Hollywood Blvd Cinema Memorabilia
Lot 1345:
Description
This fascinating archival grouping centers on a 1959 typed letter from legendary Hollywood makeup artist Allan “Whitey” Snyder to Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, discussing their work on The Misfits and mentioning Tony Curtis. The lot includes a detailed biographical plaque outlining Snyder’s 17-year friendship with Monroe—from her first screen test to being a pallbearer at her funeral—along with a Marilyn Monroe Productions envelope and a telegram. These pieces represent a deeply personal connection to the star’s inner circle during the late 1950s Golden Age of cinema. The documents show expected age-toning, original fold lines, and minor edge wear consistent with mid-century paper ephemera; the display backing shows some scuffing. H 24″, W 18″ Please use photos to judge condition and bid accordingly. Please note: Buyer is responsible for removal. From the Hollywood Blvd. Cinemas Collection
