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: Earl Moran Important Added Info: Note that this ink blotter was created before Marilyn Monroe became famous, and it is technically not of her. It is from when she posed for famous pin-up artist Earl Moran in 1947 (right before she became famous), and you can certainly tell that she was the model, and the art is fantastic! It is absolutely an original 1947 blotter (in case you were wondering, in the days of fountain pens, people kept a blotter, which was a piece of cardboard on their desk to soak up excess ink; you can tell if a blotter has been used or not by whether or not it has ink on the back!). Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
