In 1950, Marilyn Monroe was not yet established as the sex symbol that she would soon become, and her fame was just beginning. Offered here is a document dated February 6, 1950 sent from the William Morris Agency, who Monroe was signed to at the time, to her former agency, Cukor-Lipton, in regard to a Screen Actor's Guild contract executed by the former agency and "Miss Monroe on or about July 29, 1947". The William Morris Agency declares that said prior SAG contract is now "canceled and terminated", and as such the agency delivers to Cukor-Lipton a sum of $173, which represents 5% of the compensation received by Monroe for "her services in motion pictures from June 13, 1949, to and including January 27, 1950." The document also acknowledges that the William Morris Agency now has "the right to enter into a Screen Actors Guild agency contract with Miss Monroe pursuant to her representation to [them] that her agency contract with [Cukor-Lipton] was no longer in effect." The document has been signed at the conclusion by the starlet herself, "Marilyn Monroe", as well as a representative from both agencies, all in black ink. In fine condition with scattered soiling, creasing, and intersecting folds. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
