Vintage glossy 10 x 8 photo of the actress posing with four servicemen during a visit to Korea, signed in ink “Love & Kisses, Marilyn Monroe.” In very good condition, with moderate overall rippling, scattered creasing (one touching the side of her face), a vertical streak passing to Monroe’s right, and tiny pinholes at each corner, and moderate contrast to the writing.
Identified on the reverse, in ink, by Corporal Joseph Fishman: “L. to R. me! Marilyn Monroe. My Photo Officer Lt. Belche. Vic Congeloso & Julio Andajar. we where [sic] shooting Picture of her at the Generals Mess after a USO Show she put on for the troops Feb, 1954—over my Right Shoulder is Lefty O’Douls wife. of the N.Y. Yankees.” The photograph was quickly developed and signed by Marilyn Monroe that day. This photograph was taken on February 16, 1954, after Marilyn performed for the 7th Infantry Division. Monroe and new husband, Joe DiMaggio, were in Japan on their honeymoon when the starlet was invited to perform for troops still stationed in South Korea. Much to DiMaggio’s chagrin, she quickly agreed to put together a show, performing ten times in four days between February 16 and February 20—for 100,000 servicemen. Oddly enough, Monroe was nervous about performing some of her songs, specifically ‘Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend.’ Much to delight of the servicemen, Monroe performed the song, but not before borrowing some jewelry from O’Doul’s wife, who is also shown in this image. A great pose from a legendary period in Marilyn’s life.
