Own a piece of Marilyn Monroe / Norma Jeane Baker history!This is a vintage original photo inscribed on the back by Marilyn Monroe, at the time Norma Jeane Baker, circa 1943. The photo pictures her first husband James (“Jimmie”) Dougherty in his USMS “gym clothes” at the Catalina Ball Park. This photo was taken on Santa Catalina Island, after Dougherty had enlisted in the Merchant Marines and a 17-year-old Norma Jeane Baker had moved with her husband.
The photo is boldly captioned by Marilyn on the reverse “Jimmie in his Gym clothes, also these are the work clothes of the Physical training instructors. This was taken at the Catalina Ball Park where he works.”
The photo / handwriting has been authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services / BAS..... one of the industry leaders and best in the business.
Thanks for looking!
