"Marilyn Monroe is one of those entertainment legends whose personal life is as iconic as her movie roles. Lifelong fan Scott Fortner has assembled a dazzling collection that illuminates both aspects of the film star’s persona, and shares it all with Lisa Whelchel and Collector’s Call. From the onscreen side, we’ll see the gown she wore (and the fan she wielded) in The Prince and the Showgirl, and her personal script for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. From the private side, we’ll showcase her phone book from 1962; a letter to her former father-in-law on her personal stationary, her custom-made black wool and mink collar suit, and her iconic green Pucci top. Entertainment archivist and screen-worn costume authority Rob Klein appraises the items, and Scott’s entire collection, before offering a tempting trade for one of its treasures."
