The months leading up to the tragic suicide of actress Marilyn Monroe were a troubled time. She was coming to grips with addiction, being used by powerful men including (probably) the President of the United States, and mental instability. The strain finally caught up to Monroe by the summer of 1962 about the time this poignant image was snapped, and you can almost feel the pain hidden behind her beauty! One of the last images of Monroe we have seen, this is a vintage example from the United Press and stamped on the back. Crystal clear and bold, this is a perfect vintage piece of photography capturing the most iconic beauty in Hollywood history!
