Description
A Marilyn Monroe and Truman Capote Rare Black and White Photograph, Circa 1955. An original print with a matte finish, depicting the star as she's kicking up one leg (so her black high heel can be seen) standing next to the writer as a second man's back is facing the camera; unfortunately, it's a somewhat blurry and shadowed shot but it's quite rare as there are only a couple of other known photographs of Monroe with Capote -- the author who wrote a famous reminiscence about her titled "A Beautiful Child" which ended up as a chapter in his celebrated work "Music for Chameleons;'" verso has some yellow paste residue on the top margin and a red ink handwritten annotation reading "Marilyn Monroe / Truman Capote;" photo was taken by Jess Rand [a longtime Hollywood press agent and personal manager from the late 1940s to the 1990s] who was also an amateur photographer and who ran in the same extended Los Angeles-New York circles as MM with friends in common such as Milton Greene and Sammy Davis, Jr.; from The Estate of Jess Rand. (Please note there were slight scratches on the negative when this print was made, and the photo exhibits creasing at the top corners.)9 1/4" x 7 1/2"

The movie quite literally changed my life. I have included a pic of me in Sly's Rocky 3 Cashmere overcoat, would much appreciate if it is possible for you to forward this email to Sly to let him know the overcoat is in good hands, and will be well taken care of, (as will be the Rambo knife forging tools, the other lot I won!) Wish you very happy holidays and a great 2016!View More Testimonials
