arly ink signature, “Marilyn Monroe,” on an off-white 5 x 8 sheet bearing numerous other signatures. In very good condition, with partial edge separations to horizontal fold, some creasing and soiling, and another signature overlapping several letters of the Monroe signature. Pencil notations on the reverse date the signature to September 13, 1946, the very day Monroe was granted a divorce from her first husband James Dougherty. Only a few weeks prior, Norma Jean Dougherty signed with 20th Century Fox and changed her name to the pseudonym Marilyn Monroe, a combination of Broadway star Marilyn Miller and her mother’s maiden name. Given its early placement in her career, this autograph is one of the earliest instances in which Monroe signed with her now iconic screen name. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
