Description

John F. Kennedy: Poster for "Birthday Salute" with Marilyn Monroe. Very rare 14" x 20" cardboard poster titled "New York's Birthday Salute to President Kennedy", advertising tickets for the legendary birthday bash that included Marilyn Monroe singing "Happy Birthday Mr. President" to a blushing JFK. It would be hard to replicate such a roster of talented entertainers, with tickets selling for $10, $25 and $100. This is only nly the second example Heritage has offered. Tickets and programs for this event surface with some regularity, but not the poster which obviously had a limited printing run. In our May 2023 an example sold in our Entertainment auction realizing $35,000.

Condition: Excellent.
