    Description

    This is a beautiful 1950's clear lined cosmetic bag that was owned and Used By Actress Marilyn Monroe. The bag is in beautiful condition. Winner will receive a Personal letter that has been signed by Mr. Guilaroff dated in 1994 stating how he came to own this item that belonged to Ms. Monroe. The letter has been signature stamped and witnessed by a Notary Public.
    Guilaroff styled the hair of Marilyn Monroe for her first important screen- test, and was her friend and confidant throughout the rest of her life. He worked on her last film, The Misfits (1961). "She was wonderful in that. She did the film to please Arthur Miller, yet he was having an affair - this made poor Marilyn very unhappy."
    My late son met and bought a number of items personally from Mr. Guilaroff's collection. I am selling all of my late son's collection to pay for his end of life/estate expenses. I am 93 years old and really don't know very much about this industry, other than what I have written here. I am not looking to get rich from his items just recoup his original investment.
