Marilyn Monroe Commemorative Stamp Celebration program from June 1, 1995

This program commemorates the United States Postal Service's release of the Marilyn Monroe 32-cent commemorative stamp on June 1, 1995, at Planet Hollywood in Lahaina, Hawaii. The stamp was part of the USPS Legends of Hollywood series, honoring iconic figures in American entertainment history. Marilyn Monroe, one of the most celebrated actresses and cultural icons of the 20th century, was chosen as the subject for this widely popular stamp issue. The event featured a special pictorial hand cancellation and the sale of commemorative stamps and philatelic souvenirs from noon until 8:00 pm at the Planet Hollywood restaurant location. Such first-day-of-issue programs and cancellations are highly sought after by stamp collectors and Marilyn Monroe enthusiasts alike. These items represent a specific moment in postal history and popular culture, combining the appeal of philately with celebrity memorabilia. Collectors value these programs for their historical significance, limited distribution at the actual event location, and connection to one of Hollywood's most enduring legends.
