Studio Memo Re Conflict Over Marilyn Monroe

First Time To Auction

20th Century Studios, 1955. Typed pink 8.5 x 5.5 in. Famous Artists Agency Interoffice Memo from Harry E. Sokolov to Charles K. Feldman dated 7/23/54. It reads, in part, referring to Marilyn Monroe: "She told him to tell 20th she will do SEVEN YEAR ITCH whether under the new contract or the old contract because she wants to do it, but as far as the new contract is concerned, "˜she does not owe 20th a damned thing, and she will sign when she is good and ready.' She asked Loyd Wright, Jr. to set up an appointment with Darryl Zanuck. She wants only Zanuck, Loyd Wright and herself and maybe Lew Schreiber present, but she does not want anyone from Famous present. Loyd ended up by saying, "˜Harry, of you all will relax and sit quiet for a while, I am sure I can straighten this beef out and everything will be okay.'" Retaining two hole punches at the top and exhibiting handling, some chipping to edges not affecting text, and corner folding. In vintage very good condition.
