MARILYN MONROE SIGNED DOCUMENT
1947
A one page typed letter outlining an agreement between Marilyn Monroe and John Carroll. Dated "December 4, 1947" when MM was just twenty-one, Carroll agreed that "For and in consideration of the sum of One-Hundred ($100.00) to be paid you weekly, you hereby agree that you shall engage your professional sevices as an actress only through me." Both parties signed in black fountain pen ink; MM's signature being very deliberate and neat-looking as she had just recently changed her name from Norma Jeane Baker to Marilyn Monroe.

John Carroll and his wife, Lucille Ryman, both Hollywood actors, let MM live with them in the late 1940s when she was a stuggling actress; Carroll even went so far as becoming her personal manager for awhile as this signed agreement indicates.
