A Bob Mackie signed mixed media on paper contemporary sketch of Marilyn Monroe in her 1962 Jean Louis designed gown. Mackie has drawn Monroe in the nude illusion gown using his current style of sketching. Mackie’s first job in Hollywood was with Jean Louis. At the time he drew the original sketch, he did not know who the gown was for. The 22 year-old Mackie, under Jean Louis’ direction, spent his days drawing sketches of Marilyn Monroe for her role as Ellen Arden in the unfinished film Something’s Got To Give (20th Century). Mackie recalled that Louis’ French accent was so thick it was difficult to understand his directions. 17 by 11 inches Categories: Marilyn Monroe
