Incredible correspondence between Marilyn and United Artists Corporation memorializing a loan of $25,000.00 to Marilyn. Includes (1) the original Promissory Note signed by Marilyn in blue ballpoint (9/10); (2) photocopy of the Loan Agreement signed by Marilyn, especially noteworthy because in it, she pledged as security for the loan all proceeds due her from the film "Some Like It Hot"; and (3) an original signed letter to Marilyn from her lawyer regarding the loan and its tax consequences. A rare and intimate glimpse into the business dealings of an American icon.
