Note: A very nice eBay member messaged me to let me know that photographer Frank Mastro is his grandfather and that the signature and writing on the 3x5 card is indeed his grandfather’s handwriting.


I was originally selling this as a set of two (different poses) please see my 2nd listing.


Selling my extremely rare, one of a kind, 1954 Marilyn Monroe and Yankee Slug Joe DiMaggio original photograph by photographer Frank Mastro. One of a kind with handwritten notation and hand signed by the photographer 3x5 card. I’ve never seen another one. Very rare. Size 11x14, gelatin silver. Card reads: “WATCH YOUR CREDITS INTERNATIONAL NEWS PHOTOS SLUG (JOE-MARILYN)

DIMAGGIOS AT DINNER NEW YORK. ACTRESS MARILYN MONROE AND HER HUSBAND JOE DIMAGGIO ARE SHOWN AT EL MOROCCO HAVING DINNER TOGETHER THIS EVENING, MARILYN CAME ON TO NEW YORK TO SHOOT A COUPLE OF SCENES FOR A MOVIE AND PLANNED TO FLY BACK TO HOLLYWOOD, WHEN HURRICANE EDNA INTERFERED FORMER YANKEE STAR DIMAGGIO FLEW INTO NEW YORK TODAY TO SPEND THE WEEKEND WITH HIS WIFE 9-12-54 PHOTO BY FRANK MASTRO” Here she is happy and gorgeous. This is an actual live signature by the photographer on a 3x5 card (card included). Frank’s signature is actually on the card with his actual writing. I believe this is one of a kind. Excellent condition except the back shows a crease that is not seen from the front. Included on the 3x5 card with Frank’s signature is his handwritten information about this photo. Produced by the photographer from the original negative or transparency. My best guess is this was produced in the early 70’s to early 80’s.
