Monroe wears 'The Moon of Baroda' diamond for the Gentlemen Prefer Blondes press tour

Original vintage glossy 8 x 10 Twentieth Century-Fox publicity photo of Marilyn Monroe for the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, which shows the gorgeous actress wearing the fabled 24-carat Moon of Baroda, which is believed to be the largest diamond that Monroe was ever known to have worn. The reverse bears a Movie Still Archives label. In fine condition, with a mark and ink notations to borders, and a few trivial creases. Encapsulated by PSA as an authentic 'Type I' photograph.

The Marc and Mary Perkins Collection.
