Marilyn Monoe autograph newly purchased. Possibly signed in late 1952 or 1953. Is it authentic?

I recently purchased this from a very reputable dealer but after reading about her history and handwriting changes over the years I started to feel that 2nd opinions were needed. Can anyone help? This looks fantastic but is it real? It was probably signed in late 1952 or 1953.Thanks for any help.

Hi Frank,

We have a Marilyn Monroe forum, so I moved this there so our top Marilyn collector, Pauline Berry, will see it. You don't have to change anything.

It does not look genuine to me, but let's see what Pauline thinks.

Hi Franklin

I agree with Steve. Very unlikely to be genuine, but once again, some effort has been put in. Once again also, the signer has tried to copy a version of her signature that is unlike most, being similar to her Trademarked signature found on her 20th Century Fox contract. She almost never wrote like this autograph wise - the closest being on cheques when there is a guiding line underneath.

And I suspect it is done by the same person as the other signature, which is bright blue posted here recently, as it has the same problematic lacking details.
