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".
