Marilyn Monroe Lock of Hair From the Collection of Harold Shigley in Exhibit Quality Framed Display W/Letter of Authenticity and More - This is a genuine lock of hair which was cut from Marilyn Monroe by her hairstylist Sydney Guilaroff. Guilaroff was a hair stylist during Hollywood's Golden Age who was the first to receive on-screen credit in films. He worked for more than forty years at the Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios on more than a thousand films, and was instrumental in crafting many of the hairstyles which became the signature looks for numerous film stars. The lock comes with several documents including a letter of authenticity from Ryan Mack of Griffin Memorabilia, which states in part, "I have removed pieces of Marilyn Monroe's hair from a lock originally obtained by her hairdresser, Sydney Guilaroff on the set of 'Something's Got to Give' on June 1, 1962." The lot also includes a copy of an original Certificate of Authenticity and Provenance from American collector Harold Shigley, whose collection contained iconic items such as an uncirculated $10,000 bill, burial ring of Leonardo da Vinci, nails from Jesse James' coffin, and the doorknocker from the home of Christopher Columbus, among others. Sydney Guilaroff and Harold Shigley were good friends, as is documented in the accompanying copies of correspondence from the stylist, and Shigley was given the lock of hair from Guilaroff during their more than 50 year friendship. The lock of hair has been professionally matted and framed in a wood and gilt frame along with a photo of the iconic starlette. Measurements: 17" x 21"
