MARILYN + THE DEL - pastel by Susan Roden

MARILYN + THE DEL

sold - private collector

Iconic . . . no other words for the little lady.

Time has rolled on yet she is still as popular as ever.

One of my dearest friends loves Marilyn

and so I was commissioned to create a likeness.

It has been over 50 years since the filming

of "Some Like It Hot" with Marilyn and Tony Curtis.

The film was shot in Coronado which is a peninsula of San Diego

and considered one of the finest films ever produced.

And thank you so much Alex!
