An Original Vintage Display Calendar (measures 4 3/4" x 10") (Learn More) Marilyn Monroe is one of the greatest larger-than-life movie stars ever of the 1950s, and surely the greatest sex symbol of all time! She appeared in several memorable movies including: Some Like It Hot, The Prince & the Showgirl, All About Eve, The Asphalt Jungle, The Misfits, The Seven Year Itch, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Monkey Business, and Niagara. The last film that she worked on was Something's Got To Give in 1962. 20th Century Fox blamed Marilyn for the production being behind schedule, and fired her in June (the film was never completed). In August, she was found dead in her home from an apparent drug overdose, and her death was ruled a suicide (though there are theories that foul play was involved, and even in 2024, many people do not feel it was an "accidental" death). Artist: Earl Moran Important Added Info: Note that this really cool promotional calendar is from 1950, and it was created for a printing company by Brown & Bigelow (it had a partial calendar on the bottom and the printing company sent it to their customers). It has a die-cut image of a pretty girl "testing the waters", which is perforated, and demonstrates the kind of printing this company did. The art is by Earl Moran, and the model he used was Marilyn Monroe (but this is from before she became famous). This is from the time when she posed for Earl Moran in 1948 and 1949 (right before she became famous), and you can certainly tell that she was the model, and the art is fantastic! Condition: good to very good. Someone partially folded the item across the middle. It has also slightly darkened and there are a few smudges around the edges (see our images).
