Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe remains the defining sex symbol of 1950s Hollywood, with no confirmed nude scene in her film work. She built her image on calculated reveals rather than explicit footage. The Seven Year Itch gave her the skirt-blowing shot that defined her career. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes paired her with Jane Russell in a film that leaned hard on her figure and comic timing. Bus Stop and Let's Make Love showed a more dramatic side while still trading on her looks. The Misfits, her final completed film, captured her near the end of her career. How To Marry A Millionaire found her playing against type in an ensemble comedy. The archive here holds 7 photo galleries pulled from these productions. Expect stills of her in fitted gowns, swimsuits, and the kind of posed studio shots that built her legend. Marilyn Monroe The Mortal Goddess rounds out the collection with a dedicated set of career images.
