Marilyn Monroe’s personal belongings to be auctioned on June 1
Heritage Auctions will sell a collection of Marilyn Monroe’s personal items on June 1, the date that would have marked her 100th birthday. The lot, drawn from the period 1955‑1962, includes clothing, jewelry, photographs, paintings, handwritten notes and letters. Among the documents are correspondence with her ex‑husband, playwright Arthur Miller, and a previously unseen letter from her psychiatrist describing the days before her death.
Auction representatives say the items offer a rare glimpse into Monroe’s private life, revealing her romantic relationships, fears about an unsuccessful pregnancy and concerns about her mental health. The sale is expected to attract collectors and fans interested in the Hollywood icon’s intimate history.
