Description

MM writes a check for water

Personal check, 6 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Monroe, payable to Sparkletts Drinking Water for $8.65, October 18, 1950. Her first “serious” role was in 1950 when she had a small but critical role in The Asphalt Jungle and received favorable reviews. She also had a small role in All About Eve that same year. Sparkletts was founded in Los Angeles, California in 1925. The brand is also the official bottled water of many well-known theme parks and attractions across Southern California. In very good condition, with usual cancellation holes and red bank stamps with stamp ink causing a splotchy appearance to a few letters of the first name, a couple of parts of the date somewhat blurred, pencil bank notations in another hand. PSA/DNA COA and R&R COA.
