c.1961 Type 1 original publicity photo of iconic blonde bombshell, Marilyn Monroe. Monroe is posed in a studio, playfully addressing someone out of frame as she's snapped by a 20th Century Fox photographer for this 8" x 10" portrait. Gentle toning mostly restricted to the left edge and general handling wear to the bottom corners that does not impact central image. Verso remains blank. This image served as the source material for Marilyn Monroe's c.1960's Dutch Gum #60 Card. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type 1 photo by PSA/DNA.
