Marilyn Monroe Herb Stern Last Sitting Jewelry Biting Proofs With Notes
Marilyn Monroe Herb Stern Last Sitting Jewelry Biting Proofs With Notes From one of the most legendary photo sessions in history, known as "The Last Sitting", this is one of the massive oversize color prints created by famous photographer Herb Stern in June of 1962, just weeks before Monroe died. The session was for a Vogue magazine spread, and Monroe, high on Champagne, and full of emotion from having just been fired off her last unfinished movie, let all her demons out, and most of her clothes off. She used few props, expect for sheer scarves, and costume jewelry, including a necklace of faux-crystal beads. This is one of the well-known iconic shots of her seductively biting the beads as she looks directly into the camera with her trademark powerful sensuality. The proof print has notes written on the top in red grease pencil by Herb Stern himself. Proof Print is 19"x24".
