Known by many as the most famous actress/pin-up model of her or any generation! Get behind the scenes for this historic event in 1962 when Monroe famously sang Happy Birthday to JFK at this famous Democratic fundraiser at Madison Square Garden! Less than three months, Monroe passed away.
The star-studded event was the who's who in politics and entertainment at the time. According to legend, the head of the event's security obtained 16 signatures from that night's performers on two "call" sheets. Such notable names as:
Marilyn Monroe (huge bold signature!)
Lyndon B. Johnson (VP)
Jimmy Durante
Robert Merrill
Ella Fitzgerald
Peggy Lee
Jack Benny
Bobby Darin
Henry Fonda
Peter Lawford
Miriam Makeba
Harry Belafonte
Mike Nichols
Elaine May
Shirley MacLaine
Maria Callas
The call sheets also include the original program (only few of those survived). We commissioned an oil painting depicting Monroe that is included with this epic piece, in museum quality glass/matting/frame.
Finally, the autographs have been recently certified with a letter of authenticity by JSA!
