Description

Signing a check in the year of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Bank check, 6 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Monroe, payable to Thrifty Mart for $15.00, May 11, 1953. Monroe has made out the check in full, including her address at 882 N. Doheny Drive, where she lived until the following year. 1953 marked a busy and prosperous period in Marilyn’s career; both Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire were released, she made her first television appearance (on the Jack Benny Show), and she left her permanent mark on Hollywood, so to speak, by adding her handprints to those of her fellow superstars outside Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Accompanied by a full PSA/DNA letter of authenticity. Expected ink and punch cancellations (the latter touching first name), otherwise fine condition. PSA/DNA Auction LOA and RRAuction COA.
