Marilyn Monroe signed Golden Dreams 1955 Calendar Photograph. Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926–August 4, 1962). It was 1949, then as now, countless thousands of young actresses in Hollywood were unemployed. Marilyn Monroe, at this time just one of many, had found herself unemployed and with the proverbial wolf knocking on her door. Marilyn had already turned down several offers by a photographer she knew named Tom Kelley. But now it was May 27, 1949 (just five days shy of her 23rd birthday) and Marilyn desperately needed $50.00 (about $460 today) to make a payment on her car. So, she finally agreed and reported to Kelley’s studio at the appointed time. The photo shoot lasted two hours. Countless shots were taken, but only two were to ever be used or have any lasting importance. “A New Wrinkle” showed Marilyn sprawled out, lying on her side. (This shot was to grace a Baumgarth company calendar.) The other (soon to be world famous) shot was dubbed “Golden Dreams.” This item has been professionally custom matted and framed and comes with a letter of authenticity issued by Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators along with the GFA guarantee of authenticity.
