Marilyn Monroe Original Photo from Monkey Business!

Presented here is a stunning original Type I publicity photograph of Marilyn Monroe, captured circa 1952 at the dawn of her meteoric rise to superstardom. Taken by renowned Frank Powolny for 20th Century Fox in connection with the film Monkey Business, this image embodies the glamour, charisma, and screen presence that made Monroe an enduring cultural icon.

This original 8" x 10" photograph features period studio markings, including Monroe’s name and the year “1954” handwritten on the reverse—details that further anchor the piece firmly in its original era of use. The photo exhibits light creasing consistent with age and studio handling and remains in Very Good to Excellent overall condition. Authentic, early Type I images of Marilyn Monroe from her early-1950s studio years are increasingly scarce and seldom surface in high-quality examples such as this.

A true cornerstone piece for any serious Hollywood, film history, or Americana collection.

Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA as an original Type I photograph.
