Bring to life your empty walls and create stimulating conversation by bringing home a print from the collection of legendary photographer, Milton H. Greene. Perfect gift for that classic movie enthusiast, Marilyn Monroe fanatic, or art collector. Authenticated by the photographer's son and apprentice, Joshua Greene.

A Ringling Bros Circus fund-raiser in 1955 for the Arthritis & Rheumatism Foundation at the old Madison Square Garden was the event that re-introduced Marilyn to the world after a year in hiding. It was the "Show Of Shows", a CIRCUS with Milton Berle (Uncle Milti) as the ringmaster. Milton and Marilyn were inspired and excited with the whole idea and decided to use the evening's festivities to make the formal announcement of Marilyn Monroe Productions (MMP) to the world. It was Marilyn's idea to ride a pink female elephant, complete with a pink bow on the tail, as well as a matching rhinestone harness and saddle. Her entrance and reappearance to the world caused a media frenzy, and the rest is history. This image is of her in the dressing room before her grand entrance.
