Marilyn Monroe autograph authentic?

This is one of 13 autographed 8x10s that belonged to a friend of my father in law named Mike (Michael) who worked there for almost 45 years.

Most are made out to Mike or Michael and they were all signed in person at Paramount Pictures soon the 50's.

You have to upload a higher Picture resolution, so unfortunately nobody can tell you whether the Autograph is real or not

From what can be seen it doesn't look like MM's hand. Very atypical "M"'s.

After enlarging this I do no think it authentic. It appears ro be a well intended period fake. Pauline will know. I've sent her a message,

It could be early but seems incongruous with the photo.

Hello Heather

This is a secretarial unfortunately, still a genuine memento of the era. I call this Style C on my Secretarials blog, there are several very similar examples of this elongated hand.
