Tom Kelley
Calendrier des photos de Tom Kelley.Pour la petite histoire: Marilyn fut payée $50 pour poser sous l'objectif de Tom Kelley. La séance eut lieu le 27 mai 1949 à Los Angeles. La future star utilisa le pseudonyme Mona Monroe. Le premier calendrier à publier les photos parut en 1952 et en février de la même année, c'est le journaliste reporter Ailene Mosby qui découvra que la beauté nue n'était autre que la star montante Marilyn Monroe, et un scandale éclata. Les Studios de la Fox ont rapidement paniqué et contactèrent Marilyn pour savoir si c'était effectivement elle qui posa nue. Elle leur répondit que oui, et les Studios lui demandèrent alors de mentir aux médias, mais elle leur rétorqua qu'elle n'avait aucune raison d'agir ainsi. Elle participa à une conférence de presse et expliqua qu'elle avait besoin d'argent à l'époque pour régler ses factures. Après cette confession, son courrier de fans augmenta considérablement et son dernier film qui sortit sur les écrans, Clash by Night, connut un succés grâce à cette publicité.

THIS IS THE LAST PICTURE Here it is - the last picture taken of Marilyn Monroe ... she posed for it on a beach near her Hollywood home only a few days before she died. The sun was going down. It was becomming chilly, Marilyn pulled on a thick knitted sweater, draped a blanket over her knees, and posed for a final picture. She pursued her lips and blew a kiss at the cameraman. "OK, George", said Marilyn, "and it's just for you". George ? He is american writer and photograpgher George Barris. He flew to London yesterday with this picture and the intimate story of Marilyn's last days.
Talked She had asked Barris to write her biography and to illustrate it. She had posed for him; she had talked to him for ten weeks about her past and the future... She talked more freely and frankly than she had ever talked to anyone before. Last night, After five hours in London, George Barris flew back to Hollywood for Marilyn's funeral today. A coroner's inquiry is trying to discover whether or not she died by accident after taking sleeping pills. And yesterday police who are piecing together clues to Marilyn's final hours made an important dicovery. They now know that the last phone call Marilyn received on the night of her death come from 20-year-old Joe Dimaggio, Joe son by a previous marriage of her second husband. Barris says: "I am sure Marilyn did not take her life deliberately. She would not have worked so hard with me on the story of her life had she intended to take it. "She still had a lot to live for, and I know she fekt that, too."
