An Original Vintage Unfolded Special Poster (measures 20" x 28" [51 x 71 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). Artist: Richard Avedon Important Added Info: Note that this poster is dated 1958 at bottom and it reads "First Edition" in the right of the bottom edge but please bid knowing that this poster was one of a set of five and they were distributed by Andrew Grenshaw sometime in the mid-1980s (probably 1983). UPDATED 04/15/2012: Note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that these images were originally featured in the December 22nd, 1958 edition of Life magazine where Marilyn was photographed as sex symbols of the past such as Marlene Dietrich, Lillian Russell, Theda Bara, Jean Harlow, and Clara Bow Condition: very good. There are minor creases around the edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well. Learn More about condition grades
