Bank check, 8.25 x 3, filled out in type and signed by Monroe, payable to Marilyn Monroe for $7500.00, July 13, 1961. Reverse bears a secretarial endorsement. In fine condition, with a central vertical fold, red check mark to right edge, and expected cancellation holes, well away from the clean signature area. In unusually clean, bright condition. The year of 1961 proved to be a difficult year for Marilyn. Her divorce from Arthur Miller was finalized in January, and the month’s following her dependence on alcohol and prescription medications began to take a toll on her health. A month after writing this check, Joe DiMaggio asked Marilyn to remarry him in an attempt to save her.
