Auction History Result 5b0464 MARILYN MONROE 11x14 magazine ad 1953 cross promo for shampoo & Gentlemen Prefer Blondes! Date Sold 9/26/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Magazine Ad (measures 10 1/2" x 14" [27 x 36 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 that we don't recall ever seeing this ad before and we didn't know that 20th Century-Fox used Monroe's image to sell Lustre-Creme while also promoting Gentlemen Prefer Blondes! Also note that this ad was removed from a movie magazine that was printed when this movie first came out. There is printing on the reverse side of the ad, but we don't picture it, because it is surely of little interest. But this ad can be matted or framed for little money and makes a great inexpensive display! Condition: good to very good. The page was removed from a magazine. Learn More about condition grades
