Description

Marilyn pays the gas allowance of her studio maid, Hazel Washington

Marilyn Monroe Productions, Inc., business check, 8.5 x 3, filled out in type and signed by Monroe, "Marilyn Monroe," payable to her studio maid, Hazel Washington, for $15, February 19, 1960, with a note that the payment is for a "Gas Allowance." In fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA. Spurred by her desire to have more control over her career, Monroe and business partner Milton Greene formed the independent film production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, in 1955. The studio made two films—Bus Stop in 1956, and The Prince and the Showgirl in 1957—but folded soon thereafter.
