In 1955 actress and model Marilyn Monroe announced to the world that she had reinvented herself and appeared with socialite Elsa Maxwell to present to the world the "New Marilyn." She had also started her own production company to help capitalize on her fame and appeal. The offered rare photograph from a press agency (Gilloon) captures the dup at the event with Marilyn looking stunning. Taken at the height of her career, this is the only original photograph from this event we have ever seen and it dates to 1955 with a full paper caption on the back.
