Selling my extremely rare original Marilyn Monroe photograph taken by George Barris in 1962 at a beach in Santa Monica, California. In excellent condition. Gelatin silver. Size 11x14 inch. Produced from the original negative or transparency in the 80’s. George Barris, Edward Weston, copyright stamp on front. Here Marilyn is in a beautiful pose, carefree and happy with such a cute expression on her face in a gorgeous close up shot wearing her famous sweater she wore that day. Rare shot-One of the “last photos” ever to be taken of the young starlet.

Taken shortly before Marilyn’s passing in June of 1962. Barris went shopping for Marilyn before this shooting and is quoted in his book as saying “On my shopping spree for Marilyn, I went to two of her favorite stores, Jax on Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills, and Saks Fifth Avenue. At Jax I bought her some beautiful slacks and decorative Emilio Pucci sport shirts. When Marilyn & Barris got to Tim’s house, Barris introduced him and his maid, Louise, to Marilyn. Louise became so nervous when Marilyn shook her hand that she fluttered and stuttered, saying, “Is that really you? No one will believe me when I say I met and shook hands with Marilyn Monroe. I can hardly believe it myself. Is that really you?” Marilyn, laughing, replied, “Sometimes I can hardly believe it, too.”
