Possibly rare photos of Marilyn Monroe up for auction

**Cali** · June 26th, 2009, 01:56 PM

There is a huge auction of Marilyn Monroe's personal items (here: Entertainment Memorabilia : Hollywood Memorabilia : Beatles & Rock Memorabilia : Julien's Auctions) and I checked out the auction booklet and took some screenshots of some of the photos. Some of the photos have a black bar on them because the file wouldn't stop loading- sorry about that. Most of the dates should be right- i went off what the booklet said. Anyway, enjoy!

There's a bunch of photos so I'll probably upload them in batches so check for updates.

1945:

1949 and her early years:

1954:

Thanks so much for these, Cali. I'm reading a book about Marilyn at the moment: 'Blonde' by Joyce Carol Oates. It's kind of heartbreaking seeing these photos.

I though it would be impossible to take a bad picture of Marilyn, but the dumb photographer here managed to do it!
She looks short and unproportioned.

Gorgeous pics, thank you. I think the first one under 1954 is from the 1960's.

That one is her last photoshoot for Life magazine in 1962, they auctioned the chair and it still had a puncture hole from her stiletto.
