Description

Marilyn Monroe Picture and Negative. This Irv Steinberg picture shows Marilyn and her "entourage" departing Madison Square Garden following the May 1962 JFK birthday party. All of Steinberg's photos are outstanding, and this one offers especially striking imagery of the sheen on Marilyn's hair and the the relief and pride in her post-show smile. This picture also provides a great view of the classic Jean Louis "body stocking" gown that fit the star so tightly that she could barely make her way across the stage to sing the infamous "Happy Birthday" song. The picture comes with its original negative and its copyright notice. Excellent condition.
