One Brand NEW Sheet of 20

Marilyn Monroe

32-Cent Stamps from 1995.

Fresh, Mint Condition.

 

On June 1, 1995 (the 69th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's birthday), the U.S. Postal Service issued this sheet of Marilyn Monroe gummed 32-cent stamps in Universal City, CA - the 1st issuance in the Legends of Hollywood series, commemorating film personalities who have made an indelible mark on the American motion picture industry. The portrait of Monroe is by the artist Michael Deas of New Orleans, LA, and was based on a 1950s studio photograph.

Also included to the right of the stamps is a reproduction of Marilyn Monroe's signature and the following short biography: "Few other actresses personified the phrase 'Hollywood movie star' as did Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962). Classically beautiful, Marilyn set the motion picture standard for glamour and sensuality in film favorites such as Some Like It Hot, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Bus Stop and The Seven Year Itch."
