Marilyn Monroe’s Something’s Got to Give script with her handwritten notes among items set to be auctioned off… along with VERY racy Playboy pin-up posters from Hugh Hefner’s collection

A script for Marilyn Monroe’s last, incomplete movie Something’s Got To Give, with handwritten notes from the late icon, is among the items set to be auctioned off as part of a Julien’s auction later this month.

Julien’s Auctions on Wednesday released new images and descriptions of items in the lot, which is titled ICONS: Playboy, Hugh Hefner and Marilyn Monroe, and set to take place March 28–30 in Beverly Hills, California.

The auction features a number of other items once owned by Monroe, including movie costumes, makeup, wardrobe from the late Tinseltown legend, and also hundreds of items the late magazine founder Hefner left in his estate following his death in September of 2017 at the age of 91.

Monroe was tragically found dead at 36 in the early hours of August 5, 1962, at her estate in Brentwood, California, with her death ruled a probable suicide after she overdosed on barbiturates.

The script includes annotations Monroe penned in reaction to the dialogue, according to organizers, as one entry reads, ‘Sentimental Schmaltz’ in correspondence with a line from her character in the film, Ellen.

Another item of surefire interest is a black and white passport photo of Marilyn Monroe and late baseball icon Joe DiMaggio snapped in 1954, according to organizers.

The rare slice of Americana is estimated to sell for between $10,000-$20,000.
