Est. $8,000-$10,000 Marilyn Monroe Rare 8"x10" Photograph With White Veil From "The Last Sitting Series" Photographed by Bert Stern - This goregous photograph is of the iconic Marilyn Monroe. The photo pictures a sensual Marilyn Monroe, with a white fishnet veil over her face. The photo was captured by the renowned photographer Bert Stern, and was taken just six weeks before she passed, which is why the portfolio from which this photo came from became known as the ?Last Sitting.? The photographs were published in Vogue under the title "The Last Sitting". The photograph is in excellent condition, with no tears or creasing. Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) was an American actress and model, who became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s. Monroe's few rivals in popularity include Elvis Presley and Mickey Mouse, and no other star has ever inspired such a wide range of emotions from lust to pity, from envy to remorse. The American Film Institute has named her the sixth greatest female screen legend in American film history, and the Smithsonian Institution has included her on their list of "100 Most Significant Americans of All Time". Marilyn Monroe remains a sex symbol, beauty icon, and one of the most famous stars of classical Hollywood cinema. Monroe remains a valuable brand, and her influence will likely continue to live on for years to come.
