by her ex-husbands, Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller will be auctioned
next month.Over 300 items which previously belonged to the late screen icon will be auctioned off at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills next month, including notes written by her former husbands.

wrote: ‘I love you and want to be with you.There is nothing I would
like better than to restore your confidence in me. ‘My heart split even
wider seeing you cry in front of all these people.’
Other items in the sale include a framed letter from designer Cecil
Beaton, in which he reassured her she was a fine actress, and a
19-minute reel made after her 1961 movie ‘The Misfits’ wrapped which
shows her happily on the beach with co-star Gable and other friends.
