Description

MEDICATING MARILYN: The fabled actress purchases two prescriptions just months before her death

Carbon-copy receipt from the Prescription Center on Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, 4 x 6, April 12, 1962, bearing Monroe’s home address (in another hand) and her carbon “signature.” The receipt documents two unspecified prescriptions at $5.50 each, as well as Q-Tips at $.98. Staple and filing holes to top margin and expected slight irregularity to Marilyn’s name, otherwise fine condition. A most interesting drug-related association, particularly in light of Marilyn’s still-controversial death less than four months later. R&R COA.
