Happy Birthday Marilyn Monroe

Happy Birthday Marilyn Monroe

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Marilyn Monroe!  Today would mark the 86th birthday of the bombshell who made being blond iconic.  Marilyn, born Norma Jean Baker, was a actress, model, and singer who could easily be called America's first major "sex symbol."  Even though she had a larger than life persona, many described her as a shy, somewhat wounded soul, yearning to be accepted in a world that only looked at her for what she looked like.  She passed away on August 5, 1962.  Her death was deemed a "probable suicide", but murder and accidental overdose have never been ruled out.  Many conspiracies exist about what may have happened to the great Marilyn!  May she rest in peace.

Marilyn Monroe was one of the most sexy icons of her time.  Many photos were taken of the model/actress and some rare vintage photos taken by Ben Stern in 1962 six weeks before her death. They are a set of chromogenic prints in a session entitled "The Last Sitting".  The photographer had three photo sessions with the beauty for Vogue Magazine in 1962.  Marilyn can be seen posing topless with a sheer scarf.  The photos will go on sale May 8, 2012, in New York.  The photos are in high demand and are expected to get as much as $25,000 dollars.  Marilyn Monroe was found dead August 5, 1962, at the age of 36.
