Commissioned for Vogue over three days in June of 1962, this photoshoot by famed photographer Bert Stern has become known as "The Last Sitting", as it was the last set done of Marilyn before her death six weeks later. While a small number of the nudes have been published in magazines such as Playboy; the rest of this photo session has remained largely unpublished (until now). Many are semi/see-thru/nudes; there is also a rare shot of a nude Marilyn in full frontal profile. Stern was able to get his subject to loosen up over three days and several glasses of wine, and subsequently captured a side of Marilyn never before seen on camera.

Enjoy this intimate, playful interpretation of Movie Star and Sex Icon, Marilyn Monroe from the Summer of 1962.
