These vintage posters were given to me 20 years ago as a gift. They look like they were cut to fit 10 x 13 frames. There is no information on the back (probably were cut off).
Does anybody know anything about these posters? Two of them are fairly popular (playboy; Misfits), but the other three I cannot find. If anybody knows anything or can guide me in the right direction to find information about these, please let me know.

Hi, nice posters. A mix of photographers and the sepia tone is cool. You're right about the 2 posters..upper right is obviously from the Misfits, the last (completed) film for Marilyn, Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift. The lower lift is from the Tom Kelley "Golden Dreams" series that spawned the famous calendars and "launched" Playboy. The one in the white bikini top is a photo by Eve Arnold, who unfortunately, just passed away a few weeks ago. The photo of her sipping wine is, I believe, a Bert Stern photo. He is famous for his "Last Sitting" photo series. The last one is a young Norma Jeane at the beach. Andres DeDiennes is famous for this series of photos.
Thanks for sharing. Hope this helps.
