Il a besoin d'une image plus iconique et glamour destinée à faire la couverture du magazine Motor World (édition du 19 juin 1953) pour mettre en scène la voiture Singer roadster. Il convie Sammy Davis Jr. (qui en plus d'être acteur, chanteur, danseur et musicien, s'intéresse à la photographie en collectionnant les appareils photos et pratiquant la photographie en amateur). Sammy vient accompagner d'Arthur Silbert, son meilleur ami et associé. Et ils posent ensemble avec Marilyn Monroe devant la voiture.
Arthur Silbert racontera: "N'ayant normalement rien à faire la journée car nous travaillons la nuit dans toutes les boîtes de nuit à travers le pays, c'était dans notre habitude de passer pas mal de temps dans les studios à rendre visite à des amis."
He needs a more iconic and glamorous image to make the cover of Motor World (published in June, 19) magazine to emphasis on the roadster Singer car. He invites Sammy Davis Jr. (who, besides being an actor, singer, dancer and musician, is interested in photography by collecting cameras and practicing amateur photography). Sammy comes with Arthur Silbert, his best friend and business partner. And they pose together with Marilyn Monroe in front of the car.
Arthur Silbert later tell: "Normally having nothing to do during the day as we worked at night in all-night clubs around the country, it was our practise to spend a lot of time hanging out at the studios visiting friends."

Sur l'une des photographies, Marilyn dédicace une photo d'elle à Arthur Silbert: "To Art, Love and kisses, Marilyn Monroe".
Arthur Silbert expliquera: "Après la courte séance photo, le photographe a pris une photo de nous trois devant la voiture. Sammy et moi avions eu chacun une photographie de Marilyn et nous lui avons demandé de nous la dédicacer."
On one of the photographs, Marilyn signs a photo of her to Arthur Silbert: "To Art, Love and kisses, Marilyn Monroe".
Arthur Silbert will explain: "After the brief shoot, the photographer took a picture of all three us standind and sitting on and around the car. Sammy and I each had been given a pictures of Marilyn and we asked her to autograph the for us."
