Authenticity is Everything
Marilyn Monroe original ?
Good morning, I have been collecting cinema photos for years and sometimes autographed photos.
Today I have the opportunity to buy a photo of Marilyn but have doubts about her signature.
Can you enlighten me? I am attaching a scan of average quality.
Thanks in advance

Secretarial/proxy . Those "M"'s so straight. Odd "y" etc.

Most signatures on German UFA cards from this 50s/60s era are secretarial like this Monroe that you are looking at. Most originated from the Filmstar-Sekretariat Hans Dangers service in Berlin and distributed widely by them in the European market. Definitely not personally signed by MM.
