Auction History Result 5x599 MARILYN MONROE 6.5x8.25 news photo 1948 in sexy swimsuit right after signing with Columbia! Date Sold 4/22/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 6 1/2" x 8 1/4" [17 x 21 cm] News Photo (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: What a wonderful news photo this is. It shows an incredibly happy Marilyn in a sexy swimsuit right after she signed her contract with Columbia. Note that there is a snipe that was attached to the bottom of the back of the still. Part of the snipe separated and someone taped that part to the back of the center of the still with two pieces of clear tape (see our image). Note that the snipe identifies the bathing suit Marilyn is wearing as a "classic one-piece bathing suit of satin lastex [sic] made by Cole of Calif." Note that "lastex" is not a spelling error! Lastex was a different material that was similar to latex, but which had rubber in it, making it ideal for swimsuits. The news photo measures 6 1/2" x 8 1/4" [17 x 21 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
