Description

A 1951 check to her beloved acting coach

Bank of America check, 5.75 x 2.5, filled out and signed by Monroe, made payable to Natasha Lytess for $130, November 6, 1951. Matted and framed with a large photo of Monroe performing for the troops in Korea to an overall size of 24 x 22.25. In fine condition, with a faint water stain to central portion. Lytess served as the head drama coach at Columbia Pictures at the time Monroe signed her first motion picture contract. The two developed a close relationship, and it wasn’t long before Lytess left her position to become Monroe’s full-time acting coach; the starlet reputedly refused to do a scene unless Lytess was present on set. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
