Description

Signed less than two weeks before she met JFK

Business check, 8.25 x 3, filled out in type and signed by Monroe, payable to Bankers Trust Company for $173.20, November 8, 1961. Corner-mounted, matted, and framed with a lovely photograph of the actress to an overall size of 15.25 x 21. In fine condition. Though she had no way of knowing, autumn 1961 would prove to be one of the most fateful periods in Marilyn's life. In October, she met Bobby Kennedy at a dinner given by Peter Lawford; on November 19, just days after signing this check, she met JFK, also at a dinner at Lawford's. An outstanding example with a beautiful, defect-free signature.
