Marilyn Monroe s personally annotated Seven Year Itch script offered at Heritage Auctions
Marilyn Monroe Personal Heavily Hand-Annotated Shooting Script for The Seven Year Itch (TCF, 1955).
DALLAS, TX
.- To the casual observer, Marilyn Monroe was the ultimate Hollywood bombshell, a hybrid of stunning good looks and an alluring personality that made her the standard by which all sex symbols were measured.
But thumbing through her annotated movie scripts reveals that she was far more than just a bundle of curves and charisma. She was a serious student of acting who took a very cerebral approach to her craft.
One such script (estimate: $120,000), from one of her most popular and important films, is available in Heritage Auctions Entertainment & Music Memorabilia Auction July 16-18. Monroes Personal Heavily Hand-Annotated Shooting Script for The Seven Year Itch (TCF, 1955) will afford its new owner much more than a review of the lines in the classic film.
Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Weekly and the beautiful
Holiday. Artists include Maxfield Parrish, Howard Chandler Christie, Charles Dana Gibson and even Alberto Vargas. The first American magazines appeared in 1741. By 1860 there were over a thousand titles in print, ballyhooing and cajoling Americans to repent, reform, learn, expand, and do everything faster and faster. The amazing energy of the United States is all here – educationalism, advertising, news, religion and quite a lot of hooey. As is pointed out in the excellent catalogue, magazines built American communities, and fashioned their mores and prejudices.
The deadly serious early journals have a grand, reserved, essentially European look: mournful engraved figures adorn their covers, as if weighed down by the awful information inside.
Before She Was Famous, Marilyn Monroe Was Paid Just $10 an Hour to Pose for Pin-up Artist Earl Moran in the Late 1940s
Marilyn Monroe posed for Earl Moran – Bus Stop. One of his most famous photo’s/paintings of Marilyn done in 1946, titled ‘Bus Stop’. It featured Marilyn in a cheesecake pose, standing next to a bus stop, with skates in her hand.
When Marilyn Monroe posed for Earl Moran in the first of their sessions that took place between 1946 and 1950, she was just 19 and an aspiring actress, while Moran had established himself as a leading illustrator of beautiful women; his work for magazines and calendars placed him in the company of Alberto Vargas and George Petty.
