dougherty: En Famille et entre Amis *
Jim Dougherty, parti en mission dans le Pacifique au sein de la Marine marchande, obtient une permission pour rentrer chez lui pour passer les fêtes de fin d'année avec sa femme Norma Jeane. Depuis que Jim est parti, Norma Jeane est allée vivre chez sa belle-mère Ethel Dougherty (au 5254 Hermitage Street -maintenant Avenue- à North Hollywood). Le couple a donc sans doute passé Noël avec la famille Dougherty. Ils ont aussi dîné au restaurant Hawaïen Clifton Pacific South Seas avec un ami.
Jusqu'au dernier moment, Norma Jeane n'était pas sûre que son mari puisse rentrer, tel qu'elle l'écrit dans une lettre adressée à Grace Goddard datée du 03 décembre 1944:
"Jimmy n'est pas encore rentré à la maison, il devrait peut être revenir avant Noël, mais il n'est pas encore sûr. J'éspère vraiment qu'il rentrera, tout me semble ne pas aller bien sans lui. Je l'aime tellement, hônnetement je ne pense pas qu'il existe un autre homme comme lui. Il est vraiment terriblement adorable."

 * Christmas 1944 with the Doughertys: with Family and Friends *
Jim Dougherty, on a mission in the Pacific with the Merchant Navy, obtains a permission to back home to spend the end of year holidays with his wife Norma Jeane. Since Jim left, Norma Jeane went to live with her mother-in-law Ethel Doughertys (at 5254 Hermitage Street (now Avenue) in North Hollywood). The couple therefore undoubtedly spent Christmas with the Dougherty familyThey also dined at the Clifton Pacific South Seas Hawaiian restaurant with a friend.
Until the last moment, Norma Jeane was not sure that her husband would be able to come back, as she wrote in a letter addressed to Grace Goddard dated December 3, 1944:
"Jimmie hasn't come home yet, maybe he might make it before Christmas but he doesn't think so. I certainly hope he'll be home, it just won't seem right without him. I love him so very much, honestly. I don't think there is another man like him. He really is awfully sweet."


 * Noël 1945 avec De Dienes: Changement de Vie et Nouvel Amant *
La cohabitation avec sa belle-mère Ethel Dougherty ne se passant pas très bien (Ethel critique et désapprouve la vie que mène sa belle-fille Norma Jeane, qui entame tout juste une petite carrière de mannequin), Norma Jeane retourne vivre chez "Tante" Ana Lower, sur Nebraska Avenue à Sawtelle, un quartier de Los Angeles. Jim Dougherty obtient, comme l'année précédente, une permission pour rentrer à Los Angeles passer les fêtes de fin d'année avec sa famille. Mais les retrouvailles avec sa femme seront distantes et courtes; il racontera plus tard: "Elle avait une heure de retard. Elle m'a pris dans ses bras et m'a embrassé, mais c'était un peu froid. J'avais deux semaines de congé avant de reprendre mes fonctions à bord le long de la côte californienne, mais je ne pense pas que nous ayons passé deux nuits ensemble pendant cette période. Elle était occupée à faire du mannequinat et gagnait beaucoup d'argent. C'était la première fois que j'avais une idée de son ambition."
Dès son arrivée, Norma Jeane s'empresse de montrer ses photos de mannequin à son mari, qui, en retour, en porte une totale indifférence; il racontera: "Pour moi, elle se transformait en un autre être humain. Elle m'a montré les photos, ses nouvelles robes et chaussures, comme si ce genre de choses m'intéressait. Elle était fière de ses couvertures de magazine et de sa nouvelle popularité chez Blue Book, et elle s'attendait à ce que je le sois aussi. Elle voulait une carrière. En d’autres termes, elle n’était plus la naufragée dépendante ; elle était maintenant une jeune femme ambitieuse, ce qui était inacceptable pour le marin robuste et machiste que j'étais".
Au grand désarroi de ses proches (Ana Lower, Ethel Dougherty et son mari Jim), Norma Jeane part dès le lendemain de l'arrivée de son mari pour aller en périple de poses photographiques avec un photographe, André De Dienes, âgé de 32 ans, qui la paye 200 Dollars, une coquette somme pour l'époque. De Dienes la photographie sur la plage de Zuma, dans le désert de Mojave, et plus au Nord à Yosemite, puis vers le Nevada, dans l'Oregon (au Mount Hood) et Washington. Ils s'arrêtent pour la nuit dans des motels, où malgré la drague persistante de De Dienes, Norma Jeane parvient à dormir dans des chambres séparées.
Norma Jeane apprend par un coup de fil passé à Grace que sa mère Gladys est sortie de l'hôpital depuis plus d'un an et qu'elle vit désormais à Portland, dans l'Oregon. Norma Jeane demande à De Dienes de passer la voir et elle lui rend visite, les bras chargés de cadeaux. Mais Gladys est totalement associale, devenue anorexique et impassible, elle vit dans un hôtel miteux. Norma Jeane est dévastée et André De Dienes la consolera la nuit où ils se sont arrêtés dans une auberge de campagne, prenant cette fois-ci, une chambre commune. Une nouvelle idylle débute ainsi pour Norma Jeane pendant ces fêtes de fin d'année tandis que les retrouvailles avec sa mère sont catastrophiques.

 * Christmas 1945 with De Dienes: Lifestyle Change and a New Lover *
Cohabitation with her mother-in-law Ethel Dougherty is not going very well (Ethel criticizes and disapproves of the life led by her daughter-in-law Norma Jeane, who is just starting a small career as a model), Norma Jeane returns to live with "Aunt"
Ana Lower, on Nebraska Avenue in Sawtelle, a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Jim Dougherty obtains, like the previous year, permission to come back to Los Angeles to spend the end of year holidays with his family. But the reunion with his wife will be distant and short; he would later say:
"So far as I was concerned, she was turning into another human being. She showed me the pictures, her new dresses and shoes—as if I cared about such things. She was proud of her magazine covers and her new popularity at Blue Book, and she expected me to be, too. She wanted a career.” She was, in other words, no longer the dependent castaway; she was now a young woman with ambition, and this was unacceptable to the sturdy, macho marine."
As soon as she arrives, Norma Jeane rushes to show her modeling photos to her husband, who, in return, shows total indifference; he will tell: "She was an hour late. She embraced me and kissed me, but it was a little cool. I had two weeks off before resuming shipboard duties along the California coast, but I don’t think we had two nights together during that time. She was busy modeling, earning good money. It was my first inkling of her ambition."
To the great dismay of those close to her (Ana Lower, Ethel Dougherty and her husband Jim), Norma Jeane leaves the day after her husband's arrival to go on a journey of photographic poses with a photographer, André De Dienes, aged 32, who paid her 200 Dollars, a tidy sum for the time. De Dienes photographies her on Zuma Beach, in the Mojave Desert, and further North to Yosemite, then towards Nevada, Oregon (at Mount Hood) and Washington. They stop for the night at motels, where despite De Dienes' persistent flirting, Norma Jeane manages to sleep in separate rooms.
Norma Jeane learns through a phone call to Grace that her mother Gladys has been out of the hospital for over a year and is now living in Portland, Oregon. Norma Jeane asks De Dienes to come see her and she visits her, her arms full of gifts. But Gladys is totally associative, has become anorexic and impassive, she lives in a shabby hotel. Norma Jeane is devastated and André De Dienes consoles her the night they stop at a country inn, taking this time, a shared room. A new romance thus begins for Norma Jeane during these end-of-year holidays while the reunion with her mother is catastrophic.


 * Noël 1946 au travail: en Starlette de Pub *
Le 25 juillet 1946, Norma Jeane Dougherty signe un contrat de six mois avec les studios de la 20th Century Fox, qui la rebaptise d'un nouveau nom "Marilyn Monroe" le 03 décembre. Les studios vont beaucoup plus utiliser Marilyn comme produit publicitaire que comme actrice. Pendant le mois de décembre 1946, Marilyn est envoyée par la Fox pour participer au Noël des enfants et de leur distribuer des cadeaux avec un père-noël, un événement sponsorisé par les voitures Darrin Kaiser Frazer.

 On July 25, 1946, Norma Jeane Dougherty signed a six-month contract with 20th Century Fox studios, which renamed her a new name "Marilyn Monroe" on December 3.

* Noël 1947 chez les Carroll: Changement de Domicile et de Nouveaux Amis *
En décembre 1947, Marilyn emménage dans une maison située au 4215 Rowland Avenue (aujourd'hui renommée Warner Boulevard) à Burbank, en Californie. Mais se sentant isolée, elle passe tous ses week-end du mois de décembre 1947 (et début d'année 1948) dans le ranch du couple Carroll à Granada Hills, dans la vallée de San Fernando. Le couple Carroll (John Carroll et sa femme Lucille Ryman) s'occupe de la carrière de Marilyn; elle a même signé un contrat avec John Carroll comme manager de sa carrière le 04 décembre. Marilyn se montrera de plus en plus intrusive dans la vie du couple, les appelant plusieurs fois par jour au téléphone.

But feeling isolated, she spent every weekend in December 1947 (and early 1948) at the Carroll couple's ranch in Granada Hills, in the San Fernando Valley. The Carroll couple (John Carroll and his wife Lucille Ryman) take care of Marilyn's career; she even signed a contract with John Carroll as her career manager on December 4. Marilyn will appear more and more intrusive in the couple's life, calling them several times a day on the phone.


 * Noël 1948 chez les Karger: Désillusion en Amour mais des Amies pour la vie *
Grâce aux 800 Dollars perçus pour la scène qu'elle tourne dans le film des Marx Brothers "La pêche au trésor" tourné en novembre 1948 et la participation à la publicité autour de ce film, Marilyn va tout dépenser en cadeaux de Noël: pour le couple Carroll (en remerciement de leur aide), et à la famille Karger, dont elle est tombée éperdument amoureuse de Fred Karger, son coach vocal sur le tournage du film "Les Reines du Music-Hall" en mai 1948. Elle offre à Fred Karger une montre en or qu'elle achète 500 $ à crédit et dont elle mettra 2 ans à rembourser, sur laquelle elle a fait graver au dos la date du "25/12/48". Bien que Fred Karger l'accueillera dans sa famille (il vivait entouré de femmes: avec sa fille Terry, née d'un premier mariage, sa mère Anne Karger - surnommée "Nana"- et sa soeur Mary Karger - ces femmes Karger resteront des amies proches de Marilyn toute sa vie), il refuse de l'épouser et traitera Marilyn avec mépris. C'est d'ailleurs en cette fin d'année qu'elle prend pleinement conscience qu'elle n'est pas heureuse avec lui et que son amour n'est pas réciproque.

 * Christmas 1948 at Karger's: Disillusionment in Love but Friends for Life * 
Thanks to the 800 Dollars received for the scene she shot in the Marx Brothers film "Love Happy" filmed in November 1948 and participation in publicity around this film, Marilyn will spend it all on Christmas gifts: for the Carroll couple (in gratitude for their help), and to the Karger family, with whom she fell madly in love with Fred Karger, her vocal coach on the set of the film "Ladies of the Chorus" in May 1948. She offers Fred Karger a gold watch that she bought for $500 on credit and which will take 2 years to pay entirely, on which she has the date "12/25/48" engraved on the back. Although Fred Karger welcomed her into his family (he lived surrounded by women: with his daughter Terry, born from a first marriage, his mother Anne Karger - nicknamed "Nana" - and his sister Mary Karger - these Karger women will remain friends close to Marilyn all her life), he refuses to marry her and will treat Marilyn with contempt. It is also at the end of the year that she becomes fully aware that she is not happy with him and that her love is not reciprocated.


 * Noël 1950: Deuil et Dépression *
Depuis 1949, Marilyn est encouragée par son mentor, amant et manager, Johnny Hyde, qui s'occupe d'elle quasiment à plein temps. Il a tout plaqué pour elle (quittant sa femme) et souhaite épouser Marilyn, qui refuse.  Le 16 décembre 1950, il reste dans sa villa de Palm Springs pour se reposer (il a eu plusieurs alertes cardiaques) et il demande à Marilyn de s'occuper des achats de cadeaux de Noël. Il lui donne de l'argent et Marilyn se rend à Tijuana avec Natasha Lytess, sa coach d'art dramatique et amie, pour finir son shopping. Marilyn dépense une grande partie de l'argent pour faire un cadeau à Natasha, une broche camée en ivoire encadrée d'or, après avoir vu Natasha admirer le bijou. C'est pendant leur absence que Johnny va faire une crise cardiaque et décède à l'hôpital du Cedars Lebanon de Los Angeles le 18 décembre. Marilyn en sera dévastée, d'autant qu'elle est exclue de la cérémonie d'enterrement par la veuve de Hyde. Elle assistera tout de même aux obsèques avec Natasha, à l'écart et incognito. Elle est aussi chassée de la maison de North Palm Drive par la famille Hyde qui reprend les vêtements et bijoux que Johnny lui avait offerts; et bien qu'il avait informé ses avocats de son désir de laisser un tiers de ses biens à Marilyn, il n’avait pas encore modifié son testament et Marilyn ne reçoit rien. Avec le décès de Johnny Hyde, Marilyn perd un allié, un ami et un père. Pendant des semaines, Natasha Lytess voit Marilyn fondre sans cesse en larmes. Le dimanche 24 décembre 1950, elle reçoit une étole en vison, ultime cadeau que Johnny Hyde lui avait fait livrer pour Noël. Un matin, Natasha Lytess arrive à l’appartement de Marilyn (qui vivait sur Harper Boulevard) et trouve un mot sur la porte : « Je laisse ma voiture et mon étole de vison à Natasha », et un autre mot dans l’appartement qui demandait à Barbara, la fille de Natasha, de ne pas entrer dans la chambre. Natasha découvre Marilyn dans son lit inconsciente, un flacon de pilules de chez la pharmacie Schwab à son chevet. Elle est transportée à l’hôpital où elle subit un lavage d’estomac.

 * Christmas 1950: Grief and Depression *
Since 1949, Marilyn has been encouraged by her mentor, lover and manager, Johnny Hyde, who takes care of her almost full time. He gave up everything for her (leaving his wife) and wants to marry Marilyn, who refuses. On December 16, 1950, he stayed at his villa in Palm Springs to rest (he had several heart attacks) and he asked Marilyn to take care of the Christmas gift shopping. He gives her money and Marilyn goes to Tijuana with Natasha Lytess, her drama coach and friend, to finish her shopping. Marilyn spends much of the money to give Natasha a gift, an ivory cameo brooch framed in gold, after seeing Natasha admiring the jewelry. It was during their absence that Johnny suffered a heart attack and died at Cedars Lebanon Hospital in Los Angeles on December 18. Marilyn will be devastated, especially since she is excluded from the burial ceremony by Hyde's widow. She will still attend the funeral with Natasha, apart and incognito. She is also chased out of the house on North Palm Drive by the Hyde family who take back the clothes and jewelry that Johnny had given her; and although he had informed his lawyers of his desire to leave a third of his assets to Marilyn, he had not yet changed his will and Marilyn received nothing. With the death of Johnny Hyde, Marilyn loses an ally, a friend and a father. For weeks, Natasha Lytess saw Marilyn constantly burst into tears. On Sunday December 24, 1950, she received a mink stole, the final gift that Johnny Hyde had delivered to her for Christmas. One morning, Natasha Lytess arrives at the apartment of Marilyn (who lived on Harper Boulevard) and finds a note on the door: "I am leaving my car and my mink stole with Natasha", and another note in the apartment which asked Barbara, Natasha's daughter, not to enter the room. Natasha discovers Marilyn in her bed unconscious, a bottle of pills from the Schwab pharmacy at her bedside. She was taken to hospital where she underwent gastric lavage.


* Noël 1951: Pin-Up pour les GI's *
En décembre 1951, Marilyn Monroe est élue "Le plus beau cadeau de noël que tous les soldats aimeraient trouver au pied du sapin".

 * Noël 1952 avec Joe: En tête-à-tête romantique *
Le 24 décembre 1952, Marilyn Monroe est sur le tournage des "Hommes préfèrent les blondes". A la fin de la journée, une réception est donnée
au studio de la Fox. Puis elle rentre seule dans sa suite louée au Beverly Hills Hotel. En ouvrant la porte, elle découvre Joe DiMaggio, qui lui a fait la surprise d'avoir décoré l'endroit. Alors qu'il devait passer les fêtes en famille, il a choisi de passer cette soirée de réveillon avec Marilyn qui se retrouvait seule. Il a fait installer un sapin décoré, sur lequel il était en train de placer le dernier ornement (une étoile en argent) au sommet quand Marilyn est entrée. Il a commandé un repas, du champagne dans un seau à glace en argent et des bûches qui flambent dans la cheminée. Ce restera pour Marilyn, tel qu'elle le confiera à ses amis plus tard, son meilleur Noël de tous les temps.
Le magazine américain Leatherneck de décembre 1952 publie une photographie de Marilyn portant la robe fushia du film "Niagara", posant devant une couronne de Noël et dédicacée par Marilyn souhaitant un "Joyeux Noël à tous mes gars de la Marines".

* Christmas 1952 with Joe: Romantic one-on-one *
On December 24, 1952, Marilyn Monroe is on the set of “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.”
At the end of the day, a reception is given at the Fox studio. Then she returns alone to her rented suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel. When she opens the door, she discovers Joe DiMaggio, who surprised her by having decorated the place. While he was supposed to spend the holidays with his family, he chooses to spend this Christmas Eve with Marilyn who found herself alone. He had a decorated tree installed, on which he was placing the last ornament (a silver star) at the top when Marilyn entered. He ordered a meal, champagne in a silver ice bucket and logs flaming in the fireplace. It will remain for Marilyn, as she confided to her friends later, her best Christmas ever.
The American magazine Leatherneck in December 1952 published a photograph of Marilyn wearing the fuchsia dress from the film "Niagara", posing in front of a Christmas wreath and autographed by Marilyn wishing a "Merry Christmas to all my Marines".


 * Noël 1953 avec Joe: un Manteau de Fourrure à San Francisco *
Marilyn refuse de tourner le film que lui impose les studios de la Fox, intitulé "The Girl in Pink Tights" (titre traduit par "La Fille en collants roses") jugeant le scénario bien faible. Elle fuit Hollywood et prend l'avion le 23 décembre à 23h45 incognito, enregistrée sous le nom de Miss Norma Dougherty et ayant réservé une place bon marché à l'arrière de l'avion (elle a payé le ticket 15,53 $), pour se rendre via le vol 440 de la Western Airlines à San Francisco où l'attend Joe DiMaggio dans sa maison (au 2150 Beach Street). Elle a pris peu de bagages (un petit sac de voyage contenant un tailleur, une jupe et deux pulls). Ce Noël 1953, Joe lui offre de somptueux cadeaux, parmi lesquels un manteau de vison, qu'elle emportera pour son voyage au Japon avec Joe en février 1954.

 * Christmas 1953 with Joe: a Fur Coat in San Francisco *
Marilyn refuses to make the movie imposed on her by the Fox studios, entitled "The Girl in Pink Tights", judging the script to be very weak. She fled Hollywood and boarded on a plane on December 23 at 11:45 p.m. incognito, registered under the name Miss Norma Dougherty and having reserved a cheap seat at the back of the plane (she paid $15.53 for the ticket), to go via Western Airlines Flight 440 to San Francisco where Joe DiMaggio is waiting for her in his house (at 2150 Beach Street). She took little luggage (a small travel bag containing a suit, a skirt and two sweaters). That Christmas 1953, Joe gave her sumptuous gifts, including a mink coat, which she took with her for her trip to Japan with Joe in February 1954. 


 * Noël 1954 chez les Greene: Zelda Zonk à New York *
L'année 1954 écoulée aura été forte en émotion dans la vie de Marilyn: des démêlés avec les studios de la Fox, un mariage soldé par un divorce 9 mois plus tard (avec Joe DiMaggio avec qui elle reste en très bon terme) et des soucis de santé (elle subit une opération gynécologique en novembre). Marilyn s'est fortement liée d'amitié avec le photographe Milton H Greene, qui vit sur la Côte Est, à l'opposé d'Hollywood, et ils prévoient en secret de s'associer pour fonder leur maison de production. En décembre 1954, Marilyn quitte Los Angeles en secret (seuls Natasha Lytess, Anna Karger et Joe DiMaggio sont au courant) et prend un vol pour New York, incognito en étant affublée d'une perruque brune et voyageant sous le pseudonyme de Zelda Zonk. Elle est accueillie chez les Greene (Milton et sa femme Amy Greene qui ont un fils, Joshua), dans leur maison de Fanton Hill Road, à Weston, une maison isolée dans la campagne du Connecticut; et où Marilyn occupe une chambre d'amis au rez-de-chaussée, la "chambre mauve". Elle passe les fêtes de fin d'année chez les Greene. Amy Greene racontera: "Le premier Noël que Marilyn a passé avec nous, j'ai pensé que ce serait bien de lui offrir des vêtements d'Anne Klein. Je suis allée voir Ben, je lui ai dit ce que je voulais et il m'a envoyé six tenues. Quand elles sont arrivées, j'ai mis un gros ruban sur la boîte sans l'ouvrir. Le jour de Noël, j'ai offert la boîte à Marilyn. Elle était comme une enfant qui criait; chaque robe était un paradis. Elle aimait particulièrement la robe ballerine blanche avec un dessous de slip. Deux pièces distinctes. "Milton, tu dois me photographier avec ça", a-t-elle dit."

 * Christmas 1954 at Greene's: Zelda Zonk in New York *
The past year of 1954 was full of emotion in Marilyn's life: problems with the Fox studios, a marriage ending in divorce 9 months later (with Joe DiMaggio with whom she remained on very good terms) and
health concerns (she underwent a gynecological surgery operation in November). Marilyn has become a close friend of photographer Milton H Greene, who lives on the East Coast, on the opposite side of Hollywood, and they secretly plan to team up to found their production company. In December 1954, Marilyn leaves Los Angeles in secret (only Natasha Lytess, Anna Karger and Joe DiMaggio are in the confidence) and takes a flight to New York, incognito, wearing a brown wig and traveling under the pseudonym Zelda Zonk. She is welcomed by the Greenes (Milton and his wife Amy Greene who have a son, Joshua), in their house on Fanton Hill Road, in Weston, an isolated house in the Connecticut countryside; and where Marilyn occupies a guest room on the ground floor, the “mauve room”. She's spending the holiday season with the Greenes. Amy Greene will tell: ​"The first Christmas Marilyn spent with us, I thought it would be nice to get her some Anne Klein clothes. I went to Ben, told him what I wanted and he sent over six outfits. When it arrived, I put a big ribbon on the box without opening it. Christmas day, I gave the box to Marilyn. She was like a squealing child; each dress was heaven. She especially liked the white ballerina dress with an under slip. Two separate pieces. 'Milton, you have to photograph me in this', she said."


 * Noël 1955 avec ses Amis: le plein de cadeaux à New York *
Marilyn a passé la majeure partie de l'année 1955 à New York où elle y mène une nouvelle vie à fréquenter des intellectuels et à prendre des cours d'art dramatique à l'Actors Studio. En décembre, elle se rend à une exposition consacrée à Rodin au Metropolitan Museum de New York avec Norman Rosten, un poète devenu un ami proche. Elle fait de nombreux achats de Noël chez Saks, le grand magasin chic de la 5ème avenue de New York, accompagnée de James Haspiel, un jeune fan qui la suit partout et avec qui elle a lié une certaine complicité. Peut être a-t-elle passé les fêtes avec les Greene ou avec les Rosten.
Amy Greene racontera que lors d'une journée de shopping dans les grands magasins de la Cinquième Avenue, Marilyn s'y était rendue incognito (lunettes de soleil, perruque brune, vêtements larges), passant ainsi totalement inaperçue auprès des clients comme des employés. Et petit à petit, elle s'est progressivement débarassée de ses artifices, se rendant aux toilettes de la boutique de Saks en ajustant sa tenue et ôtant perruque et lunettes, pour en ressortir sous son identité de star: Marilyn Monroe, provoquant ainsi une grande stupeur auprès de tout le monde. 
Arthur Miller (qu'elle épousera en juin 1956) lui envoie une carte pour Noël intitulée "Pour Marilyn" (sur l'enveloppe, il y a inscrit "Pour la nouille"), sur laquelle est représentée un dessin de deux personnages découragés avec la légende « Non, je suis plus déprimé que vous. » et Miller y a écrit « Vous ne l'êtes pas non plus ». A l'intérieur de la carte, il parle du cadeau qui accompagnait la carte.

 * Christmas 1955 with Friends: lots of gifts in New York *
Marilyn spent most of 1955 in New York where she led a new life, socializing with intellectuals and taking drama classes at the Actors Studio. In December, she went to an exhibition devoted to Rodin at the Metropolitan Museum in New York with Norman Rosten, a poet who has become a close friend. She does a lot of Christmas shopping at Saks, the chic department store on 5th Avenue in New York, accompanied by James Haspiel, a young fan who followed her everywhere and with whom she has formed a certain bond. Maybe she spends the holidays with the Greenes or the Rostens.
Amy Greene will recount that during a day of shopping in the department stores on Fifth Avenue, Marilyn went there incognito (sunglasses, brown wig, baggy clothes), thus going completely unnoticed by customers and employees alike. And little by little, she gradually got rid of her artifices, going to the toilets of the Saks store, adjusting her outfit and removing her wig and glasses, to emerge under her star identity: Marilyn Monroe, thus causing a great amazement to everyone.
Arthur Miller (whom she will marry in June 1956) sends her a Christmas card entitled "For Marilyn" (on the envelope, he wrote "For Noodle"), on which is represented a drawing of two despondent characters with the caption "No, I'm more depressed than you are." and Miller wrote "You're not either." Inside the card, he talks about the gift that accompanied the card.


 * Noël 1958 avec Arthur: Fausse couche et Dépression *
Après le tournage compliqué de "Certains l'aiment chaud", Marilyn retourne à New York avec son mari Arthur Miller fin novembre pour se reposer. Elle est enceinte et les médecins lui ont préconisé non seulement du repos, mais aussi de soigner son hygiène de vie (pas d'alcool ni de médicaments). Le 15 décembre 1958, elle est hospitalisée à l'hôpital polyclinique de Manhattan et fait une fausse couche; elle en était à son 3ème mois de grossesse. La triste nouvelle est rapidement publiée dans la presse 3 jours plus tard, déclarant qu'elle va bien physiquement, mais que son moral est au plus bas. Marilyn va beaucoup culpabiliser, se sentant responsable de la perte du foetus, tel qu'elle l'écrira aux Rosten, elle prenait des barbituriques (de l'Amytal) et a bu du vin de Xérès. Elle passe les fêtes de Noël et du Nouvel An dans un état de déprime, qui va perdurer plusieurs semaines, multipliant les séances chez sa psychiatre Marianne Kris.

 * Christmas 1958 with Arthur: Miscarriage and Depression *
After the complicated filming of "Some Like It Hot", Marilyn returns to New York with her husband Arthur Miller at the end of November to rest.
She is pregnant and the doctors have recommended not only rest, but also to take care of her lifestyle (no alcohol or medications). On December 15, 1958, she is hospitalized at Manhattan Polyclinic Hospital and suffered a miscarriage; she was in her 3rd month of pregnancy. The sad news was quickly published in the press 3 days later, stating that she was doing well physically, but that her morale was at its lowest. Marilyn will feel a lot of guilt, feeling responsible for the loss of the fetus, as she wrote to the Rosten, she took barbiturates (Amytal) and drank sherry wine. She spends the Christmas and New Year holidays in a state of depression, which lasted for several weeks, increasing the number of sessions with her psychiatrist Marianne Kris.


 * Noël 1960 avec les Strasberg:  Lassitude *
Marilyn passe les fêtes de Noël 1960 à écouter de la musique en buvant du champagne avec la famille Strasberg, dans leur appartement de New York: avec Lee Strasberg (co-fondateur de l'Actors Studio), sa femme Paula Strasberg (devenue la coach attitrée de Marilyn qui l'accompagne sur ses tournages de films), et leurs enfants Susan (qui a 22 ans) et John (qui a 17 ans). Marilyn vient officiellement de se séparer d'Arthur Miller (annonce faite à la presse début novembre) et elle renvoie l'image d'une femme emplie de lassitude. Elle reste proche des enfants de ses ex-maris: elle envoie des cadeaux et cartes de Noël à Joe DiMaggio Jr (le fils de Joe), et Robert et Jane Ellen Miller (les enfants d'Arthur).

* Christmas 1960 with the Strasbergs: Weariness *
Marilyn spends the Christmas holidays of 1960 listening to music while drinking champagne with the Strasberg family, in their New York apartment: with Lee Strasberg (co-founder of the Actors Studio), his wife Paula Strasberg (who became the
Marilyn's official coach on her film shoots), and their children Susan (who is 22 years old) and John (who is 17 years old). Marilyn has officially separated from Arthur Miller (announcement made to the press at the beginning of November) and she conveys the image of a woman full of weariness. She remains close to her ex-husbands' children: she sends gifts and Christmas cards to Joe DiMaggio Jr (Joe's son), and Robert and Jane Ellen Miller (Arthur's children).


 * Dernier Noël en 1961 avec Joe: chez les Greenson *
Joe DiMaggio vient à Los Angeles le 23 décembre et il décore l'appartement de Doheny Drive de Marilyn avec un sapin et remplit son réfrigérateur de champagne et de caviar, pensant certainement passer un Noël similaire de celui de 1952, c'est à dire en tête-à-tête. Mais Marilyn avait déjà accepté une invitation chez les Greenson (Ralph Greenson est son psychiatre) pour le dîner de Noël. Joe, frileux d'y aller car il est timide avec les étrangers, finit par accepter à contrecœur, dans l'unique but de faire plaisir à Marilyn.

* Last Christmas in 1961 with Joe: at the Greenson's *
Joe DiMaggio comes to Los Angeles on December 23 and he decorates Marilyn's Doheny Drive apartment with a tree and fills her refrigerator with champagne and caviar, no doubt thinking of having a Christmas similar to that of 1952, that is to say in
face-to-face. But Marilyn has already accepted an invitation to the Greensons (Ralph Greenson is her psychiatrist) for Christmas dinner. Joe, reluctant to go because he is shy with strangers, ends up agreeing reluctantly, with the sole aim of pleasing Marilyn.

 Vintage original bespoke showgirl leotard constructed of form-fitted nude nylon panels ornamented with sunflower yellow and jet-black sequins, clear and black strung bugle beads, faceted crystals, black bead tassels and sprays, with large crystal embellishment of a variety of shapes and sizes of faceted crystals ringing the halter collar and culminating in a cluster of brooch-style crystals at the plunging V-neckline of the garment.

Worn by Russell for publicity appearances alongside her Gentlemen Prefer Blondes co-star Marilyn Monroe, who wore an identical custom costume. The interior has been reinforced for display with 2-web bands, which are gently thread-basted and easily removed. The leotard retains an interior studio paper laundering tag. Exhibiting wear, rubbing to base fabric, exposed elastic shoulder straps, and sequin and bead loss, soiling throughout, not detracting from the spectacular effect of the dazzling, glamorous, and revealing costume.

Lot 89099: The Seven Year Itch (TCF, 1955, Created ca. Early 1970s), Marilyn Monroe "The Girl" Bill Travilla-created Exhibition "Subway Dress".
 This iconic dress was created by legendary Marilyn Monroe costume designer Bill Travilla for museum exhibitions. The bias-cut, rayon dress features a halter top with plunging neckline and a sunburst pleated skirt with Travilla, Inc. interior label. The design flattered Monroe's signature figure which is showcased in one of the most memorable scenes in cinematic history, as Monroe stands over a subway grate holding the cocktail dress as it billows around her, revealing her legs. The original screen-worn dress, famously owned by Debbie Reynolds, was sold by Profiles in History on June 18, 2011 for a record-setting 5.52 million dollars-which remains the most expensive piece of Hollywood memorabilia ever sold. Dress exhibits minor discoloration on the skirt. Acquired by Planet Hollywood in 1996 from William Sarris, Travilla's business partner.

Lot 89101: Marilyn Monroe Rare Oversize "Champion Line" 1952 Nude Calendar Sample Sales Portfolio.
Vintage original 1952 sample sales portfolio produced by "Champion Line" Calendars. Multi-size calendar sales mock-ups were sent to prospective businesses along with order forms and catalogs. This original 1952 sample spiral-bound portfolio features Monroe's most famous nude image, titled "Golden Dreams," among a variety of other subjects, including both cheesecake, and everyday life scenes. Monroe's name was not printed on this early calendar image; not until their 1956 calendars would "Champion Line" capitalize on Monroe's celebrity and re-issue the "Golden Dreams" pin-up with her name listed in bold text (along with unused images from the 1949 photo shoot). The uncommonly oversized 16.5" x 21" spiral calendar-formatted portfolio includes the legendary 1952 calendar plate (Monroe's page measures 16" x 20") plus other subjects in this size, as well as a smaller 14" x 14" plate of a Norman Rockwell-type scene of a young boy hiding his dog on a passenger train. Monroe's "Golden Dreams" image reached legendary proportions when Hugh Hefner made it the centerfold for the very first issue of Playboy in 1953. Displays moderate toning and signs of handling to corners and margins, including a 2" separation from spiral binding at upper left, plus minor red marker spots at center left margin. Interior pages remain relatively fresh, showing only minor flecking at extreme lower margins from page turning. Obtained from Profiles in History, June 1, 1996, Lot #400.

Le 13 juillet 1956, Marilyn Monroe et Arthur Miller partent de New York pour se rendre en Angleterre où Marilyn doit tourner "The Prince and the Showgirl" (Le prince et la danseuse). Une foule de personnes s'est regroupée à l'aéroport new-yorkais pour apercevoir le couple qui prend l'avion, accompagné par les parents d'Arthur. De nombreux journalistes de la presse écrite et aussi des caméras, sont sur les lieux. La presse va rapporter que le couple voyage avec 27 valises.

Le couple arrive à Londres le 14 juillet. La nouvelle de l'arrivée de Marilyn avait fait la Une des journaux, allant jusqu'à éclipser un très important discours du Premier Ministre Anthony Eden sur la catastrophe économique en Angleterre. Marilyn et Arthur sont assaillis dès leur descente d'avion à Idlewild Airport: près de 70 policiers sont présents pour assurer la sécurité car plus de 200 journalistes et photographes sont agglutinés sur le tarmac et dans l'aéroport.

Une conférence de presse est organisée dans le petit salon de l'aéroport et au bar du petit hôtel. Les journalistes posent des questions idiotes à Marilyn, la considérant comme une petite blonde stupide; ils lui demandent notamment ses habitudes de sommeil, ce à quoi elle réplique:
-"Maintenant que je suis en Angleterre, disons que avant de dormir, j'aime me parfumer avec de la lavande de Yardley's".
Les journalistes -quasiment tous masculins- vont être finalement totalement séduits par la star et sont surpris par ses réparties délicieuses. Le journal 'The London Evening News' va écrire dans ses colonnes: "Elle marche. Elle parle. Elle est aussi savoureuse que des fraises à la crème."

Marilyn et Arthur sont escortés jusqu'à une limousine (une Austin Princess) qui les amènent à Parkside House, une propriété située à Englefield Green à Egham, à moins d'une heure en voiture de Londres. Le photographe Milton Greene et l'attaché de presse de Marilyn, Arthur Jacobs, s'y rendent aussi; ils sont escortés par quatre policiers en motos. Le couple Olivier les suivent dans une Bentley.

The wardrobe and hairdress of Clara

_look-ATTT-Dress-clothes-010-1  


Dans les crédits officiels du film, il est indiqué que le créateur des costumes est René Hubert, et dont la direction du "département" des costumes à la Fox est dirigée par le styliste Charles Le Maire. Le maquilleur est Ben Nye et il n'y aucune mention du nom du coiffeur.

Quand Marilyn Monroe effectue ses essais costumes, coiffures et maquillage le 05 août 1949, elle y est photographiée avec les panneaux indicatifs mentionnant le nom de René Hubert, comme étant le "designer", c'est à dire le créateur et styliste des vêtements pour ce film. La carrière d'Hubert a duré près de 40 ans (de 1924 à 1964) et il a habillé de nombreuses actrices du théâtre, de la comédie musicale et du cinéma dans près de 200 films (Gloria Swamson, Marlene Dietrich, Gene Tierney, Linda Darnell, Vivien Leigh, Jean Simmons, Ingrid Bergman), travaillant pour de nombreux films d'époque, et il a aussi créé les uniformes des hôtesses de l'air de la companie Swissair.

René Hubert en 1932 / Ben Nye maquille Marilyn en 1947

In the film's official credits, it is stated that the costume designer is Rene Hubert, and whose management of the costume "department" at Fox is headed by stylist Charles Le Maire. The makeup artist is Ben Nye and there is no mention of the hairstylist's name.

When Marilyn Monroe makes her costume, hairstyle and makeup tests on August 5, 1949, she is photographed with the indicative signs mentioning the name of Rene Hubert, as being the "designer", that is to say the creator and stylist of the clothes for this film. Hubert's career spanned nearly 40 years (from 1924 to 1964) and he dressed numerous theater, musical and cinema actresses in nearly 200 films (Gloria Swamson, Marlene Dietrich, Gene Tierney, Linda Darnell, Vivien Leigh, Jean Simmons, Ingrid Bergman), working for numerous period films, and he also created the uniforms of the Swissair flight attendants.

Marilyn joue le rôle de Clara, une showgirl (chanteuse et danseuse) faisant partie d'une troupe de quatre filles, sous l'autorité d'une patronne, et qui se déplacent en roulotte pour se produire de ville en ville. Chacune des filles a une tenue monochome: Annie (Marion Marshall) en robe rose, Ruby (Joyce MacKenzie) en robe bleue, Julie (Barbara Smith) en robe verte, Clara (Marilyn Monroe) en robe jaune et leur patronne Madame Adelaide (Connie Gilchrist) en robe noire.

Marilyn plays the role of Clara, a showgirl (singer and dancer) who is part of a troupe of four girls, under the authority of a boss, and who travel in a trailer to perform from town to town. Each of the girls has a monochromatic outfit: Annie (Marion Marshall) in a pink dress, Ruby (Joyce MacKenzie) in a blue dress, Julie (Barbara Smith) in a green dress, Clara (Marilyn Monroe) in a yellow dress and their boss Madame Adelaide (Connie Gilchrist) in a black dress.

Le genre du film étant un western où l'histoire se situe au XVIIIème siècle, les robes portées par les actrices sont des tenues faites de juxtaposition de jupons evasés, avec des rubans, une taille marquée (de style corset), des couleurs vives et chatoyantes. Parmi l'accessoire incontournable de cette époque, se trouve le chapeau. Les actrices en portent deux différents: un grand chapeau à plumes (dont la couleur est coordonnée à leur tenue) et une bonnette. Pour les coiffures, les cheveux ont des boucles à l'anglaise.

The genre of the film being a western where the story is set in the 18th century, the dresses worn by the actresses are outfits made of juxtaposition of flared petticoats, with ribbons, a marked waist (corset style), bright colors and shimmering. Among the essential accessories of this era is the hat. The actresses wear two different ones: a large feathered hat (color coordinated with their outfit) and a bonnet. For hairstyles, the hair has English curls.


Dans le film
In the movie


La robe jaune est composée de trois pièces: un corsage, une jupe et une veste.
Il existe cependant deux jupes et deux corsages différents.

- La jupe longue est amovible en courte: elle comporte deux jupons avec le long jupon qui peut s'enlever, permettant d'avoir ainsi la robe courte, avec le petit jupon à volant. On remarque qu'il s'agit de la même jupe par le bandeau en velours vert sur le petit jupon à volant. Ce bandeau contient une finition dentelle (du passepoil) à son extrémité du dessus, de couleur rouge. Marilyn a posé pour les photos des essais costumes avec cette version courte et longue de la jupe. Elle porte le modèle long de la jupe dans le film, mais ce n'est pas ce modèle version courte qu'elle porte dans le film, mais une autre jupe.
Marilyn porte la composition jupe longue et veste dans une grande partie du film.

- La jupe courte contient aussi un bandeau sur le petit jupon à volant, toujours de couleur verte, mais ne comporte pas de finition à dentelle (passepoil). Et c'est ce modèle de jupe que Marilyn porte dans la scène de chant et danse du film.

- Un corsage avec quatre noeuds que Marilyn porte dans la scène de chant et danse du film.

- Un corsage avec un seul noeud au niveau du décolleté (qui n'est pas porté par Marilyn dans le film).

_look-ATTT-Dress-clothes-011-1  

The yellow dress is made up of three pieces: a blouse, a skirt and a jacket.
There are, however, two different skirts and two different blouses.

- The long skirt is removable as a short one: it has two petticoats with the long petticoat which can be removed, allowing to have the short dress, with the small ruffled petticoat. We notice that it is the same skirt by the green velvet band on the small ruffled petticoat. This headband contains a lace finish (piping) at its top end, red in color. Marilyn posed for costume trial photos with this short and long version of the skirt. She wears the long model of the skirt in the film, but it is not this short version that she wears in the film, but another skirt.
Marilyn wears the long skirt and jacket composition in a large part of the film.

- The short skirt also contains a band on the small ruffled petticoat, still green in color, but does not have a lace finish (piping). And it is this model of skirt that Marilyn wears in the song and dance scene of the film.

- A blouse with four bows that Marilyn wears in the song and dance scene of the film.

- A blouse with a single bow at the neckline (which is not worn by Marilyn in the film).


- La jupe longue amovible -
- The removable long skirt -

_look-ATTT-Dress-clothes-dress-1-skirt_long 

La jupe longue amovible en jupe courte est de deux niveaux, composée de deux jupons:
- celui du haut en partant de la taille dont la longueur atteint la cuisse (bien au-dessus des genoux), plissé de forme évasé à volant, en coton jaune caramel, comporte une bande de velours vert avec une finition en passepoil rouge. Dans le dos se trouve deux longues bandes de tissu en coton jaune caramel (de la même couleur que la jupe) croisées en forme de grand noeud au niveau des fesses et dont les longueurs pendent à l'arrière formant une sorte de traîne.
- celui du bas qui est amovible et se retire, dont la longueur atteint les pieds (ils sont cachés par la robe), évasé et à volant dans le bas, délimité par une bande de velours vert et une finition en passepoil rouge au-dessus du bandeau.
C'est la version longue de la jupe que Clara / Marilyn porte dans une grande partie du film.

The removable long skirt into a short skirt is two-tiered, consisting of two petticoats:
- the top one starting from the waist, the length of which reaches the thigh (well above the knees), pleated in a flared shape with a ruffle, in caramel yellow cotton, has a band of green velvet with a red piping finish. In the back there are two long strips of caramel yellow cotton fabric (the same color as the skirt) crossed in the shape of a large bow at the level of the buttocks and the lengths of which hang at the back forming a sort of train.
- the bottom one which is removable and can be removed, the length of which reaches the feet (they are hidden by the dress), flared and ruffled at the bottom, delimited by a band of green velvet and a red piping finish above of the headband.
This is the long version of the skirt that Clara / Marilyn wears in much of the film.

La jupe longue est présentée avec le corsage d'un noeud comme étant une seule pièce constituant ainsi une robe. L'ensemble appartenait à l'actrice Debbie Reynolds qui l'a ensuite vendu aux enchères de Julien's pour 35 000 Dollars en 2003, puis la robe a été à nouveau présentée à d'autres ventes aux enchères (Profiles in History en 2018 et Heritage Auctions en 2019). A la dernière vente de 2019, l'ensemble n'aurait pas trouvé d'acheteur.
Mais la jupe longue a aussi été présentée avec le corsage aux quatre noeuds à une exposition qui s'est déroulée au TCL Chinese Theatre de Hollywood en 2022.

The long skirt is presented with the blouse of a bow as being a single piece thus constituting a dress. The outfit belonged to actress Debbie Reynolds who then sold it at Julien's auction for $35,000 in 2003, and the dress was re-presented at other auctions (Profiles in History in 2018 and Heritage Auctions in 2019). At the last sale of 2019, the outfit didn't find a buyer.
But the long skirt was also presented with blouse with four bows at an exhibition which took place at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood in 2022.

Le jupon court dont la longueur atteint la cuisse (bien au-dessus du genoux), plissé de forme évasé à volant, en coton jaune caramel, comporte une bande (en tissu style satin) de ruban vert au niveau des hanches. Dans le dos se trouve deux longues bandes de tissu en coton jaune caramel (de la même couleur que la jupe) croisées en forme de grand noeud au niveau des fesses et dont les longueurs pendent à l'arrière, formant une sorte de petite traîne. La fermeture est zippée dans le dos et la traîne se ferme par des boutons à pression. A l'intérieur une étiquette est cousue indiquant "A581-04 Marilyn Monroe".
C'est cette jupe courte que Clara / Marilyn porte dans une scène du film, celle où elle chante et danse. Il n'existe pas de photographie des essais costumes de Marilyn portant cette version de cette jupe.

The short petticoat, the length of which reaches the thigh (well above the knees), pleated in a flared shape with a ruffle, in caramel yellow cotton, has a band (in satin-style fabric) of green ribbon on the hips. In the back there are two long strips of caramel yellow cotton fabric (the same color as the skirt) crossed in the shape of a large bow at the level of the buttocks and the lengths of which hang at the back, forming a sort of small train. The closure is zipped in the back and the train closes with snap buttons. Inside a label is sewn indicating "A581-04 Marilyn Monroe".
It's this short skirt that Clara / Marilyn wears in a scene in the film, the one where she sings and dances. There are no photographs of Marilyn's costume tests wearing this version of this skirt.

Les manches sont longues, avec les poignets froncés et le dos fendu ouvert.
Clara / Marilyn porte cette chemise de nuit dans une courte scène dans la tente.

The nightgown is very long, revealing the tips of the toes, with a flowing drape, in cream silk crepe with a decorative lace pattern on the organza ruffled collar. A double pleat runs the full length of the front from collar to hem, with blue satin ribbon running in and out of sewn-in loop openings around the waist, with a hook and eye closure at the back. The sleeves are long, with gathered cuffs and an open slit back.

Clara / Marilyn porte deux paires de chaussures:
Clara / Marilyn wears two pairs of shoes:

- Des souliers noirs à petits talons, ouvertes au-dessus du pied, et fermées par un ruban noir sur le devant. Les autres actrices showgirl portent toutes cette même paire de souliers. Marilyn porte aussi une petite chaîne à la cheville gauche, comme elle en a l'habitude de le faire dans la vie.

- Black shoes with small heels, open above the foot, and closed with a black ribbon on the front. The other showgirl actresses all wear this same pair of shoes. Marilyn also wears a small chain on her left ankle, as she usually does in life.

* * * * *

- Des chaussures d'intérieur, genre de chaussons ballerines, qui se ferment avec une cocarde, qu'elle semble porter pour la scène de nuit (quand elle est vêtue de la chemise de nuit); dans le film, il n'y a pas de plan en entier permettant de la voir avec les ballerines aux pieds. On ne connait ces ballerines que sur la photographie prise lors des essais de la tenue de la chemise de nuit.

- Indoor shoes, like ballerina slippers, which close with a cockade, which she seems to wear for the night scene (when she is dressed in the night gown); in the film, there is no full shot allowing us to see her with the ballerinas on her feet. We only know these ballerinas from the photograph taken during the testing of the nightgown.

- Des boucles à l'anglaise, cad des boucles très prononcées gardant la forme des rouleaux;
- English curls, i.e. very pronounced curls keeping the shape of the rollers;

- La chevelure ondulée (les boucles ont été peignées) et le devant (au niveau de la frange) très bouclé;
- Wavy hair (the curls have been combed) and the front (at the fringe) very curly;

- Une autre coiffure avait été effectuée lors des essais costumes mais non retenue dans le film: la frange est ondulée et légèrement crantée et coiffée sur le côté (mouvement de cheveux ramenés sur la droite du visage), et sur chaque côté, les cheveux sont ramenés à l'arrière (maintenus sans doute par des pinces) et les longueurs bouclés à l'anglaise.
- Another hairstyle was done during costume tests but not retained in the film: the bangs are wavy and slightly notched and styled on the side (movement of hair brought back to the right of the face), and on each side, the hair are brought back to the back (probably held by clips) and the lengths curled in the English style.

Clara / Marilyn porte deux chapeaux:
Clara/Marilyn wears two hats:

- Un grand chapeau de paille ajouré garni de plumes d'oiseaux de deux couleurs (jaune et vert nuance 'veine'), maintenu au cou par une longue cocarde en satin vert (nuance 'émeraude') dont la longueur atteint la taille. Les couleurs du chapeau font ainsi échos aux couleurs de la robe (jaune et verte). Les autres actrices qui jouent les showgirls portent toutes de grands chapeaux ajourés avec des plumes de deux couleurs qui font échos à leurs robes. Dans leur première scène d'apparition du film, elles tiennent toutes une grande boîte à chapeaux.
- A large openwork straw hat garnished with bird feathers of two colors (yellow and green 'vein' shade), held at the neck by a long cockade in green satin ('emerald' shade) whose length reaches the waist. The colors of the hat thus echo the colors of the dress (yellow and green). The other actresses who play the showgirls all wear large openwork hats with two-colored feathers that echo their dresses. In their first appearance scene in the film, they are all holding a large hat box.

Lors d'un repas avec l'équipe du film qui était logé à la station thermale hôtelière "Trimble Hot Springs" à Durango, Marilyn porte sur ses épaules un anorak, qui semble être l'anorak rouge qu'elle porte pour une séance photo prise en 1950 sur la baie d'Hollywood: tissu matellassé et capuche ornée de fourrure blanche.

During a meal with the film crew who were staying at the "Trimble Hot Springs" hotel spa in Durango, Marilyn carries an anorak on her shoulders, which appears to be the red anorak she wears for a photo shoot taken in 1950 on Hollywood Bay: quilted fabric and hood decorated with white fur.

_look-ATTT-Dress-clothes-set-MM-2 

Aux pieds, elle porte des santiags qu'elle chausse à nouveau en 1951 pour une séance photo publicitaire pour la Saint Valentin, où elle porte aussi un grand chapeau blanc de cowboy; et en 1952 à l'époque du tournage du film "Le démon s'éveille la nuit".

On her feet, she wears cowboy boots, which she wears again in 1951 for a publicity photo shoot for Valentine's Day, where she also wears a large white cowboy hat; and in 1952 at the time of the filming of the film “Clash by Night”.

21/06/1949, Warrensburg - Concours "Dream Home"

Tournée promo pour "La Pêche au Trésor"
"Love Happy" Tour Promo


En juin 1949, Marilyn Monroe est en voyage à travers les Etats-Unis pour promouvoir La pêche au trésor en compagnie de Lester Cowan, le producteur du film. Elle se rend à New York, chargée par le magazine Photoplay de participer à la remise du prix du concours "Dream Home" ("La Maison de Rêve") organisé par le magazine.
Marilyn, ayant entendue dire qu'à New York il faisait toujours beaucoup plus froid qu'à Los Angeles, était partie vêtue d'une robe en laine noire, alors qu'il faisait une chaleur accablante et ce, dès le trajet en train. Sur place, Lester Cowan lui achète une robe blanche en coton, achetée chez un grossiste à New York, qu'elle portera tout le reste du séjour.

In June 1949, Marilyn Monroe travels across the United States to promote Love Happy with Lester Cowan, the producer of the movie. She goes to New York, charged by Photoplay magazine to participate to the award ceremony for the "Dream Home" contest organized by the magazine.
Marilyn, having heard it said that in New York it was always much colder than in Los Angeles, was leaving dressed in a black wool dress, while it was oppressively hot right from the train ride. There, Lester Cowan buys her a white cotton dress, bought from a wholesaler in New York, that she wears throughout her stay.


 Le 21 juin 1949, Marilyn Monroe et les acteurs Don Defore, Donald Buka et Lon McAllister (ce dernier est son partenaire dans Bagarre pour une blonde) prennent le train de New York (à la gare Grand Central Station) jusqu'à Albany (environ à 240 km de distance). Marilyn se rend aux toilettes pour se remaquiller et elle manque de rater le train. L'assistant d'Adele Fletcher (l'éditrice de Photoplay) qui suivait Marilyn, racontera qu'elle manquait cruellement d'asssurance sur son apparence.

On June 21, 1949, Marilyn Monroe and the actors Don Defore, Donald Buka and Lon McAllister (the latter is her partner in Scudda Hoo ! Scudda Hay !) take the train from New York (to the Grand Central Station) to Albany (about 150 miles). Marilyn goes to the ladies'room to redo her makeup and she almost misses the train. Adele Fletcher's assistant (the editor of Photoplay) who followed Marilyn, will say that she was painfully insecure about her appearance.

Arrivés à Albany, ils sont amenés en voiture à Warrensburg (Etat de New York) pour faire les derniers 110 km, où se trouve la maison; et c'est Lawrence Griffin (le gérant de la société Griffin Lumber, de la compagnie Glens Falls qui a construit la maison) qui les emmène: il racontera à sa future femme que le couple (Marilyn et l'un des acteurs - il ne se souvient plus de qui) s'est assis à l'arrière et s'est embrassé tout le long du trajet jusqu'à Warrensburg !

Arrive in Albany, they are driven to Warrensburg (NY) by car to make the last 70 miles, where the house is located; and this is Lawrence Griffin (the president of Griffin Lumber, the Glens Falls company that built the prize home) who drive them: he will tell to his future wife that the couple (Marilyn & one of the actor -he doesn't remember who) sat in the back and "necked" the whole ride up to Warrensburg !

A Warrensburg, devant la maison, la bande d'acteurs retrouvent une équipe du magazine Photoplay: l'éditrice Adele Fletcher, le rédacteur en chef Ruby Boyd; mais aussi du vice-président exécutif de la 'National Retail Lumber Dealers Association' Cotton Northrup, du producteur conseiller David Miller, et d'autres représentants et journalistes.
L'acteur Lon Mac Callister ne peut attendre et se rend lui-même dans la rue pour découvrir la maison; et des ouvriers sont encore sur place pour terminer quelques finitions ! Des meubles sont encore dans des caisses et des cadres et miroirs pas encore accrochés.
A l'arrivée des autres, près de 500 personnes sont présentes pour assister à la cérémonie: Adele Fletcher remet l'acte de propriété et trois clés à la gagnante Virginia Bleeker McAllister, une veuve (son mari, le révérend Douglas MacAllister, est décédé de la polio en 1945) vivant avec son petit garçon de cinq ans, Gordon "Rusty". Infirmière, elle travaille l'été au camp de filles de ses parents (le camp Niaweh) et l'hiver comme monitrice de ski à North Creek. Elle se tient d'ailleurs sur des béquilles ce jour là, après avoir fait une chute en skiant. Et les dernières finitions sont faites à la maison pendant le temps de la cérémonie.
Emu, Donald Buka déclare: "C'est parfait. Tout est parfait. Une maison parfaite pour une propriétaire parfaite. Nous sommes tous fiers d'être ici."

In Warrensburg, in front of the house, the group of actors meet a group of magazine Photoplay: the editor Adele Fletcher, managing editor Ruby Boyd; but also of the executive vice-president of the 'National Retail Lumber Dealers Association' Cotton Northrup, the producers council David Miller, and other representatives and journalists.
The actor Lon Mac Callister can't wait and goes by himself in the street to discover the house; and workmen are still around to complete some finishes! Furnitures are still in crates and frames and mirrors not yet hung.
At the arrival of the others, nearly 500 people are present to assist at the ceremony: Adele Fletcher gives the
deed of ownership and three keys of the house to the winner, Virginia Bleeker McAllister, a widow (her husband, the Reverend Douglas MacAllister, died of polio in 1945) living with her five years old boy, Gordon "Rusty". A registered nurse, she works the summers at her parents' camp for girls, called Niaweh, and winters as a ski instructor at North Creek. She is also on crutches that day, after having had a fall while skiing. And the last finishes in the house are made during the time of the ceremony.
Moved, Dinald Buka declares: "It's perfect. Everything's perfect. A perfect home for a perfect owner. We're all proud to be here."

En plus des journalistes de Photoplay qui couvre l'événement (les photos paraîtront dans l'édition de Novembre 1949 du magazine), la radio WWSC de Glens Falls a enregistré "la cérémonie" pour la diffuser sur 500 stations du Mutual Radio Network à l'échelle nationale: l'animateur Carl Madison installe le micro de la radio dans la salle à manger et des hauts parleurs sont installés dans la pelouse de la maison pour en faire profiter tout le monde.

 In addition to the reporters from Photoplay covering the event (the photos will appear in the November 1949 issue of the magazine), WWSC radio of Glens Falls recorded "the ceremony" audio-taped the ceremony for broadcast on 500 Mutual Radio Network stations nationwide: the radio host Carl Madison sets up the micro in the living room and speakers micro are set up on the lawn outside the home as everybody can hear.

  Quand elle avait appris qu'elle avait gagné face à 265 000 participants, Mme McAllister avait déclaré: "Je suis dans un état de coma. Je dois reprendre mon souffle. Est-ce vrai, vraiment vrai ?" Elle a pu choisir l'emplacement de la construction de la maison: c'est sur un terrain de 0,5 hectares au 10 James Street à Warrensburg, près des écoles et du quartier des affaires de la ville, qu'elle a choisi de s'installer dans sa ville natale.
C'est une maison moderne en forme de L, comprenant un étage et un sous-sol, décrite par le sponsor du concours comme un "bungalow d'ingénierie industrielle" et dont la construction nécessite moins d'heures de travail que les maisons traditionnelles de l'époque. Les actrices Claudette Colbert, Joan Crawford, Shirley Temple et le réalisateur Mitch Leisen, ainsi que des «ingénieurs de tout le pays», ont même été consulté sur la conception de la maison, dont la construction est incombée à la société Griffin Lumber de Hudson Falls.

  When she heard she had won, Mrs McAllister said: "I’m in a state of coma. I’ve got to catch my breath. Is it true, really true ?" She could choose the location for the house to be built: it is on a one-acre plot on 10 James Street in Warrensburg, near schools and the city's business district, that she chooses to set in her native town.
It is a modern L-shaped house, comprising two floors and a basement, described by the sponsor of the contest as an "industrial engineering bungalow" and which construction requires fewer hours of work than the traditional houses of the time. Actresses Claudette Colbert, Joan Crawford, Shirley Temple and director Mitch Leisen, as well as "engineers from all over the country," were even consulted on the design of the house, which is being built by the Griffin Lumber company of Hudson Falls.

 La maison est aussi entièrement meublée et équipée (par Union-Fern, une chaîne de vente au détail de meubles avec un magasin à Glens Falls), équipement sélectionné par la gagnante Mme McAllister. C'est Lawrence Griffin qui fait faire un tour d'inspection de la maison à Marilyn Monroe et Don Defore et leur montre toutes les pièces. Puis Marilyn et les autres acteurs visitent la maison avec Virginia; Marilyn pose pour les photographes testant les équipements des différentes pièces (aspirateur, cuisine, salle de bain).

 The house is also fully furnished and equipped (by Union-Fern, a retail furniture chain with a store in Glens Falls), the equipment was selected by winner Ms. McAllister. This is Lawrence Griffin who take Marilyn Monroe and Don Defore on a tour of inspection and show them all the rooms. Then, Marilyn and the other actors visit the house with Virginia; Marilyn poses for the photographers testing the equipment in the different rooms (vacuum cleaner, kitchen, bathroom).

Adele Fletcher - l'éditrice de Photoplay - racontera que Marilyn lui a demandé, en bégayant, de l'accompagner aux toilettes pour nettoyer une tache de café sur sa robe. Arrivées aux toilettes, Marilyn se déshabille pour se retrouver entièrement nue devant elle, car ses sous-vêtements étaient aussi tâchés.C'est alors qu'une femme entre, regarde Marilyn et ressort immédiatement, l'air horrifiée. Marilyn demande à Fletcher pourquoi cette femme s'est énervée, et sans bégayer.  Quand Marilyn réapparait ensuite dans la maison, pour reprendre la visite, sa robe et son slip sont mouillés. 

Adele Fletcher - the editor of Photoplay - will tell that Marilyn asked her, in stuttering, to accompany her to the toilets to clean a coffee stain on her dress. Arrived at the toilets, Marilyn undresses to find herself completely naked in front of her, because her underwear was also stained. It is then that a woman enters, looks at Marilyn and comes out immediately, looking horrified. Marilyn asks Fletcher why this woman got angry, and without stuttering. When Marilyn then reappears in the house, to resume the visit, her dress and her underpants are wet.

Puis tout le monde se rend à l'hôtel Colonial Arms où le magazine Photoplay a organisé une fête. Tous arrivent à l'heure, sauf les quatre acteurs et Mme McAllister, car comme l'explique Don Defore: "Ce n'était tout simplement pas juste de laisser tout le nettoyage à Mme MacAllister. Elle avait gagné une nouvelle maison et nous voulions que tout soit propre pour elle." Marilyn passe l'aspirateur, Don Defore remet en place les meubles et Donald Buka vide les cendriers et déballe les affaires restées dans les cartons.

Then everyone goes to the Colonial Arms hotel where Photoplay magazine helds a party. Everybody arrive on time, except the four actors and Mrs. McAllister, because as Don Defore explains: "It just wasn't fair to leave all the cleaning up to Mrs MacAllister. She had won a new home, and we wanted to have it all polished up for her." Marilyn vacuums, Don Defore puts the furniture back in place and Donald Buka empties the ashtrays and is unpacking the stuffs left in the boxes.

Puis les acteurs et Marilyn passent ensuite la soirée et la nuit du 21 au 22 juin 1949 à l'hôtel Colonial Arms (aujourd'hui le RiteAid) de Warrensburg: le superviseur de la ville (nb: c'est une particularité dans l'Etat de New York, une sorte de maire qui peut voter des lois locales) Lee Orton montre la grande clé de la ville à Marilyn, puis ils dînent dans le restaurant de l'hôtel. Ils repartent à New York le lendemain.

The actors and Marilyn spend the night from June 21 to 22, 1949 at the Colonial Arms Hotel (now the RiteAid) in Warrensbur: the town supervisor Lee Orton shows the big key of the town to Marilyn, then, the group have dinner i in the restaurant of the hotel. They return to New York the next day.

5/08/1962 de Brentwood à la Morgue et Autopsie

Journée du dimanche 5 août 1962, au lendemain du décès de Marilyn Monroe.
Day of Sunday, August, 5, 1962, the day after the death of Marilyn Monroe.


 > à 4h25: Le Dr Hyman Engelberg (docteur généraliste de Marilyn) téléphone à la police (the West Los Angeles Police Station) pour dire que "Marilyn Monroe est morte. Elle s'est suicidée. Je suis chez elle."
at 4.25 am: Dr. Hyman Engelberg (Marilyn's doctor) calls the police (the West Los Angeles Police Station) to say "Marilyn Monroe died. She committed suicide. I'm at her home."


> à 4h30: les employés de l'agence de publicité d'Arthur Jacobs sont prévenus de la mort de Marilyn et décident de se retrouver à sa maison au Fifth Helena Drive. Michael Selsman se souvient: "C'était la panique, bien sûr. Les événements étaient déjà hors de contrôle, et là, elle était morte, la presse n'était pas contrainte de cacher ce qu'ils savaient, sauf, bien sûr, pour les choses sur Kennedy, qui sont apparues plus tard. Je repoussais les médias en disant que nous ne savions pas quelle était la cause de la mort, parce que nous ne le savions pas."
at 4.30 am: the employees of the advertising agency of Arthur Jacobs are notified of the death of Marilyn and decided to go to her home at Fifith Helena Drive. Michael Selsman remembers: "It was panic of course. Events were already out of control, and now she was dead the press didn't fell constrained to hide what they knew -except, of course, for the Kennedy stuff, which came later. I fended off the media by saying we didn't know what the cause of death was, because we didn't."


> à 4h40: Le sergent Jack Clemmons est le premier policier à arriver au domicile de Marilyn; il découvre Eunice Murray (la gouvernante) en train de faire le ménage, nettoyant la maison et mettant une lessive dans la machine à laver, avec d'autres linges propres pliés à côté, et les Dr Greenson et Engelberg dans la chambre avec le corps de Marilyn gisant dans son lit à plat ventre sous les draps: "Son corps avait été bougé. Marilyn était allongée sur le ventre dans ce que j'appelle la 'position du soldat'. Son visage était appuyé contre un oreiller, ses bras étaient sur les côtés, le bras droit légèrement plié, et ses jambes étaient parfaitement alignées, comme si elle prenait la pose pour des photos. J'avais l'impression d'arriver sur une scène de crime. J'étais déjà intervenu sur des scènes de suicides par barbituriques, et avant de mourir, les victimes font des convulsions, vomissent et leurs corps sont en distorsions. (...) Les boîtes de pillules posés sur la tablette avaient été clairement disposées en bon ordre et le corps délibérément repositionné. Tout semblait trop rangé."
at 4.40 am: Sergeant Jack Clemmons was the first police officer to arrive at the Marilyn' home, he discovers Eunice Murray (the housekeeper) doing housework, cleaning the house and putting a laundry in the washing machine, with other clean cloths folded side, and Dr. Greenson and Engelberg in the bedroom with Marilyn's body lying in bed face down under the sheets, "Her body seemed to have been moved. Marilyn was lying face down in what I call the soldier's position. Her face was in a pillow, her arms were by her side, her right arm was slightly bent, and her legs were stretched out perfectly straight, as if she were posing for pictures. It was the most obviously staged death scene I have ever seen. I had already seen scenes of suicides by barbiturates, and before dying, victims suffer convulsions and vomiting in a somewhat contorted position.. (...) The pill bottles on her bedside table had been arranged in neat order and the body deliberately positioned. It all looked too tidy".

Arrivée de l'inspecteur Robert E. Byron, qui recueille les déclarations du Dr Greenson, du Dr Engelberg et de Eunice Murray. Il consigne dans son rapport officiel: "L'opinion de l'officier de police est que Mrs Murray était aussi vague et évasive que possible dans ses réponses aux questions concernant les activités de Miss Monroe avant sa mort."
Arrival of Inspector Robert E. Byron, whoh collects reports of Dr. Greenson, Dr. Engelberg and Eunice Murray. He writes in his official report: "The opinion of the police officer is that Mrs. Murray was vague and evasive as possible in her answers to questions about the activities of Miss Monroe before her death."


> Vers 5 h, le journaliste Joe Ramirez (qui travaillait pour la petite agence "City News") reçoit un appel lui annoncant le décès de Marilyn; mais l'information arrive trop tard pour paraître dans les journaux du jour.
> William "Bill" Woodfield (photographe) et Joe Hyams (correspondant au "New York Herald Tribune") se rendent ensemble chez Marilyn sitôt qu'ils apprennent la nouvelle.
Tout comme James Bacon (chroniqueur d'"Associated Press") qui racontera: "Je recourus à une vieille ruse; je me suis présenté devant un flic en prétendant que le bureau du coroner m'avait dépêché sur place. Je suis entré dans la maison mais ne suis pas resté longtemps, juste le temps pour la voir gisant sur son lit. Je remarquai que ses ongles étaient négligés."
Around 5 am, the journalist Joe Ramirez (who worked for the small agency "City News") receives a call announcing the death of Marilyn, but the information comes too late to appear in daily newspapers.
> William "Bill" Woodfield (photographer) and Joe Hyams (corresponding to the "New York Herald Tribune") go together at Marilyns soon as they hear the news.
Just as James Bacon (columnist of "Associated Press") that will tells: "I resorted to an old trick, I introduced myself to a cop claiming that the coroner's office had sent me there. I went into the home but did not stay long, just long enough to see lying her on bed. I noticed that his nails were overlooked."

Au Fifth Helena Drive, chez Marilyn, une foule de personnes se constitue peu à peu, s'agglutinant aux abords de la maison: des journalistes reporters de la télévision, de la radio, de la presse, des paparazzis, des camions et voitures obstruent la rue.
De nombreuses photographies sont prises autour de la maison: devant le patio, la chambre à travers la fenêtre, mais aussi le jardin, où l'on y voit deux animaux en peluche dans l'herbe devant la piscine; Marilyn avait reçu la veille (le 4 août), par colis, un tigre en peluche, dont on ne connait pas le destinataire.
At Fifth Helena Drive, at Marilyn's home, a crowd of people is gradually agglutinating near the house: journalists, reporters from television, radio, press, paparazzi, trucks and cars clog the street.
Many photographs are taken around the house: front patio, the bedroom through the window, but also the garden, where we see two stuffed animals in the grass in front of the pool; Marilyn had received the day before (August 4) per package, a stuffed tiger, which we don't know the recipient.

> Vers 5h10: Jack Clemmons est remplacé par un officier de police d'un grade supérieur (le chef de la police William Parker) pour mener l'enquête et ainsi, soumettre au silence Clemmons qui avait relevé plusieurs faits incohérents (Murray lui avait informé qu'elle avait découvert le corps à minuit, alors qu'elle affirmera par la suite avoir découvert le corps à 3h; d'après Clemmons, le décès devait remontait à environ 8 heures). Clemmons va ensuite appeler son collègue Jim Dougherty, le premier mari de Marilyn, pour l'informer du décès de celle-ci. 
Around 5.10 am: Jack Clemmons is replaced by a police officer of higher rank (the Chief policer William Parker) to investigate and thus submit to silence Clemmons who had identified several inconsistent facts (Murray had informed him she had discovered the body at midnight, while she will affirm after to have discovered the body at 3 am; for Clemmons, the death had occurred some 8 hours before). Clemmons will then call his colleague Jim Dougherty, the first husband of Marilyn, informing him of the Marilyn's death.

Arrivée de l'officier Don Marshall qui fouille la maison à la recherche d'un message attestant le suicide. Il interroge les plus proches voisins de Marilyn, Mr et Mrs Abe Landeau, qui déclarèrent n'avoir rien entendu de suspect pendant la nuit.
Arrival of the officer Don Marshall who search in the house a message stating suicide. He asks the nearest neighbors of Marilyn, Mr. and Mrs. Abe Landeau, who declared to have heard nothing suspicious during the night.


> L'envoyé du coroner, Guy Hockett constate que le décès "remonte à plusieurs heures. Elle était raide et il fallut près de 5 minutes pour la redresser. (...) Elle gisait, assez droite, dans une position semi-foetale. Ses cheveux, desséchés, étaient en très mauvais état à cause de tous ces traitements. Elle n'était pas très belle à voir, au point qu'on avait du mal à croire que c'était bien elle. On aurait dit une pauvre femme ordinaire qui venait de mourir. Pas de maquillage, les cheveux négligés sans mise en plis, un corps fatigué. Nous eûmes tous la même impression, à des degrés divers."
The representative of the coroner Guy Hocknett notes that the death "goes back several hours. She was stiff and it tooks about 5 minutes to recover her. (...) She lays quite right in a semi-fetal position. Her hair, dried, were in very poor condition because of all these treatments. She was not very nice to see, to the point that it was hard to believe it was really her. She seemed as a poor ordinary woman who had just died. No makeup, hair styling neglected, a tired body. We had all the same impression, to varying degrees."


> Vers 5h30: Patricia Newcomb arrive à la maison de Marilyn (elle racontera avoir été prévenue par téléphone à 4 h par Milton Rudin, l'avocat de Marilyn), provoquant une scène, en hurlant aux photographes: "Allez-y, mitraillez, vautours ! ... Espèces de buveurs de sang ! Vampires ! Ne pouvez-vous même pas la laisser mourir en paix ?"; Eunice Murray raconte que lorsque Pat Newcomb est arrivée, "il y avait tant de gens que personne ne l'a remarquée." Pat Newcomb se souvient que "il y avait plus de cinq personnes dans la maison" quand elle y est entrée; elle dit aussi ne pas avoir vu le corps de Marilyn. Elle restera quasiment tout le temps au téléphone, traitant des appels téléphoniques des médias du monde entier; elle racontera: "J'ai parlé à plus de 600 journalistes ce dimanche là. C'était mon travail de faire ce que je pouvais pour Marilyn."
Pat Newcomb était "hystérique" comme le dira Eunice Murray: "Même après que la police décida de fermer la maison, elle refusait toujours de partir. Il a fallu qu'on la fasse sortir."
Around 5.30 am: Patricia Newcomb arrives at Marilyn's home (she will tell to have been prevented by phone at 4 am by Milton Rudin, the Marilyn's lawyer), screaming to photographers: "Go ahead, shoot pictures, vultures ! ... Bloodthirsty Vampires ! Can't you even let her die in peace ?" Eunice Murray says that when Pat Newcomb arrived, "there were so many people that nobody noticed her." Pat Newcomb remembers that "there was more than five people in the house" when she comes in, she also says to don't have seen the Marilyn's body. She will stays almost the time on the phone, dealing with telephone calls from media around the world; she will tell later: "I spoke to over 600 journalists that Sunday. It was my job to do what I could for Marilyn."
Pat Newcomb was "hysterical" as Eunice Murray will tell: "Even after the police decided to close the house, she still refused to go. We had to make exit her. "


> Quand Allan Whitey Snyder, le maquilleur de Marilyn qui, dès qu'il apprend la triste nouvelle, se précipite chez Marilyn, il se fait renvoyer par un policier qui lui refuse l'accès à la maison. Il racontera "qu'il fallait que je voie de mes yeux ce qui était vraiment arrivé." Quand il remonte dans sa voiture et entend à la radio que "Marilyn est morte d'une overdose de barbituriques qu'elle s'est administrée", Snyder ne parvient pas à croire au suicide.
When Allan Whitey Snyder, Marilyn's makeup artist, who, when he learns the sad news, rushed to Marilyn's home, he gets fired by a policeman who refuses him the access to the house. He will tell "that I had set my eyes what really happened." When he goes back to his car and heard on the radio that "Marilyn died of an overdose of barbiturates that she administered herself" Snyder can not believe in suicide.

> Joe DiMaggio, qui est à San Francisco, apprend la nouvelle très tôt le matin. Il se rend immédiatement à Los Angeles, contacte son fils Joe Jr. qui se trouve au camp Pendleton, et se réfugie avec deux de ses amis dans la suite 1035 du Miramar Hotel. Il refuse de faire la moindre déclaration à la presse et reste enfermé dans sa chambre d'hôtel. Son ami Harry Hall racontera que Joe pleurait sans consulter les nombreux télégrammes reçus: "Il considérait Bobby Kennedy comme responsable de sa mort."
Personne ne réclame le corps de Marilyn et le coroner ne peut délivrer le corps qu'avec l'autorisation d'un membre de la famille: sa mère en est incapable, et sa demie-soeur Berniece, contactée par télégramme, donne sa permission à Joe DiMaggio de s'occuper des funérailles.
Joe DiMaggio, who is in San Francisco, heards the news early in the morning. He immediately goes to Los Angeles, contacts his son Joe Jr. who is at Camp Pendleton, and stays with two of his friends in the suite 1035 of the Miramar Hotel. He refuses to make any statement to the press and remains locked in his hotel room. His friend Harry Hall tells that Joe was crying without consulting the many telegrams he received: "He considered Bobby Kennedy as responsible for her death."
Nobody claims the body of Marilyn and the coroner may not issue a body with the authority of a member of the family: her mother is unable to act, and her half-sister Berniece, contacted by telegram, gives permission to Joe DiMaggio to arrange the funeral.

> Peter Lawford est chez lui à L.A. Il est en état de choc, hagard, en larmes, terrassé, répétant sans cesse qu'il était la dernière personne à avoir parlé à Marilyn (au téléphone). Sa mère, Lady May, surnommée "Lady L." le contacte par téléphone quand elle apprend la nouvelle, et elle reproche à son fils de ne pas être allé chez Marilyn, quand cette dernière appela Peter. Puis quand Rupert Allan téléphone à Lawford, il a au bout du fil un homme hors de lui, furieux, aux propos incompréhensibles, entrecoupés de sanglots.
Peter Lawford is at his home L.A. He is in shock, distraught, in tears, overwhelmed, constantly repeating that he was the last person to have spoken to Marilyn (on the phone). His mother, Lady May, named "Lady L." calls him when she heards the news, and she blames her son to don't have gone to Marilyn's home, when she called Peter. Then, when Rupert Allan phone Lawford, he has on the phone a man out of him, furious, with incomprehensible words, interspersed with sobs.

> Dans la propriété des Kennedy sur la côte Est où la famille est réunie autour de la piscine, la nouvelle de la mort de Marilyn passe à la radio: ce fut le silence total. Pat Kennedy Lawford s'effondre en larmes.
In the property of the Kennedys on the East Coast where the family gathered around the pool, the news of the death of Marilyn is broadcoast on the radio: it was a full silence. Pat Kennedy Lawford collapses in tears.

> A peine à 6 km de chez Marilyn, Jayne Mansfield apprend la nouvelle chez elle dans sa maison du Pink Palace; elle devient hystérique et pleure beaucoup, serrant son assistant Ray Strait: "Je suis peut être la prochaine sur la liste." (Jayne était aussi la maîtresse des frères Kennedy).
At Just 6 km from Marilyn's home, Jayne Mansfield heards the news at her Pink Palace home; she becomes hysterical and crying a lot, shaking his assistant Ray Strait: "I may be next on the list." (Jayne was also the mistress of the Kennedy brothers).


> à 7h30: Les hommes du coroner, accompagnés de Guy Hockett (propriétaire du Westwood Memorial Park Cemetery), emportent le corps de Marilyn, dissimulé sous une couverture bleue ordinaire, sur un chariot, et le chargent à bord d'un vieux break, qu'ils conduisent au dépôt mortuaire de Westwood Village, où sa dépouille reste quelques heures dans un réduit encombré de brosses et de bocaux où le photographe Bud Gray du "Herald Examiner" fait un cliché de sa dépouille enveloppée. 
At 7.30 am: Coroner's men, accompanied by Guy Hockett (owner of Westwood Memorial Park Cemetery) outweigh Marilyn's body, hidden under an ordinary blue blanket on a cart, and charge her on an old break that they drive to the mortuary Westwood Village, where she remains few hours in a small room crowded by brushes and jars.

 > Marilyn est ensuite transportée dans la case 33 de la County Morgue, au palais de justice de Los Angeles. Son numéro de dossier du coroner est le 81128.
Un photographe parvient à s'introduire dans la morgue: Leigh Wiener, qui enverra ses photographies au magazine Life, parvient à prendre de nombreux clichés en échange de bouteilles de whisky offertes aux employés: un employé ouvre la porte en acier inoxydable et tire l'étagère coulissante où repose la dépouille de Marilyn. Wiener la mitraille, couverte et découverte (il aurait pris 6 clichés de Marilyn morte).
Marilyn is then transported in box 33 of the County Morgue of Los Angeles. Her coroner file number is 81128.
Two photographers manage to get into the mortuary: Bud Gray of "Herald Examiner" takes a snapshot of his body wrapped; and Leigh Wiener, who will send his photographs to "Life" magazine, manages to take many pictures in exchange for whiskey bottles offered to employees: an employee opens the stainless steel door and pulls the sliding shelf where the body of Marilyn remains. Wiener shoots pictures of Marilyn with covered and uncovered (he would take 6 shots of Marilyn dead).

Around 11 am: the first police report is established (then completed the next day).
(> Lire le rapport de police < read the police report)


> à 11h, Ralph Greenson et Milton Rudin font monter Pat Newcomb dans la voiture d'Eunice Murray; les reporters se précipitent devant la voiture dans la petite impasse et un journaliste de NBC News demande à Pat comment elle se sent, ce à quoi, elle lui répond, en larmes: "Si votre meilleur ami venait de se tuer, qu'éprouveriez-vous ? que feriez-vous ?".
A ce moment là, la maison était remplie de monde: les policiers, Arthur Jacobs, trois gardes du service de sécurité de la Fox envoyés par Peter Levathes, le technicien du General Telephone (qui coupera les lignes le jour même), les journalistes James Bacon et James A. Hudson de United Press International, mais aussi quatre hommes en noir (dont certains pensent qu'il pourrait s'agir d'agents du FBI ou de la CIA). 
At 11 am, Ralph Greenson and Milton Rudin drive up Pat Newcomb in Eunice Murray's car; reporters rushed to the car and an NBC News reporter asks to Pat how she feels, and she replied in tears: "If your best friend just came to kill, how would you feel ? What would you do ?".
At that time, the house was full of people: policemen, Arthur Jacobs, three guards of the security service of the Fox sent by Peter Levathes, the General Telephone technician (who cut the lines the same day), journalists as James Bacon and James A. Hudson of United Press International, but also four men in black (some people think it might be men from FBI or CIA).

> peu avant 12h00: Hazel Washington (femme de chambre de Marilyn) et son mari Rocky (policier de Los Angeles) arrivent à la maison pour récupérer des tables et chaises prêtées à Marilyn en février, car la maison serait ensuite fermée. Mrs Washington va remarquer un des hommes en noir brûler des documents dans la cheminée: des blocs-notes de Marilyn, des papiers de la Fox, des pages d'agenda, des bandes de magnétophones. Les serrures de classeur avait été forcées et les tiroirs vidés.
Avant de partir, Mrs Washington remarque que les gardes du studio de la Fox avaient investi toute la maison et de voir Frank Neill et trois autres attachés à la publicité de s'emparer de tous les documents relatifs à la Fox (notamment le nouveau contrat de négociation et de réintégration de Marilyn à la Fox avec la reprise du tournage de Something's got to give ont disparu).
Les hommes en noir ont même vérifié le contenu de la voiture de Hazel et Rocky avant leur départ.
Cependant, ces allégations affirmant que des papiers ont été détruits ont été formellement démenties par les officiers de police présents sur les lieux toute la journée. Néanmoins, il est indiscutable que des personnes sont parvenues à emporter des documents, tel que le confirme l'auteur Donald Spoto qui consultera des papiers acquis lors de la succession d'Inez Melson.
shortly before 12.00 am: Hazel Washington (Marilyn's maid) and husband Rocky (Los Angeles' policeman) arrive at Marilyn's home to retrieve tables and chairs lent to Marilyn in February, as the house would then be closed.

Men in black have even checked the content of the car of Hazel and Rocky before they leave.
However, these allegations stating that the papers were destroyed, have been formally denied by the police officers who were present all the day.

Les réactions des proches de Marilyn recueillies par les journalistes:

  • James Dougherty: "Je suis atterré". Quand son collègue Jack Clemmons lui apprend la nouvelle, Dougherty se tourne vers sa femme et lui dit: "Fais une prière pour Norma Jeane. Elle est morte."
  • Arthur Miller, à Paris avec sa nouvelle femme Inge Morath, refuse de s'exprimer publiquement, sans doute étant trop bouleversé. A l'un de ses proches, il aurait dit: "Il fallait bien que ça arrive. Je ne savais ni quand, ni comment, mais c'était inévitable."
  • Isadore Miller (père d'Arthur): "Elle était comme ma propre fille. Elle était une fille gentille et bonne. Je suis tellement désolé, je n'étais pas là pour être avec elle. Elle a du se sentir vraiment seule et effrayée."
  • Billy Wilder, interviewé à sa descente d'avion par des journalistes qui ne le tiennent pas au courant, ne dit que des banalités sur Marilyn. Il apprendra la nouvelle dans le taxi qui l'amenait à l'hôtel.
  • Joshua Logan: "Marilyn était l'une des personnes les plus sous-estimées de la terre !"
  • Paula Strasberg: "Marilyn était une actrice comme il n'en existe aucune autre."
  • Milton et Amy Greene sont à Paris et apprennent la nouvelle par téléphone à leur hôtel. Ils sont bouleversés (avant leur départ, après un mauvais pressentiment, Amy avait incité Milton à contacter Marilyn, qui semblait heureuse et leur avait assurer que tout allait bien).
  • Frank Sinatra se dit "profondément affligé (...) Elle va beaucoup me manquer." George Jacobs, son domestique, racontera que "Il demeura dans une sorte d'état de choc pendant des semaines après la mort de Marilyn, profondément angoissé."
  • Kay Gable (veuve de Clark Gable) apprend la nouvelle au flash d'information à 7 heures: "Je suis allée à la messe, j'ai prié pour elle."
  • La famille Greenson se dit "accablée de chagrin". Le Dr. Greenson rencontre DiMaggio et les deux hommes se serrent dans les bras, se consolant l'un et l'autre.
  • Peter Lawford: "Pat et moi l'aimions profondément. C'est probablement l'un des êtres humains les plus merveilleux et les plus chaleureux que j'ai connus. Tout ce que je pourrais dire d'autre serait superflu."
  • L'Osservatore Romano du Vatican: "Elle a été la victime d'une mentalité et d'un mode de vie dont on l'a forcée à être le symbole. Sa mort transcende les limites d'une tragédie personnelle pour atteindre un retentissement universel."

Lot 488 MARILYN MONROE ARCHIVE OF PHOTOGRAPHS BY JOSEPH JASGUR
 An archive of photographs of Marilyn Monroe taken by Joseph Jasgur in 1946. The photographs were taken of a 19-year-old Norma Jeane Dougherty, before she was Marilyn Monroe. Taken in Los Angeles for Blue Book Modeling Agency, these photographs comprise one of Monroe’s first modeling portfolios. It was this portfolio she presented to Ben Lyon, the casting director at 20th Century Fox who signed her to the studio and shortly after changed her name. Jasgur’s images of Norma Jeane Dougherty mark the beginning of her career and offer us a unique glimpse of Marilyn Monroe, before she was Marilyn.
All prints in this lot are from these early photoshoots and are directly from the estate of Joseph Jasgur. Included in the archive are approximately 400 color and black and white later prints, size 11 by 14 inches; approximately 120 black and white gelatin silver prints, size 8 by 10 inches; approximately 10 black and white gelatin silver prints, size 11 by 14 inches; some oversize prints, contact prints, and a wooden camera tripod used by Jasgur.
