The star’s Dior skirt was sold the day it was listed, with a starting bid of $20,000. The two-piece skirt suit was from Monroe’s personal wardrobe, and she was photographed in it on January 29, 1954, as she and DiMaggio departed from San Francisco to Japan.
Among several letters is one from Monroe’s ex-husband, Miller. Written on May 9, 1956, just over one month before the two wed, the letter’s current bid is set for $1,000. In it, Miller confesses his deep love for Monroe.
Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson, tragically died at the age of 36 in 1962. Struggling with endometriosis, addiction and mental health, Monroe died from an overdose of barbiturates, as her death was ruled a suicide.
“Really the most tragic is that even in death Marilyn is not only exploited but owned by a conglomerate capitalizing off her hard work and every ounce of who she was,” one user said.
Another said that Monroe “is still being exploited in her death."
