Provenance and Authentication:
This lot is accompanied by supporting documentation provided with the item.

The available materials relate to the signature, provenance, and authentication history of the piece and are offered for bidder review in accordance with the auction terms and conditions.

Marilyn Monroe remains one of the most iconic figures of twentieth-century Hollywood, whose image and legacy continue to define the golden age of cinema. Her autograph is among the most recognizable and widely collected in the entertainment memorabilia market.

This example is sheet music for Let's Make Love, a film closely associated with Monroe during the later stage of her career. The direct connection between the signed item and the film significantly enhances its appeal.

The sheet bears Monroe's signature in blue ink, accompanied by the inscription "Love and kisses," a highly desirable addition that adds a personal and expressive quality to the piece. Such inscriptions are particularly sought after, as they reflect a more intimate signing context.

The autograph is placed prominently near her image, creating a strong visual association between the signature and the subject. This positioning greatly enhances display value.

The sheet shows moderate wear consistent with age, including light handling marks and edge wear. Despite this, the overall presentation remains visually attractive, with the signature standing out clearly.

From a collecting standpoint, Monroe signatures are consistently in demand. While signed photographs represent the highest tier, film-related material-such as this example-offers strong appeal due to its contextual relevance.

The combination of an iconic Hollywood figure, a film-related item, and a personalized inscription places this piece in a solid mid-to-upper tier of Monroe signed material.

Overall, this is a highly collectible Marilyn Monroe signed sheet music with strong display appeal and enduring market demand.
