A Framed Contact Print (frame measures 24" x 28" [61 x 71 cm]) (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: Tom Kelley
Important Added Info: Note that our consignor purchased this in the 1980s, so it is definitely at least that old! He was told at this time that this is "a contact print, made directly off Tom Kelly's original negative of Monroe's 'A New Wrinkle' nude calendar shot". This leaves open the possibility that the contact print could have been made in the 1950s or 1960s, or certainly it could have been made in the 1970s or 1980s. Our consignor is no longer with us to tell us any more about this item than what is written above, so do not bid on it unless you can accept the uncertainties as to its origins and date it was made. Our consignor had it nicely matted and framed. We can either ship it framed in a very large package or we could remove it from the frame and solely ship the contact print (which may be mounted, because we don't know, because we have not opened the back of the frame). Note that this item contains some nudity, so we have placed a white bar over those areas for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual item does not have the white bars.

UPDATED 01/03/2019: Note that we have updated the measurements.



Note that this item needs to be shipped in a box, which might be a fairly small box, or might be a very large box. What is important for the bidders to know is that this item likely CAN'T be combined with other purchases, because there would not be much savings if any, because this item will be in a box, while other purchases will be in a flat package, and trying to combine them would likely damage this item anyway. If you purchase multiple items like this (ones that need to be packed in a box), then they likely can be combined with each other (unless the resulting box is simply too large). So please bear in mind that this item must be sent separately in a box (the size of the box will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it.

Condition: good. Prior to being framed, the contact print was folded a number of times horizontally and it had some wear and tiny paper loss on those folds. Someone did some touch up with red to the tiny surface paper loss (see our image).
