Jane Russell/Marilyn Monroe posterJane Russell/Marilyn Monroe poster

This is a vintage poster from the 1953 movie, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", starring Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell. It is 11" wide and 14" tall. Slight sepia tone. It was found in this border with its oval cut-out but as you can see it is faded or has watermarks. The poster is in good condition with only some light yellowish staining in the left upper corner and left border. A small dent is in the middle of the bottom border. There is also a shiny mark to the right of Ms. Russell's legs and a very light raised mark between the two stars. $115.00
