Desirable vintage glossy 3.5 x 2.5 candid deckle-edge photo of Marilyn Monroe smiling from an automobile window, signed vertically in the left border in black ink. Reverse bears a collector's date notation of October 5, 1955. In fine condition, with a few small creases. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.
Determined to control her own career, Monroe left Hollywood for New York and formed her own independent film production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions in 1955, with the smashing success of The Seven Year Itch earning Marilyn and her company a new measure of respectability. Monroe finalized her divorce from Joe DiMaggio in October of that year, and soon became an exclusive item with playwright Arthur Miller, marrying him in June of the following year. A lovely shot of the vivacious leading lady flashing a bright smile. From the Harvey and Rhoda Kuflik Collection.
