MARILYN MONROE IN BLACK NÉGLIGÉE (ca. 1952) Photo by Gene Kornman – 2

[Los Angeles: Twentieth Century Fox, ca. 1953]. Vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white glossy silver gelatin keybook photo. Photo is mounted on linen and includes an ink stamp at center bottom white margin which states “NEGATIVE AT STUDIO”. Near fine.

Close-up of Marilyn wearing a black lace négligée is most likely for publicizing her work in the 1953 Don’t Bother to Knock, directed by Roy Ward Baker. Gene Kornman is likely the photographer.

Photo is coded 999/S/321.
