In the summer of 1952, Marilyn Monroe resided at The Beverly Hills Hotel. In the accompanying letter of provenance, the original owner of the autographs shares the story of how they were obtained: "In 1952, during my summer vacation?[we] stayed at The Beverly Hills Hotel. One morning, around 11:00 AM, we were having brunch when we observed Joe DiMaggio arriving with a beautiful blonde lady. The conversation at our table was 'Who is he with?' I remember Bettie saying 'Is that the Monroe woman?' Someone decided I could go over to Joe DiMaggio and ask him for his autograph?he graciously signed it and then said 'And would you like Miss Monroe?s?' I can?t remember my exact answer, but probably yes or thank you. I returned to the table and the mystery was solved?? In 1952, Marilyn was still a B-movie actress, so it's understandable that she was not immediately recognizable.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
