Almost always, collectors of objects (memorabilia) and autograph documents from great personalities are “nationalists”. A French person will be enchanted by Charles De Gaulle, Marie Curie or Marcel Proust; an American will invest in Abraham Lincoln, Frank Sinatra or Neil Armstrong; and a Brazilian will look for Princess Isabel, Santos Dumont or Ayrton Senna. National figures, a source of pride.

However, some figures go beyond national borders and are every collector's dream: Albert Einstein, The Beatles or Marilyn Monroe are in this very restricted club of people who are part of our common heritage, of “Pop Culture” as historians say. These are the people who achieve millionaire records at international auctions in New York, Paris or London: in these highly publicized events, incredible objects and documents are competed for and make a lucky few happy.

But luck, sometimes, leaves this privileged circle and we find some rarities that belonged to these legends... Today I present to you, an original check from Marilyn Monroe, the actress and singer who turned the heads of so many men, including the President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Found near Los Angeles, in perfect condition, this check was probably in her house or in one of her favorite bags on the days when, between two recordings, the star visited the prestigious stores on Rodeo Drive, in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood .
