The Seven Year Itch

The “Seven Year Itch” is often cited as one of the great comedies of its time and in 1955, the film version became the biggest US box office hit of that summer. Marilyn Monroe plays a blonde model and actress on a toothpaste commercial whose name is never revealed in the film – she is simply referred to as “The Girl”. The movie also contains one of Monroe’s most iconic images – the scene where her dress is blown up above her waist by a passing train underneath a subway grate she is standing on.

Monroe was truly a legend, whose accomplishments during her short life has made her one of those enduring pop culture icons.

We were trying to find the price that her famous “Seven Year Itch” dress fetched at auction. We did come across the auction result of another famous piece of her wardrobe – the evening dress she wore at the famous birthday tribute to President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden on May 19, 1962. The final price at the 1999 Christie’s auction was an astounding $1,150,000. We wonder where that dress is now?

During Profiles in History’s auction on July 30, 2004, Monroe’s signature red evening gown from the 1953 film “How to Marry a Millionaire” was sold for $48,875 while Monroe and Jane Russell’s matching sequin dance costumes with hats from the 1953 film “Gentleman Prefer Blondes” sold for $40,250.
