MARILYN MONROE Internal memo from Ivan Kahn to George Wasson informing him that Norma Jeane Dougherty's sound and photographic tests would be that day. August 14, 1946. 1 page, 5 1/2x8 1/2 inches. Signed by Kahn. Holes punched in the top margin.
Monroe's first screen test for Twentieth Century Fox came almost immediately after her initial meeting with Ben Lyon but was without sound. This screen test, however, would be the one which led directly to her first studio contract.
