c.1961 Type I original publicity photo of iconic blonde bombshell, Marilyn Monroe. Monroe is posed in a studio, playfully addressing someone out of frame while a 20th Century Fox photographer snaps her for this 8" x 10" portrait. Gentle toning along the left edge with general handling wear apparent to the extreme bottom corners that does not impact central image. Verso remains blank. This image served as the source material for Marily Monroe's 1964 Dutch Gum #132 Card. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type 1 photo by PSA/DNA.
