Marilyn Monroe's Personally Owned Asian Black Wool Coat W/Notarized Letter of Provenance - This vintage Asian black wool coat with silk trim and golden applique was personally owned by iconic American actress, Marilyn Monroe. The piece comes with a notarized letter of provenance from Marilyn Monroe's personal hairstylist Sydney Guilaroff, which states in part, "This 1950s black Asian wool blend long sleeve jacket with red and gold patch accents was left behind in my studio when she changed for an engagement at my salon when she flew in from New York." Sydney Guilaroff was a hair stylist during Hollywood's Golden Age who was the first to receive on-screen credit in films. He worked for more than forty years at the Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios on more than a thousand films, and was instrumental in crafting many of the hairstyles which became the signature looks for numerous film stars. Guilaroff was a friend and stylist to many Golden Age stars including Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, and Audrey Hepburn along with Marilyn Monroe, and styled Marilyn's hair for her funeral in 1962.
