There's a letter from Joe DiMaggio begging her to come back to him following their separation; an intense love note from Arthur Miller, a message from Cary Grant, and even an old prescription pill bottle from a pharmacy in Bedford. Over 200 rare personal items of Marilyn Monroe's that have never been seen by the public will go up for auction in Los Angeles next month. The collection of belongings - which also includes her supposedly-favorite black coat, circa mid-1950s, photographs and other memorabilia - were until now kept by her mentor and coach Lee Strasberg, who died in 1982.
