Description

Bank of America check, 5.75 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Monroe, payable to Cash for $59.20, January 18, 1953. Reverse bears a Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation stamp. In fine condition, with expected bank stamps and cancellation holes (trivially affecting portions of the first name). Signed during her breakthrough period as one of Hollywood's most seductive actresses, this is a fantastic example of a Monroe check featuring much of her handwriting—with Monroe errantly writing "fifteen" instead of the requested $59 amount.
