Rare November 12, 1954 photograph of actress Marilyn Monroe leaving the Cedars of Lebanon hospital in Los Angeles after a surgery. She was still hoping to have a child and become a normal member of society, but this was a turning point in her life as she would soon be divorced, further addicted to drugs, and be in and out of hospitals the rest of her life. A rare double weight image, the figures are crystal clear of both Marilyn and her nurse but there is a spot of damage at the top border. It is impossible to know exactly when this blank backed image was produced but we feel based on the paper and gelatin that it was made in the 1960's shortly after Marilyn's death, c. 1965-1969.
