Marilyn Monroe is not just a Hollywood film star of the 1950s: over time, she has become a true cultural icon whose image transcends generations. For collectors, she represents much more than an actress: she embodies a myth, an aesthetic and an era.
Born Norma Jeane Mortenson in 1926, Marilyn Monroe forged a unique image blending glamour, fragility and sensuality. Her roles in cult films such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes or Some Like It Hot helped build her legend. Through her photographs, posters and public appearances, she left a strong, instantly recognisable visual legacy.
This rich world explains the enthusiasm of collectors. The items bearing his likeness are numerous and varied: original film posters, vintage postcards, period magazines, figurines, vinyl records and even promotional items. Some collectors also seek out rarer items, such as original signed photographs, authentic press cuttings or items that actually belonged to the star.
This year, Marilyn would have turned 100. To mark the occasion, new collectables bearing her likeness have been created, such as a new coin from the Monnaie de Paris. But we didn’t have to wait for this anniversary for Marilyn Monroe to be honoured! There are countless postcards, posters and figurines featuring her !
