Description: Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio airline tickets and related documents c.1954. The tickets were issued for January 29, 1954 just 15 days after the couple were married in San Francisco. Includes tickets, passenger coupons, passenger clearance form, (2) ticket jackets, and (2) New York Yankees envelopes with "Papers Japan" written on one and "Joe DiMaggio" typed on the other. Marilyn's tickets are listed under "Mrs. Marilyn DiMaggio". The lot also includes an original black and white photograph of Marilyn and Joe departing from the airplane for which these tickets were issued. The trip would serve as their honeymoon and also as a sign that the marriage would have its share of difficulties given the enormous popularity of the two stars. During the trip to Japan Marilyn was asked to visit the U.S. Troops stationed in Korea. Joe reluctantly agreed and she left for Korea only to fuel Joe's concern for her. The offered documents are certainly some of the first printed with Marilyn's new married name of DiMaggio: EX
