An Original Vintage Calendar Sample (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Marilyn Monroe is one of the greatest larger-than-life movie stars ever of the 1950s, and surely the greatest sex symbol of all time! She appeared in several memorable movies including: Some Like It Hot, The Prince & the Showgirl, All About Eve, The Asphalt Jungle, The Misfits, The Seven Year Itch, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Monkey Business, and Niagara. The last film that she worked on was Something's Got To Give in 1962. 20th Century Fox blamed Marilyn for the production being behind schedule, and fired her in June (the film was never completed). In August, she was found dead in her home from an apparent drug overdose, and her death was ruled a suicide (though there are theories that foul play was involved, and even in 2024, many people do not feel it was an "accidental" death). Important Added Info: Note we think it incredibly likely that this calendar sample is from the late 1960s or 1970s commercial reproduction of the original 1950s calendar (many examples of that commercial reproduction, with the same background and the same date pad appeared in the hobby at that time, and it was claimed to be a "warehouse find", but we think more likely someone newly created it at that time). Given that this is in perfect condition, and does not show signs of being old enough to be original, we think it was created at the same time as the commercial reproductions described above. Please do not bid on it thinking it is from 1953, as we feel sure it is from around 15 to 20 years later (which means it is still around 40 years old or more). Note that there are many calendars with the classic Marilyn Monroe Golden Dreams nude image on them, and there are suspicions that many of them were created long after 1953 to 1956, when the originals were created. We feel certain that THIS calendar is indeed an original from that time! Also note that this calendar was often created in two different ways. One had the uncensored nude image of Marilyn, and the other had the same image, but "with lace overprint" (for places that were embarrassed to display the nude image). This auction is for an censored version. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
