| Description: Lot of original telephone messages received by Joe DiMaggio from Marilyn Monroe c.1960-62. Fascinating group of telephone messages received by Joe DiMaggio from Marilyn Monroe at the Hotel Lexington in New York. The messages, beginning on 12/27/1960 and continuing until 2/1/1962, are marked as coming from either "Mrs. Miller" or later on, "Mrs. Norman". Interestingly, the messages indicate that Marilyn frequently telephoned Joe two to three times per day and often late at night (sometimes as late as 2:00-3:00am). She often phoned on notable dates, including New Years Eve 1960 at 10:00pm; Feb. 6, 1961 (Marilyn would enter the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic the next day); and Feb. 1, 1962 ( she attended a dinner in honor of Robert Kennedy that evening). "Miss. Norman called twice" is written on this particular message, which was hand dated at 2:45am and then machine stamped at 8:45 am. The majority of the messages include both the original handwritten message and carbon copy underneath. The fact that Joe preserved the offered grouping is yet another indication of his profound devotion to Marilyn. (39) total messages: Range VG-NM |
