Marilyn Monroe’s iconic white dress from “The Seven Year Itch” is up for auction.
The unforgettable moment happened when a gust of wind from a subway below blew up her dress and the rest was history…
From impersonators to appreciators to giant statues in New York City, Marilyn’s moment has lived on.
Profiles in History, the world’s largest auctioneer of Hollywood artifacts, is also putting an important clue to her stage name up for auction: a signed photograph reading, "Dear Ben, You found me, named me and believed in me when no one else did. My thanks and love forever, Marilyn."
The picture seems to confirm that former 20th Century Fox executive Ben Lyon helped make Marilyn the icon she was.
Whether in the movies, on-stage, or just posing for the cameras, Marilyn Monroe was an unforgettable character Hollywood and the rest of the world will always adore.
