Who do I contact, and at what address, to request permission to
reprint a nude photo of Marilyn Monroe that was published in the first
issue of Playboy magazine in 1953? I want to reprint the photo in a
book that I am writing. |

Have you already tried contacting Playboy to see if it is the proper
place to obtain permission? As noted with your other question, I'm
sure that one of us would be happy to research this possibility, if
you have not yet contacted the publisher.

No, I have not contacted Playboy magazine. I am concerned (as with my
question regarding Cosmopolitan magazine) that the Playboy magazine
organization is so large and complex that a general letter will not
reach the specific person on the staff who is involved in granting
permission to reprint a photograph that was originally published in
the magazine 50 years ago. I am hoping that someone will be able to
provide me with a specific name and address to contact within the
Playboy magazine staff.

I have not found a specific name, but I have found a specific
department, address, and fax number relating to requests for
permission to reprint images. The address is provided with respect to
images from the Playboy web site, but I presume that it relates to
images from the magazine as well. Instead of a name, there is a line
in the address "Attention: ---", which would direct it to the right
department.
Would this information be a sufficient answer?

Yes, a mailing address that includes a street address, a company
address, and a department within that company would answer the
question, even if there is not a specific person's name as part of the
address. Thanks.
