Anyone here a major Marilyn Monroe expert?

[MK]

I need some input ASAP. If so let me know. Thanks.

What do you need input on?

 

[RondoHatton]

Counterfeit collection?

Recall that in the "news" here last fall or so that a large Monroe collection on display at the Queen Mary turned out to contain many "manufactured" items with no connection whatsoever to the supposed original owner.

I know some unusual facts and can call my ex-sister-in-law if it's something I don't know.

If its Sam Shaw related, I might be able to help.

Some is claiming to have never before published photos of her and are making a pitch for us to use them for Classic Style before letting out to image houses.

I need someone who is an expert in what photos have been published and can tell me how much cool factor is involved.

I have no useful input, but wouldn't that be awesome!

I suggest you contact Greg Schreiner at MM remembered fan club in LA. There has been so much trouble with that Queen Mary exhibit which is ending up with legal action being taken. Let me know if yoyu want to do this and I will PM you Gregs details

Are you speaking of the Eve Arnold photos?

She was a size 8.

I like a dame who's got something you can hold on to. I dated a size -0- model-type once. Good restaurants & all she eats is a lettuce leaf with a tomato slice, & a grape for desert.

It was like dating a concentration camp survivor.

I would agree with contacting the MM society. I've seen alot of photos (more then I care to admit, to be honest) but with the lawsuit pending, I would go that route and/or seek legal counsel.

A magazine with 4,801 editors! Not bad.

fftopic: This is not really what MK was looking for but this is my response to the post above.... Size 8 in vintage sizing would probabably be considered a 2 now a days so she did not actually have as much to hold onto as you think and FYI she always did stuff her bras also to make her look like she had much more than she really did have.

I had to do a little edit here May 22 7:14 pm.

I read that her size fluctuated. However, I don't believe she was a vintage 8. She was a very curvy lady.

Christies auction house said that when they auctioned off one of her dresses, they couldn't find a mannequin small enough to fit the dress. She was a lot smaller than people think.

I've always heard that she was a vintage size 12, but that's still quite small.

I believe she was a size 14 or 16 in vintage wear, which in todays standards put's her around a size 8 or 10. I am normaly a size 5 but in vintage I wear a size 12.
