This 1951 photo of Marilyn in her favourite Oleg Cassini dress is one of several rare, unseen pictures featured in the upcoming Hollywood Auction 65, to be hosted by Profiles in History from October 17-19.
Also featured are candid photos of Marilyn with Joe DiMaggio while on location for River of No Return in Canada; outtakes from Joseph Jasgur; and many other rarities, including publicity shots and photos during taken during her Korea tour.
UPDATE: The biggest sellers among the Marilyn-related lots were Marilyn’s hand-annotated screenplay for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and a Ceil Chapman cocktail dress owned by Marilyn (fetching $40,000 each), followed by a Jean Louis sketch for Marilyn’s ‘cherry dress’ in The Misfits (at $19,000.)
