Auction History Result 3p2052 MARILYN MONROE 5.5x8.25 news photo 1954 adorable portrait when she was baby Norma Jean Baker! Date Sold 1/17/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 5 1/2" x 8 1/4" [14 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 great news photo (which has been trimmed and now measures 5 1/2" x 8 1/4" [14 x 21 cm]) this is! It shows Marilyn Monroe when she was two years old and was used in a newspaper no later than January 15, 1954 (and may have been used earlier). We reference that date, because it has that date stamped on the back on the newspaper clipping that used this photo, and there is an additional date stamp from March 1, 1963, and of course, it might have first been used even earlier, but there is no way it could be from after 1954. We have never seen this particular image of Marilyn before, but she certainly was a beautiful baby! Condition: good. There are some creases and faint smudges scattered in the still, including some extremely tiny creases in the face, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light.
