Marilyn Monroe Signed Check from Her Short-Lived Production Company - PSA NM-MT 8

Description

Rare signed 1958 check from Marilyn Monroe's short-lived production company

Marilyn Monroe Productions, Inc. business check, 8.25 x 3, filled out in type and signed by Marilyn Monroe, payable to New York Telephone Company for $69.37, June 30, 1958. In fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as "NM-MT 8."

Monroe first 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.
