[Inky]

Life magazine just released some never before seen photos taken of Marilyn in August of 1950 that are a lovely glimpse of this beautiful woman:

Worth a mint, too-

Great stuff. Swoon. Sigh.
I read an article some time back, that pointed out that it was as much her appearance in photos in print media . . . err I mean magazines . . . that boosted her image, as much as her film roles. This is clear evidence of that.

 

[J. M. Stovall]

Yowsa! She was so cute!

 

[JohnnyGringo]

Wow, she really was a beautiful young woman-I think these are some of my favorite Marilyn photos ever.

 

[Tigerlily]

She truly was like eye candy. I never get tired of looking at her photos! There is just something there. Lovely photos of a lovely woman.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I'd love to have these photos to sell at auction!

I'm crazy about young Norma Jean!

 

[Goldfish]

I have seen these pictures before, I don't know why they "advertise" them as new.

 

[Tigerlily]

They're new to people who don't really follow her so perhaps they wanted to do something for her birthday. Who knows? [huh]

Thanks, Inky! These pics were new to me, and I loved them!

"WOW!" he stammered, before tipping out of his chair and whacking his head on the radiator.

 

[Foofoogal]

Definitely eye candy. The camera loved her.

 

[Tomasso]

her appearance in photos in magazines ...boosted her image, as much as her film roles.

Some say that the Playboy pics propelled her into super-stardom.

 

[CherryKrissy]

Wow, those are some beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing Inky!

Wow, she really was a beautiful young woman-I think these are some of my favorite Marilyn photos ever.

Mine too. They show her as a naturally beautiful young woman before Hollywood got the hooks into her. I really don't like a lot of later photos, they look so artificial to me, overly made -up, coiffed, dressed, and posed. These are about the right amount of make-up, hair alteration, and pose. And the clothes make it look so natural.

(am I a sucker for the "girl next door" look? Yeah. Yeah I am.)

Today many don't even know that MM was the centerfold in the very first Playboy (December 1953). Red velvet and bare skin -

Such a beautiful young lady with such a tragic end.

Thanks for sharing.

that's Marilyn, not Marylin - and 1950, not 1952 - did I get any part right?
