ONE mint gummed "Legends of Hollywood" stamp sheet featuring actress Marilyn Monroe.  It was issued in 1995.  It features twenty 32-cent United States postage stamps. Below her picture and signature is the following information, "Few other actresses personified the phrase "Hollywood movie star” as did Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962).  Classically beautiful, Marilyn set the motion picture standard for glamour and sensuality in film favorites such as Some Like it Hot, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Bus Stop, and The Seventh Year Itch.”

The Postal Service solicited concepts from eight different artists for the stamp design. But the Postal team and CSAC quickly selected a portrait by artist Michael J. Deas because it captured Marilyn's sensual glamour without presenting her as a clichéd sex symbol. Deas painted her face using a studio publicity photo from the early 1950s as reference, but the torso and hands are composites based on different photographs of Monroe.
