BARBIE AS MARILYN MONROE The Seven Year Itch HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS Collector Mint

Description

This Barbie doll portrays a famous scene Marilyn Monroe shot in the Hollywood Classic- The Seven Year Itch
The white dress was created by costume William Travilla in one of the best-known scenes in the movie
.
In the film, the white dress appears in the sequence in which Marilyn Monroe and co-star Tom Ewell exit the theatre then located on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan.
When they hear a subway train passing below the grate in the sidewalk, Monroe's character steps onto the grate saying "Ooh, do you feel the breeze from the subway?", as the wind blows the dress up exposing her legs.
The dress is regarded as an icon of film history and the image of Monroe in the white dress standing above a subway grating blowing the dress up has been described as one of the iconic images of the 20th century.
After Monroe's death in 1962, Travilla kept the dress locked up with many of the costumes he had made over the years for the actress, to the point that for years there was talk of a "Lost Collection".
Only after his own death in 1990, were the clothes put on display by Bill Sarris, a colleague of Travilla.
It joined the private collection of Hollywood memorabilia owned by the Hollywood Motion Picture Museum
owned by
Debbie Reynolds, who later auctioned it for 5.6 million dollars.
This can be yours for a much more affordable price. Never
removed from box- this mint in box Barbie is an exceptional piece of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia.
