Auction History Result 2z616 MARILYN MONROE 8.25x10.25 key book still '40s having her hair set in the Gilda fashion! Date Sold 11/9/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10 1/4" [21 x 26 cm] Movie Key Book Still (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 this wonderful still (which is a "key book" still on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock that originally had an extra 1" at the top) shows Marilyn Monroe at the beginning of her career, appearing in a hair style show in 1948, where her hair is set in the "Gilda" fashion (styled in a series of wide waves with the ends rolled into a full "page-boy"). Given that it is a key book still, we would think it is surely from one of her first notable roles (perhaps in the very late 1940s or possibly 1950, with Asphalt Jungle), and that it was made to show her origins. It has a still code number at the bottom "D-G.P. 2396", but we don't know what movie that connects to (if any). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. This was a key book still that had its extra 1" at the top trimmed off (see above). There is pen writing in the bottom blank border. There are faint creases and scuffs around the edges of the still, but they are only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
