Hi, Grey,
I do have the cards and I would definitely say the # 3 card does
definitely include Monroe. Not so certain about the # 6 card, though.

I have been watching the postings know nothing more that a number of
Monroe collectors have always been on the lookout for the Monroe card(s) from
the French Line. But like Rick, I have heard of this card for years and this
is the first time we have actually offered these cards.
I know there is varying opinions as to whether the card six is Monroe but
card three is certainly a more direct shot and likeness.
Is there any known proof of her appearing on the set? Not that I am aware
of, but having collected Monroe cards over the last thirty years I would
often get the question, do you have the French Line card or cards?

Yes, it does look like it could be Marilyn Monroe but it would be good to
know for certain if she actually did appear in any of the scenes. There is
no mention of her being involved in the film in IMDB. As there is a
notation in the Heritage auction that she appeared in card 3 and 6, maybe Grey
Smith could give us some more information on whether there is actually a
record of this or if it is just anecdotal.

Rich, are you saying that because to you she looks like MM? Or, is this
the common wisdom among those in the know?

Marilyn is definitely the gal in the yellow gown on the card where
everyone is facing forward.
She may also be on the other card, but the coloring & printing of the card
make it difficult to be sure
look at the link provided by Dave Rosen

mm might have been visiting but considering how difficult it was for her
to get onto a set (on time, at least), i doubt she would be interested in a
casual cameo.

Subject: [MOPO] Question:Does Marilyn Monroe Appear in a Lobby Card From
THE FRENCH LINE (1954)
Hi, Everyone,
Years ago, I heard that during the filming of THE FRENCH LINE (Jane
Russell,1954), Marilyn Monroe was on the set visiting Jane Russell, who'd
become
her friend after they made Gentlemen Prefer Blondes together the previous
year. I always heard that Marilyn Monroe appeared in one of the lobby cards.
Recently, I acquired 6 lobby cards from that film, one of which (card #
3) is a song-and-dance sequence with Russell and another brunette in the
foreground---behind them are 4 men in tuxedos and cowboy hats and a dozen
beautiful women, one of whom I'm certain is Marilyn Monroe. Why don't we hear
more mention of "the Marilym Monroe 'French Line' lobby card"? I would
think it would be quite collectable. Can anyone offer any insight into this?
Hey, if that isn't Marilyn Monroe, I'll eat all six of the lobby cards
for breakfast!
Thanks in advance,
Rick
