A two-page typed letter dated September 27, 1958, on Chateau Marmont hotel stationery, to Miss May Reis, Marilyn Monroe's secretary, and believed to be from Paula Strasberg. The letter reads in part "This week was a most difficult one for Marilyn. But I saw the rushes and they were extraordinary. I have kept minute notes on this weeks' work that will cover pages and pages through the type-writer. I will send a copy on to Arthur because I think it will more than interest him professionally insofar as what happens to the actor in the process of work" and "Tonight, Eli, Marilyn, Clifford...are going out for a quiet dinner. Tomorrow we leave for Coronado and will be there, I should think, until next Thursday." This letter was written during the time Monroe was filming the comedy Some Like It Hot (United Artists, 1959) and relates to some of Monroe's expenses incurred during that time. Signed "Paula" in blue ink. 10 3/8 by 7 1/8 inches Categories: Marilyn Monroe
