Marilyn Monroe’s ‘Mink Stole’ to be Auctioned
Los Angeles: Late actress Marilyn Monroe's mink stole, which she wore in 1949 musical comedy film "Love Happy", is to be auctioned.
The bidding starts at $20,000.
The fashion accessory will be auctioned by Nate D Sanders Auctions here, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Monroe -- who passed away at the age of 36 in 1962 from a barbiturate overdose in Los Angeles -- was one of the biggest sex symbols of the 1950s, and her walk-on role in "Love Happy" came before her big breakthrough.
The mink stole was made by Western Costume Company, and is light brown in colour with a brown-grey satin lining and black trim. It is 76 inches in length, with its widest point being 15 inches, and its narrowest point 9 inches.
The auction for the mink stole opens on Thursday.
