The auction, which raked in a total of $4 million, unveiled an array of items linked to Marilyn Monroe, including movie costumes, makeup, and wardrobe, alongside hundreds of items the late magazine editor and Playboy tycoon Hugh Hefner left in his estate following his death in 2017 at 91 years old.

Monroe's untimely death at 36 in 1962 was a tragic blow to Hollywood, with her passing attributed to a probable suicide resulting from a barbiturate overdose at her Brentwood estate in California.

According to Julien's, a script for Monroe's last, incomplete film "Something's Got To Give" was sold for $57,150, while the late icon's handwritten notes went for $25,400.

The organizers said a black and white passport photo of Monroe and late baseball icon Joe DiMaggio, taken in 1954, was also sold for $16,250. According to Julien's, another evening gown worn by Monroe in the 1955 romantic comedy film "The Seven Year Itch" was sold for $127,000.
