An Autographed Limited Edition Art Print (measures 23" x 30" [58 x 76 cm]; #236/325) (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: George Barris Important Added Info: Note that this art print has been personally autographed (signed) by photographer George Barris and hand-numbered 236/325! George Barris first worked with Marilyn Monroe in 1954, when he photographed her on the set of The Seven Year Itch in New York City. In 1962, he photographed her again at Santa Monica Beach and in the Hollywood Hills, and this series of photos became known as "The Last Photos", because they were intended for a book called "Marilyn: Her Life In Her Own Words", but she passed away before the book was completed, and these were the last pictures taken of her. This particular print ("Always Yours") was created by Mr. Barris in 1982, 20 years after it was originally taken, and he created an edition of 325 and signed and numbered each of them! Condition: fair. It appears the print was framed and faded due to exposure to sunlight, and that it also (either while framed or while being removed from the frame) acquired many scratches and scuffs scattered down the right half of the print and in the bottom, with several in Monroe's face and clothes. Someone performed slight restoration to that. It is not very noticeable when it is looked at head on, but it is very noticeable when the print is tilted to the light, so bear this defect in mind before placing a bid. Also, the print was framed and there is a thin strip of white archival tape on the back of the top and bottom blank borders and slight staining in the left and right of the top blank borders (see our image).
