Forty years after Marilyn Monroe passed away, NBC publishes for the first time her photos in her girlhood, for the benefit of her admirers.
When Monroe was still a 19-year-old common girl, a photographer, attracted by her charm, took thousands of pictures for her, with majority never shown to the public.
This August 5, 2003 marks the 41st anniversary of Monroe's death. The photo titled "Last portrait", taken just six weeks before Manroe's death, records her everlasting beauty and glamour even in her last days. The yellow cross on the photo was made by herself and the deep trace left on the color film was also scratched by her intentionally.
