New photographs of Marilyn Monroe lounging at the New York apartment of photographer Len Steckler nine months before she died were unveiled on Friday after being held in a private archive for more than 45 years.
The photos were taken in December, 1961, when Monroe unexpectedly arrived at Steckler’s apartment to visit his friend, Pulitzer-prize winning poet Carl Sandburg.
The photographer is offering the images for a sale on his website as a limited edition series called “Marilyn Monroe: The Visit.”
The pictures show Monroe wearing pointed, thick-rimmed sunglasses and a short sleeve dress while talking and laughing with Sandburg.
