Marilyn Monroe’s Private Keepsakes — From ‘Seven-Year Itch’ Dress to Her Lipstick — For Sale
From March 28 to March 30, Julien's Auctions will host a multi-day event in Los Angeles auctioning off several of Monroe's items
Marilyn Monroe's film wardrobe, props and accessories are heading to the auction block. From March 28 to March 30, Julien's Auctions will host a multi-day event in Los Angeles auctioning off several of Monroe's items, including a black evening gown from The Seven Year Itch, which the actress wore in a dream sequence.
The William Travilla-designed garment is estimated to sell between $100,000-$200,000.
Fans of the actress can also bid on a costume she wore for the 1958 issue of Life magazine, a pink Pucci long-sleeved dress from her personal collection and her floret styled brooch.
Also up for sale is a tube of Marilyn Monroe’s custom shade of Elizabeth Arden lipstick, with a typewritten label that reads "Orange Pink like Miss I./ sample 05022/ May 2nd, 1960." It's estimated to go for $7,000-$9,000.
Film fans can snag Monroe's annotated script of The Misfits, the actress's last completed film before her death, and her handwritten Actor’s Studios notes.
Previous items from Monroe's personal collection have pulled in considerably hefty sums. When Christie's put together an auction of the actress's wardrobe and film props, the sales total exceeded $13 million.
