Description

Make-up blotting sheet signed by Marilyn Monroe, obtained by a 10-year-old in an NYC Lord & Taylor

Pencil signature, "Marilyn Monroe,” on an off-white 3.5 x 2.5 sheet of make-up blotting paper. Beautifully cloth-matted and framed with a Milton Greene portrait to an overall size of 17.75 x 24. In fine condition. The consignor purchased this signature from the estate of the original recipient, who was only 10 years old when she met Marilyn Monroe. She recalled, ‘When Marilyn was living in New York, she went shopping one day at Lord & Taylor. Soon a large group of people formed around her at the make-up counter, asking questions and clamoring for an autograph. Marilyn saw me in the crowd and signed an autograph just for me before she left the department store.’
