Fin août 1952, New York - Marilyn
C'est pour assurer la promotion de la sortie du film "Chérie je me sens rajeunir" que Marilyn Monroe se rend à New York (elle y arrive le 26 août et en repart le 31 août pour se rendre à la première du film à Atlantic City). C'est à son hôtel -le Sherry Netherland Hotel- de New York, qu'elle a rencontré les journalistes de la côte Est pour plusieurs interviews. Sidney Fields, chroniqueur au New York Daily Mirror, publiera un article (le 15 septembre) illustré de cette photographie de Marilyn - cliché probablement pris pendant la promotion à New York.

Sidney Fields, columnist at the Daily Mirror, will publish an article (on September 15) illustrated with this photograph of Marilyn - shot probably taken during the promotion in New York.
Dans son article "Marilyn Monroe: orphan on a star", Sidney Fields met en avant la popularité grandissante de Marilyn et y évoque sa relation avec Joe DiMaggio, l'amour que lui porte le public (en particulier les soldats), son physique de pin-up, son enfance dans les orphelinats, Tante Ana (Lower), son premier mariage avec Jim Dougherty et ses débuts dans le cinéma.
