And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind, never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in. In that lyric Elton John captured part of the essence of Marilyn in a song dedicated to her memory. Marilyn Monroe remains an icon of America many years after her untimely death. Maybe it’s because of her early demise that she has attained immortality. We’ll never know for sure. What we do know is that photos of Marilyn have affected more men around the world than perhaps those of any other woman in history. This now famous photo was shot by Bert Stern only six weeks before her death. She sat for three sessions for Stern and the pics were to be used by Vogue Magazine. Those sessions produced timeless photos of Marilyn. This print features an authentic Stern signature and has “179/250” in black marker on the lower left corner. Poster is 20 x 20” and is framed (22.25 x 28.25”).
