- Lot Description
A platinum blonde two-piece wig custom made for Marilyn Monroe as Roslyn Taber in her final completed film, The Misfits (United Artists, 1961). The wig is made of European human hair that was hand tied one strand of hair at a time into a lace mesh with silk bands in the interior to give the appearance of a scalp. Studio wigs at the time were custom made and fitted to measure by the star's head and hairline. The second piece is an extension that would have been pinned onto the wig to give length and volume to the style. Agnes Flanagan and Sydney Guilaroff were the hairstylists on this film. Together with the original box with a side label that reads "Max Factor Studios/ Hair Creations/ Marilyn Monroe" and a label and inscription to the top that reads in part "United Artists Corporation/ The Misfits/ Mapes Hotel/ Reno, Nevada" and "Hold At Airport For Pick up."
PROVENANCE Lot 350, "The Personal Property of Marilyn Monroe," Christie's, New York, Sale number 9216, October 27 & 28, 1999
Thank you to Jody Lawrence Miller, Department of Head Hair and Makeup at CBS, for styling the wig and bringing the piece back to its original state.
