The name "The Beatles" comes from the Marlon Brando movie "The Wild One". The name of Brando's gang was "The Beetles," causing the lads to change their names from "The Quarrymen" to the "Silver Beatles", and finally "The Beatles". John Lennon liked the name because it was the name of an insect, and it had 'beat' in it.

How much is a Marilyn Monroe signature worth?
It all depends. Is it on a photo, cheque, or paper? If its on a photo or plain paper then its worth less than if it was on a letter or cheque. Letters and cheques are more personal and uncover a small amount of her day to day life.
Also, if it is written in pencil its worth less than if written in ink (pencil fades). If its ink and the ink is red, its more than likely its secretarial, meaning her entourage signed it for her. She did use red ink sometimes, not often, but mainly black, blue or green.
Taking everything in consideration, if you do believe its genuine, it could be worth anything from £1,500 - £5,000.
