Original program for the 1958 American Academy of Arts and Letters and the National Institute of Arts and Letters Ceremonial, 8.5 x 11, eight pages, signed on an inside page in black ink by Marilyn Monroe, who accompanied the ceremony with her husband, Arthur Miller. Miller, who has signed in blue ink beneath Monroe, was one of the inductees. Also signed in ink by Dorothy Parker, Chaim Gross, Glenway Wescott, and one other. Light creasing, soiling and toning to the pages, a few brushes and stray ink around Monroe’s signature, and Miller’s signature touching the start of her name, otherwise fine condition.
Monroe was among the many honored guests in attendance at a May 21, 1958, ceremony in which Miller was inducted as member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters at the Academy Auditorium in New York City. The Death of a Salesman author was joined by the likes of author Saul Bellow, artist Raphael Soyer, critic Robert M. Coates, and Parker, who received the Marjorie Peabody Waite Award to a Writer. Miller and Monroe signed this very program just three months before Monroe began filming Some Like It Hot. Amazing contrast as many of the greatest artists and writers of the 20th century mingled with Marilyn, the biggest star in the world.
