Unseen Marilyn Monroe photographs released

Previously unseen candid pictures of Marilyn Monroe away from the studio as she relaxes and learns her lines go on show to the public today.

The unposed photographs capture the star in her private moments; in front of a mirror, on a plane and in bed.

Limited edition prints have been released to selected galleries across the UK of the eight pictures from the collection of world renowned photographer Eve Arnold.

Now 94 the Pulitzer Prize winner built a bond of trust with the star which shows itself in the intimate shots.

The collection is being opened today at a Marilyn-themed evening event at the Meller Gallery in Witney, Oxfordshire and will be available only until Christmas.

Only a handful of other galleries across the UK are showing the pictures as only 495 prints have been made of each one.

Which speaks quite ill for contemporary culture, IMO.

maybe i'd feel better about myself

much better than still shots of her.

she remains absolutely beautiful.

both argree that she is quite beautiful. Too bad the fad was for dark eye liner and brows back in her day. She was prettiest without the dark lines, like in pic four, IMO.
