About the Item
Estate stamped on certificate of authenticity
Photographer Sam Shaw became friends with Marilyn Monroe on the set of Elia Kazan’s film Viva Zapata! in 1950. She was largely unknown at the time and had tried, but failed, to get a part in the film – even though she was in a relationship with Kazan. They remained friends and Shaw continued to photograph her countless times and throughout both of her marriages to baseball player Joe DiMaggio and playwright Arthur Miller.
Shaw asked Marilyn to “improvise” the photograph on the New York park bench. “The young man sitting next to me was proposing marriage to her”, Marilyn told Shaw later. “The woman told him he’d have to give up gambling and stop working as a bookie.” After they finished, Marilyn introduced herself, asked them for permission to use the photos, and wished them the best of luck.

Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller
By Ken Heyman
Located in Toronto, ON
Hand Signed by Ken Heyman Born in New York City in 1930, Ken Heyman first became interested in photography in high school. Later, during his student days at Columbia College-which were interrupted by a two-year stint in the army-his skill as a photographer grew, but still regarded photography as no more than a hobby. Then two events in college helped to direct him toward his career in photography. First, he sent off selections of his work to two national photography annuals and was pleased, indeed surprised, when both indicated they were eager to print his pictures-and did. But perhaps more important was his becoming a student of the distinguished anthropologist Margaret Mead...

Marilyn Monroe & William Travilla - Press
Located in Cologne, DE
Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926 – August 4, 1962) was an American actress, model, and singer. Famous for playing comedic "blonde bombshell" characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s and was emblematic of the era's sexual revolution. She was a top-billed actress for only a decade, but her films grossed $200 million (equivalent to $2 billion in 2019) by the time of her death in 1962. Long after her death, she continues to be a major icon of pop culture. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Monroe sixth on its list of the greatest female screen legends from the Golden Age of Hollywood. (wikipedia) William Travilla...
