Auction History Result 9h288 MARILYN MONROE special 22x62 '50s incredible full-length sexy portrait in skimpy outfit! Date Sold 7/17/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Unfolded Special Poster (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 we have seen a different example of this door panel-like poster before, but it had different printer information than this poster, and it had different coloring. We would say that both of these posters surely date from the early 1950s. We don't know if they were created in conjunction with any movie, or how they were sold or distributed. We would say there is absolutely no chance they are any sort of reproduction or from later than the 1950s. If anyone knows more about either of these posters, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: fair to good. The poster has darkening and many dot stains on the back of the top 12", but on the front, it has dot stains to the left and right of Marilyn's figure, but not in her figure. It also has some darkening and dot stains in the bottom few inches of the poster, and a few dot stains scattered in the rest of the poster. The poster has a very unusual but significant defect. Apparently, someone thought they were clever by writing inscriptions in various posters on the poster (at the top of Marilyn's legs, on her belly, on her arm, and next to one of her legs). They are the kind of things teenage boys might write (see our image). Obviously, a restorer could paint over those areas, but bear that in mind before placing a bid on this poster.
