A chaise lounge with rococo-style carved wooden frame used in the Marilyn Monroe romantic comedy Let's Make Love (20th Century Fox, 1960). Featured in the scene where Jean-Marc, played by Yves Montand, performs the title song "Let's Make Love" while fantasizing about being with the character Amanda, played by Monroe. The scene has extra significance in light of the fact that Monroe and Montand were having a highly publicized affair during production. The lounge also appears in the film A Royal Scandal (20th Century Fox, 1945) in the scene where Catherine the Great, played by Tallulah Bankhead, seductively questions Lieutenant Alexei Chernoff, played by William Eythe. Contains 20th Century Fox studio marks to the underside in black ink. Accompanied by an original copy of the 20th Century Fox Memorabilia Auction catalog, a copy of the film Let's Make Love, and the illustrated Monroe biography Marilyn: Her Life & Legend (Beekman House, 1990).
