An excellent clean fresh copy of the first edition of the 2012 book "An Evening with Marilyn", signed by the photographer DOUGLAS KIRKLAND and inscribed to an admirer/friend "George". The high quality printing, three pound book and dust jacket measures approximately 14" by 10". It is lavishly illustrated with color and black and white photos of the 1961 interlude between then-little known photographer Douglas Kirkland and the famous sex symbol...

A circa early 1960's black and white photo of famous actress Leslie Caron (1931-), the actress appearing very young, with her famous sassy short haircut, inscribed at lower right in somewhat faded ink "Pour George Ghira/Souvenir de/Leslie Caron". The name of the recipient might be "Ghica", or even another variant---difficult to decipher. Caron of course is the actress known for "Gigi", "An American in Paris", and so forth...

An original Mexican movie poster, for a movie released in 1952, "Mujer de Medianoche", starring Gloria Marin and Victor Junco, directed by Victor Urruchua, the artwork dated 1950 by Carlos Vega.

A classic 9" by 7" black and white photo of George Burns holding a cigar, an impish grin on his face, inscribed in yellow (or ink that has faded to yellow) "Best, George Burns" at lower left. Burns (1896-1996) was an American actor, singer, and writer whose career in entertainment spanned many, many decades. With the passage of time, the photo has stuck to the glass at upper right and I am afraid to try to remove it. In a simple inexpensive frame.

A replica of unknown date on cardstock, of graphic art created to advertise the August 9-10, 1956 appearance of Elvis Presley in Jacksonville, Florida. That appearance created considerable controversy at the time due to the sexually suggestive behavior of Presley, and to this day, the event is infamous in the history of pop culture and music...

A vintage, circa early 1930's original photograph of early screen actress and Hollywood socialite Marion Davies (1897-1961), bearing the embossed stamp of the photographer at right lower corner, and a stamp from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on reverse.
