Marilyn Monroe’s handwritten notes on how to act sexier are now in the hands of one lucky fan.
According to TMZ, two scripts from the unfinished 1962 film, which also starred Dean Martin, were put up for sale at Nate D. Sanders Auctions in Los Angeles.
The dress Marilyn Monroe wore to serenade President John F. Kennedy has sold for a record price at auction.
The “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress was sold at Julien’s Auctions in Los Angeles on Thursday night with the winning bid coming from museum Ripley’s Believe it or Not. It fetched $4.8 million (£3.87 million), well exceeding the $3 million (£2.4 million) guide price.
Marilyn Monroe’s estate has filed a lawsuit against the bosses of a lingerie company for using her image on their packaging.
The executors of the late actress’ estate claim an unnamed lingerie company are trying to profit off her fame by using an image of the sex symbol’s face on the packaging and tags of their products, which include lace panties and control underwear, according to TMZ.com.
The dress that Marilyn Monroe made history with when she sang Happy Birthday Mr President to John F Kennedy is expected to fetch as much as three million dollars at auction.
Julien’s Auctions is offering the sequined garment on 17 November in Los Angeles. The auction house believes it could fetch as much as $3m (£2.2m).
