Description

Marilyn signs a check in the year of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Check, 6.25 x 3, filled out and signed by Monroe (including her 882 North Doheny address and telephone number), payable to Yorkshire’s for $4.09, April 6, 1953. This was a busy and prosperous year in Marilyn’s career; both Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire were released, she made her first television appearance (on the Jack Benny Show), and she left her permanent mark on Hollywood, so to speak, by adding her handprints to those of her fellow superstars outside Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Red cancellation ink touching first name of signature, otherwise crisp, fine condition. PSA/DNA LOA and R&R COA.
