Marilyn Monroe is being honored in a big way.
The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures hosted a celebration to commemorate what would have been her 100th birthday on Sunday (June 1) at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles with a gala alongside the museum’s new exhibition, Marilyn Monroe: Hollywood Icon.
More on the exhibition from Deadline:
The exhibition features hundreds of original objects, including posters, portraits, photographs, production documents, letters, and rarely seen personal materials—many of which will be on display for the first time—the exhibition gives unique insight into her agency in becoming a Hollywood icon. The exhibition also features an extensive display of Monroe’s screen-worn costumes, ranging from a dress featured in Love Happy (1949) to items from her final and unfinished film, Something’s Got to Give (1962). Major highlights include two costumes by Orry-Kelly from Some Like it Hot (1959), as well as the rarely exhibited famous pink dress by William Travilla from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953).”
