Marilyn Monroe - Reading Scripts & on the Telephone 1962 by George Barris RARE

1962 - He is perhaps best known for his work with Marilyn Monroe, however, with whom he was collaborating on a book at the time of her death. As part of this project, he is believed to have taken the last photographs of Monroe while she was alive.

He did not allow these to be published until many years after her death.

George Barris and famed photographer Bert Stern claim to have taken the 'last picture' of Marilyn Monroe, when neither of them did, since photographer Allan Grant photographed Monroe on July 7, 1962 for a LIFE Magazine article.

This article was printed just two days before Monroe's death.
