An Original Vintage Uncut Sheet of 6 Sets of USPS First Day of Issue Legends of Hollywood Stamps (measures 17 3/4" x 22"; see below) (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 is an uncut sheet of six sets of Marilyn Monroe commemorative stamps that was issued by the Post Office in 1995 as part of their "Legends of Hollywood" series. But what makes this extra special is that not only are all six sets unperforated and together, but much more importantly, all were postmarked on the first day of issue at the Universal Studios Post Office in Universal City, California! See our image for the location of the postmarks. We have ply auctioned these cool sheets twice, and the last time was in 2016 and it sold for $401! Condition: very good to fine. The uncut stamp sheet is in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
