Marilyn Monroe Commemorative Portrait

Marilyn Monroe Commemorative Portrait - This lot features two striking photos of the screen legend Marilyn Monroe. The first, in full color, was captured when she was a brunette still known as Norma Jeane Baker, and the second was snapped once she's achieved superstardom as Marilyn Monroe. Born in Los Angeles, California on June 1, 1926, Marilyn Monroe began her career with modeling before transitioning into film in the late 1940s, quickly becoming one of the most famous sex symbols in history. Despite the blonde bombshell persona, Monroe achieved critical acclaim through her more serious performances towards the end of her life, with an enduring legacy that continues to captivate audiences the world over. This sealed lot is an officially licensed commemorative piece from O.S.P Publishing, and measures approximately 11 in x 14 in.
