Description

Marilyn Monroe Picture and Negative. Absolutely iconic and breathtaking portrait of Marilyn Monroe, taken backstage by Irv Steinberg after her legendary birthday serenade to President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden. Flushed with triumph, wrapped in ermine, Marilyn glows in this intensely beautiful close-up, seemingly proudly aware of the contribution she had just made to the legend and lore of "Camelot". This stunning photograph comes with its original negative and its copyright notice. Excellent condition.
