Genuine Marilyn Monroe autograph??

This signed Monroe photo is currently for sale and I was wondering what the consensus is?

It was apparently signed on the set of 'Let's Make Love' in 1960, and has also been autographed by Monroe's French co-star Yves Montand and director George Cukor. 

A PSA quick opinion came back "likely not genuine" but another person has told me they believe it's good. All opinions are welcome, but especially interested in people who have deep knowledge of Monroe's autograph.

Who is the best person to authenticate (subjective I know) Monroe's autographs?

Many thanks in advance!

I'm no expert on MM, but that seems to have a lot of positive characteristics of her signature.

I believed in it enough to bid EUR 3,400 but it went up to EUR 4,000 (obviously before buyer's premium and all other charges).

For me it wasn't worth more than I bid due to 1) the fact that Marilyn was not on her own, 2) the fact that I couldn't find out what the connection was between the signatories and the "Herbert Stein" it was inscribed to and 3) the creasing to the photo. 

Anybody know who this Herbert Stein was? I found one guy of that name involved in movies but he only seems to have been on the scene later (mid-60s). There is a more famous economist of the same name but I cannot believe that Cukor was his "first director".
