He was reading this edition of “Quick” on the set, killing time, and came to page 19 as Miss Monroe was arriving on the set. He got up and approached her and asked if she had seen the photo of her in the magazine yet. She said “no,” she hadn't, and asked to see it. After she had carefully read it, she thanked him and autographed it for him, and returned it." Excellent provenance!
