Description

Rare and unique 1955 Marilyn candid

Desirable vintage glossy 3.5 x 2.5 candid deckle-edge photo of Monroe smiling from an automobile window, signed in the left border in black ink. Reverse bears a collector’s date notation of October 5, 1955. In very good to fine condition, with light creasing. Determined to control her own career, Monroe left Hollywood for New York and formed her own independent film production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions in 1955, with the smashing success of The Seven Year Itch earning Marilyn and her company a new measure of respectability. Monroe finalized her divorce from Joe DiMaggio in October of that year, and soon became an exclusive item with playwright Arthur Miller, marrying him in June of the following year. A notably playful shot of the vivacious leading lady. From the Harvey and Rhoda Kuflik Collection. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
