Choice Marilyn Monroe Productions, Inc. business check, 8.25 x 3, filled out in type and signed by Monroe, "Marilyn Monroe," payable to May Reis for $70, January 22, 1960. In very fine condition.
Monroe met Milton Greene in September 1953 when the latter was a photographer on assignment for Look magazine, and the two quickly became friends. Spurred by Monroe's desire to have more control over her career, the pair formed an independent film production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, in 1955. After making Bus Stop in 1956, the Prince and the Showgirl was the company's second project. However, Monroe's cordial relationship with Greene soon dissolved, and Marilyn Monroe Productions folded after making only two films. May Reis was Monroe's personal secretary and trusted confidante, working with the actress from about 1956 to 1962.
