WOW. That is the only words I have so far for this book. It arrived today and I am in awe of it's sheer size. A better review will be coming but in the meantime I think it is safe to say that this is a MUST have book for the Marilyn fan. Milton's photos are some of the best ever taken of Marilyn.<br />

Like many fans, Greene's photos are some of my absolute favourite and this book is to feature 400 photos and 50 sessions. It will be a must-have for Marilyn collectors. It is set to be released in September but you can pre-order right now through Amazon. It retails for $65.<br />
<br />
Pre-order now below and receive it as soon as it is released!<br />

The historic dress Marilyn wore when she sang Happy Birthday to John F Kennedy on May 19, 1962 was put on the auction block last night at Juliens.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It sold for a staggering price of 4.18 million dollars. However, the big news is not the price but by who bought it. Ripleys was announced as the winner immediately. They went on to tell the press that they purchased numerous items in the auction related to the dress and they will be opening an exhibit at their museum in LA. Ripleys has locations all of the world and the exhibit could travel to all of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is the best possible outcome for Marilyn fans. Instead of having the dress hidden away by a private collector for another 17 years - it will be shown to the public!<br />
<br />
The Marilyn auction continues today and runs through Nov 19. </div>

Finally the day is here. Juliens Auctions has released the online catalogue for their November Marilyn Monroe auction. The set includes 4 volumes in a boxset and retails for $300!! Viewing and saving the PDF is a less expensive option for fans.<br />
<br />

It was called the sale of the century. Nothing has come close to the Christies auction of Marilyn's personal belongings back in October 1999. Nothing that is until now....<br />
<br />
Juliens Auctions is holding a Marilyn only auction starting November 17, 2016. This has turned out to be the largest offering of Marilyn owned items since Christies. I doubt we will ever see an auction like this again. The auction catalogue itself will be a collectable in its own right. <br />
<br />
The highlight of the auction is sure to be the Happy Birthday Mr. President dress Marilyn wore while singing to JFK. This dress originally sold at Christies and has not been publicly seen since. The dress will be on exhibit in New Jersey, Ireland and LA.<br />
<br />
If anyone is thinking about bidding in the upcoming Julien's auction
(and if you ever wanted to own something of Marilyn's then you should be
bidding!!) I highly recommend that you do it over the phone and NOT
online. I bid on a previous Juliens auction using the phone method. They
call you a couple of lots before the one you want comes up. The
important part of this is that if you bid online you are charged an
additional 3% buyers premium!!! You will save money doing it over the
phone. Be aware you have to pay a 25% buyer premium no matter which method you choose but if online it becomes 28%.<br />
<br />
Good luck everyone!<br />

Just wanted to give everyone a head's up that the top ten archived episodes of the My Marilyn Podcast will no longer be available online as of May 1, 2016.<br />
<br />
If you want to download any of them please do so now at <a href="http://mymarilyn.libsyn.com/page">http://mymarilyn.libsyn.com/page</a><br />
<br />
Since I don't anticipate continuing with a podcast anytime soon I have decided that it is just not worth paying for the additional hosting of these files. I may put them up on youtube as a free option in the future but this will be the last way to actually download the files.<br />
<br />

In honour of Marilyn's upcoming 90th birthday, big band leader Ray Anthony has released a short film about his time with her. As fans know Ray wrote a song called "Marilyn" and threw a party for her in 1952. This event featured some of the most beautiful footage and photos of Marilyn.<br />
<br />
You can watch the film on Ray's website <a href="http://marilynandi.com/" target="_blank">http://marilynandi.com/</a>Melindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03051839263414392220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648047520581807152.post-21785771876543995292016-02-28T08:34:00.000-08:002016-02-28T08:34:25.085-08:00Marilyn and the Oscars<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Although there is no more enduring Hollywood star or icon of the film
industry than Marilyn, she never received an Academy Award in
recognition of her talent, either in her own lifetime or posthumously.
Recognition was more forthcoming from other countries (France and
Italy) than from her own.<br />
<br />
The closest Marilyn ever got to an Oscar was in 1951, a year before
she had graduated to top-star billing, when she went to the Pantages
Theater (6233 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood) to present the Best
Achievement in Sound Oscar to Thomas Moulton for his work in ALL ABOUT
EVE (1950). For the occasion she looked resplendent in a
off-the-shoulder gown borrowed from the Fox wardrobe department. There
was drama just before she was due to go on stage, when she noticed a
small rip in the dress. A bevy of Fox handlers had to fix the rip ad
calm her nerves sufficiently for her to conquer her stage fright.<br />
<br />
The closest Marilyn came to winning on her own merits was rumors of a
Best Actress nomination for her performance in BUS STOP (1956), and
then two years later for SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959). On neither occasion
did the nomination materialize; the Oscars going in 1956 to Ingrid
Bergman (Anastasia) and in 1959 to Simone Signoret (Room at the Top).
Her co-star Don Murray was nominated for his role in BUS STOP. On two
separate occasions, film columists have suggested giving Marilyn a
special posthumous career Oscar, first in 1963, then ten years later.<br />

<br />
Footage does exist from Marilyn's appearance at the Oscars!<br />

I thought I would share some excerpts from this amazing letter that was auctioned off by Juliens in December 2014 for $78,000. Joe was such a private person and never spoke of Marilyn so it is rare to get insight into his personal feelings.<br />

A Joe DiMaggio three-page handwritten letter to Marilyn Monroe postmarked October 9, 1954. DiMaggio dates the letter as "Saturday - a.m." and greets Marilyn "Dear Baby." The letter came to Marilyn on the heels of her October 6th announcement to the press that she and DiMaggio were divorcing. In the letter DiMaggio discusses watching the announcement. The letter reads in part, "Don't know what you're thoughts are about me, - but I can tell you I love you sincerely, - way deep in my heart, irregardless of anything." Accompanied by original transmittal envelope addressed to the house the couple shared in Beverly Hills, California.<br />
<br />
"I love you and want to be with you."<br />
<br />
"There is nothing I would like better than to restore your confidence in me."<br />

Love this. Found this tissue holder that features Marilyn from the Seven Year Itch on amazon.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, they only ship to the US so it took awhile for me to figure out a way to get it to me. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. It is a sturdy plastic and the image on the front looks good.<br />
<br />
The fun part about this is that the way the tissue comes out the top looks like it is her dress blowing in the breeze from the subway.<br />

Items that belonged to Marilyn and originated from the Christie's auction went for below the estimates. Many lots remained unsold because they did not reach the reserve.<br />
<br />
Yet items that should not have sold for much went for insane amounts...<br />
