Marilyn Monroe Memorabilia Sold For $60,000
Some candid video footage of Marilyn Monroe while she is on the movie set of her last movie was being sold at an auction of movie memorabilia. It sold for $60,000.
The two reels of silent, 8-millimeter color film shot on the set of “The Misfits” had been expected to draw starting bids of between $10,000 and $20,000. The auction also included the original disco ball from “Saturday Night Fever” and an original script of “The Godfather” signed by Marlon Brando. The sale was held by Julien’s Auctions at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.
The film shows actors preparing for scenes, chatting with crew members and others on the set, and relaxing between takes. Cathy and Rod McCormick, of Sparks, Nev., obtained the film canister from her father, Frank Hasy, Kilarr’s uncle.
