Marilyn Monroe‘s love life is the stuff of legends. In addition to stealing the heart of the nation with her soft voice and bombshell looks, the Tinseltown starlet also won over a few rather famous men, including Joe Dimaggio, Arthur Miller, and even John F.
Kennedy. And now you can get your hands on a piece of her love story thanks to an auction taking place next month.RELATED: Now You Know: The Halter Then, Now, and Before Marilyn Made it Famous
Julien’s Auctions is auctioning off a lot of Marilyn Monroe’s personal items, including love letters from DiMaggio and Miller, photographs of herself that the actress kept, cards and gifts from her friends, prescriptions and notes from her doctors, and clothing. “We are all in awe of this opportunity to offer such a rare collection and glimpse into Marilyn Monroe’s life,” says Martin Nolan, Julien’s Auction’s executive director. “You can’t help but get emotional on several levels when you have the chance to read the letters and view some of the photographs and witness Marilyn’s own attempt at correspondence.”
