A Priceless Moment in History
On the eve of JFK’s birthday, Marilyn Monroe famously serenaded him with a sultry rendition of “Happy Birthday, Mr. President.” More than five decades later, this 60-second performance continues to make waves.
In November 2016, the iconic Jean Louis dress that Marilyn wore during the performance was put up for auction, becoming a glittering memento of her tragic final days. This flesh-toned gown, adorned with 2,500 dazzling rhinestones, fetched a record-breaking amount of $1.26 million.
