Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label, verso TC: (Monroe) 8/62 5) ALONE IN THE CROWD: Marilyn was often torn between \ feeling that she was asked to public functions "to brighten \ up the dinner table" like an "ornament" and a pride in her \ famous body. In this case, Miss Monroe was a most decorative \ ornament at Twentieth Century Fox's 1959 dinner honoring \ Nikita Khrushchev. At one point in her career, the Communists \ denounced Miss Monroe as a capitalist trick to make the \ American people forget how miserable they were. \ Credit: Burt Glinn © 1962 MAGNUM Photos
