An Unfolded 1983 Commercial Poster (made to be sold directly to the public; measures 20" x 28" [51 x 71 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). Artist: Richard Avedon Important Added Info: Note that in 1958, Richard Avedon had a photo session with Marilyn Monroe where she dressed up as legendary movie stars (Clara Bow, Jean Harlow, Lillian Russell, Theda Bara, and Marlene Dietrich), and they were published in Life Magazine. 25 years later, Avedon created a series of 4 prints (Dietrich was not one of them, perhaps because she objected), and a number of them were sold at that time signed by Avedon. Condition: very good. The poster has a few light creases scattered in various areas, but they are not very noticeable or distracting, and otherwise it is in pretty nice condition.
