Marilyn Monroe photographed by George Barris in 1962, wearing an orange top during the series of sessions that became known as Barris’s “Last Photos.” Barris photographed Monroe in the Hollywood Hills and at Santa Monica Beach during the summer of 1962, creating some of the final professional portraits made of her.
What makes these images stand out is how relaxed and contemporary they feel compared with the highly controlled studio glamour associated with much of Monroe’s career. This frame, with Monroe leaning casually on the floor in bright color, shows a softer and more informal side of her image during the same year she was working on Something’s Got to Give.
