Back in about 1987, I was a buyer for the collector’s store “Hollywood” located in world renown “Harajuku” in Tokyo. I made frequent buying trips to Hollywood, and purchases included the “Marilyn Monroe Collection”, which we bought from the estate of a collector extraordinaire. The set included a 1949 August 20th signed contract for modeling, and an original nude photograph from Marilyn’s 1952 calendar. There were Marilyn dolls, movie posters, and hundreds of magazines.
Among the autographs below are a few vintage photographs, and a handful of note pad autographs. All of these were purchased from reputable dealers or auction houses.
Enjoy!
