Original Type I photograph capturing Marilyn Monroe enjoying an intimate moment with her secret love: Charlie McCarthy. Attached to the reverse is a portion of an original newspaper clipping featuring this photo (date stamped "Feb 1 1953"), that bears the following caption: "Charlie McCarthy is Marilyn Monroe's secret love. But he can't Mary the gal. Can't pass the blood test . . . No blood!" The photo (8.25x9.75") displays a small vertical tear along the top border (no paper loss) and light creasing. Encapsulated as Type I Authentic by PSA.
