An exclusive interview with Scott Fortner from The Marilyn Monroe Collection who first broke the story about Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn’s dress. The Marilyn Monroe collection is a collection of authentic personal and professional clothing and artefacts from Marilyn Monroe’s life. This is the  first in person interview Scott Fortner  has given to express his views on Kim Kardashian wearing the historical Marilyn Monroe Happy Birthday dress.  We also talk about how he protects  his archive of Marilyn Monroe's personal clothing. I ask him if he would  allow a celebrity to wear any part of his collection? A fun moment was when I asked a  personal question about one of the  items he owns , Marilyn Monroes’ address book from 1962 and I get a shock with his answer . I felt like @piersmorgan with a scoop ! What a star Scott Fortner is. A fun, kind caring person and a professional . His collection is exhibited internationally with care and respect. He is also a leading expert in authenticating Marilyn Monroe owned items and is called upon by Julien's Auction House to authenticate Marilyn items that come up for sale.  Keep up to date by following @marilynmonroecollection on instagram.
