These candids of Marilyn Monroe were taken shortly before her death in December 1961 by photographer Len Steckler. The negatives of this charming collection had been found recently by Steckler's son who had decided to release them to the public. Marilyn had stopped by Steckler's apartment to visit a mutual friend, poet Carl Sandburg, and graciously allowed the impromptu shoot.

She really is such a beautiful, charismatic woman, i absolutely adore her xx
In retrospect these happy images are all the more tragic for what the future held for her.
So lovely... inspires me to wear my specs and not feel like an ugly duckling!
I love those glasses!
Thanks for sharing these timeless images. Great stuff...
She is so vital and alive here. Shocking to think she only had another 9 months.
Glamour galore on this blog!
