An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Special Calendar Poster (measures 16" x 34") (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). Important Added Info: Note that this poster is a genuine salesman sample of the most famous Marilyn Monroe Golden Dreams calendar. Attached in the upper left is the original letter from the company who made the calendar (Champion Line), which reads (at the start), "Yes, this is an actual color photograph of the present star of the movies who has been receiving such tremendous publicity. Thousands of people are interested in a nude picture of Marilyn Monroe. Besides, it is a beauty." It continues with a newspaper article about Monroe, and concludes, "This is only one of two nude pictures posed by Marilyn Monroe before she signed up with the movies. There will be no more nude pictures of Marilyn Monroe." There are a huge number of supposed genuine Golden Dreams calendars which were actually printed much later (probably in the 1960s or 1970s). This is an authentic genuine ORIGINAL calendar salesman sample from the first time the calendar was made! Condition: good. many light creases throughout the printed area; the solid plastic that holds the calendar in place at top and bottom is in good condition but is separating at the bottom on the left 3" Learn More about condition grades
