1960 Photograph of Marilyn Monroe as she announced that she was divorcing Arthur Miller around swirling rumors of an affair with Ives Montand. Pictured here, this is a sexually charged night club photograph showing Monroe along with the man who may or may not have broken up the marriage, Montand. A controversial photograph that we have never seen in original form before (all known specimens we have seen are wire photographs). Photo has a few light creases at the corners and note the small stain on Marilyn's dress is actually a stain on her dress and not on the photograph. Stamped on the back from about 1963 by the United Press so it is still within the five year window we give out photographs to be a "vintage 1".
