·· September 25, 2008 ·A photographer has sued for the return of seven photographs he took of Marilyn Monroe in the nude during the legendary "last sitting" in a hotel room just weeks before her death.
Photographer Bert Stern, who owns the rights to thousands of Monroe images, shot the photographs in question in July 1962 at the Bel Air Hotel. He is demanding the prints from three people who obtained them.
Stern had sold the pictures to "Eros Magazine," but the images were never returned, according to a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in New York State Supreme Court.
Stern did not realize the images were missing until he was approached by three individuals who had obtained the photographs and wanted to license them, said his lawyer Stephen Weingrad. Click here to read more. source: reuters.com
· Rare film footage of Marilyn Monroe on the set of her 1959 hit "Some Like It Hot" sold at auction Thursday night for US$14,624.
The two-and-a-half minute eight mm film, which features Monroe goofing around with co-stars Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, was shot by a U.S. naval officer who was invited to the set after Monroe visited his base in San Diego.
The sailor's daughter, who moved to Australia's Victoria state, discovered the film by chance among her late father's possessions.
The footage, which was snapped up by an unnamed collector from Sydney, was expected to sell for between US$16,721 and US$20,896.
"Admittedly our pre-sale estimate was something of a guess. The sale price was in the ballpark but we didn't have too much to compare it with," auctioneer Charles Leski of Leski Auctions said. "Our only comparison -- the only other bit of amateur footage of Monroe that changed hands at an auction -- was a 47-minute film shot by an extra on another of her films, 'The Misfits,' which was sold in Las Vegas in June for $US60,000."
The film shows Monroe surrounded by sailors at the base and later cuts to scenes from the movie set.
Monroe won a Golden Globe award in 1960 for her performance in the screwball comedy classic. She died in 1962 from a drug overdose. source: The Associated Press
