LEGENDARY !
A vintage 1954 photograph depicting Marilyn Monroe in the iconic white dress she wore for the shooting of the famous "Dress Scene" in the film, "The Seven Year Itch". The images of Monroe standing on a subway grate as her white dress is blown above her knees by a passing train below are iconic. Filming of that memorable scene took place on a September evening at Lexington Avenue and 52nd street in New York City. A crowd of lucky onlookers and the press were there in full force to watch the scene being filmed in which co-star Tom Ewell and Marilyn exit a movie theater. A breeze from the subway passing below lifts Marilyn’s light-colored ivory cocktail dress designed by William Travilla. Instead of rushing to cover her legs, as any decent woman of that era would have, Marilyn exclaims, “Isn't it delicious?”. That magical moment would become one of the most memorable in the history of cinema. Offered is one of those shots captured of Marilyn in that stellar white dress. This period 1954 photograph was issued by the studio, 20th Century Fox and is one of several different angles of Marilyn captured that night. It is a photo silhouette in which a photo of Marilyn was die-cut and set against a white blank background and reshot to form the image seen in the photo. This rare photograph comes from the collection of pin-up photographer Irving Klaw and his Movie Star News archives. |
