Marilyn Monroe is an iconic figure from recent American history. She was a role model for many women in her time and many women in the present day. Most people think that she’s only famous because of the JFK scandal, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
These photos by her dear friend and photographer George Barris shows her spectacular modeling ability.
What makes these pictures especially important is that they are a collection of the last professional photos taken before Monroe’s tragic death in 1962.
The last photo of her blowing a kiss to Barris in a blanket was the final photo ever taken of her before she died.
Marilyn was a singer, actress, and model with a wonderful career that ended way too soon. If you don’t know much about her, please take the time to look into her amazing library of work. Hopefully it’ll inspire you as much as it has so many others.
