The calendar is still shrink wrapped so I can't examine it firther without buying it.Bottom left of the litho is the number 5471,in the middle is Marilyn, and the right is Litho in USA. The website "Cool Collections" has a 1953 that is very similar and is by Laszlo Willinger and made by Champion line prod. and is called Caught Short.
I'm told this has been in storage for 20 + years. Does anybody have any info on this,is it legit,and how much is it worth? I would appreciate any info that you might have. Rod Steffler

I would say I am pretty sure it was based on the photo by Earl Moran, as now the pose has instantly brought it back to my mind. Definitely Marilyn !~Phil.
The hair is pretty much the same in one of Earl's photos and like I said earlier the pose also is the same. Great find. _Phil.
As to the legitamacy that is a very fine line. Shrink wrap should have been yellowed and probably brittle. Also since the calendar was so copied and also since this is fairly new to me, I kind of doubt, but hey, what if it is real !!~
