Description

Original contact prints of Marilyn’s dance rehearsals for Let’s Make Love

Collection of 20 contact sheet proofs from original negatives of Marilyn Monroe during rehearsals of the 1960 film Let’s Make Love, some individual, and others in small two or three image strips. Most images show Monroe in a heavy cable-knit sweater, singing and dancing with a group of men in the background, with three images of Monroe, in a leotard, dancing with co-star Yves Montand. The collection originates from Margaret ‘Maggie’ Banks, assistant choreographer for the film, and includes two images of Banks at work during the rehearsals. In very good condition, with some scattered creases to several of the strips. RR Auction COA.
