An Unfolded 1952 Commercial Poster (made to be sold directly to the public; measures 21 1/2" x 62" [55 x 157 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). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that this poster (along with posters of other sex symbols of the era) was advertised in a 1952 issue of Popular Mechanics, and was available in a red and blue style. We have found information that the advertisement was also shown in a 1953 issue of Popular Science. Condition: good to very good. The poster has a few creases and tiny tears along portions of some edges and there are two slightly larger tears in portions of the upper edge. There is some slight discoloration to the right of Monroe's face at upper right. Overall, it has survived in pretty nice condition given its age and should display well from a reasonable viewing distance. Learn More about condition grades
