On Sunday morning, director Brett Ratner took to Instagram to express his sadness at his longtime friend's death, writing: 'My good friend pictured here passed today! #PhilStern 95 year old.'
Posting a photo of himself walking with Stern on a film set, he added: 'Legendary photographer with an amazing life! Grateful that I was there for his 95th birthday!'
On Sunday afternoon, he uploaded another photo of himself posing with the photographer on his 90th birthday. Despite looking frail and being hooked to tubes, Stern was seen beaming widely.
During his career, 'Snapdragon' Stern worked as a special still cameraman on an array of films, including 'Guys and Dolls' and 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind', Variety reported.
He also become renowned for his photography while serving as a U.S. Army Ranger in the 'Darby's Rangers' unit in the North African and Italian campaigns during World War II.
'There were a lot of very ugly things during the war - and a lot of very beautiful things,' Stern told the magazine earlier this year. 'I photographed everything.”
He was later decorated with a Purple Heart for his services. Ater the war, Stern settled in Los Angeles, where he became a staff photographer for LOOK magazine.
Over the past few decades, his photos of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean have gained iconic status, while he has also photographed Louis Armstrong, Orson Welles and Joan Crawford.
He even contributed photos for albums by artists Liza Minnelli, Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie.
Celebrated: Stern is pictured at Photo LA's
22nd Annual Photographic Art Exposition in January last year
For the final years of his life, Stern resided at the Veterans Home of California, where he continued to wear a camera around his neck and take photographs of those around him.
In a touching tribute, Stern's worldwide agent, Geoff Katz, of Creative Photographers Inc, described the photographer as a 'one-of-a-kind' talent who lived a 'full and exciting life'.
He told MailOnline: 'I am honored and privileged to have worked with Phil over the last 20 years. It has been an amazing journey, he was one of a kind. I will treasure the time I spent with Phil and his family, His legacy will live on through his iconic images.'
Stern's sons, Peter and Tom, have donated 95 prints from their father's work (WW2, Jazz and Hollywood) to the the West Los Angeles VA Hospital as a permanent exhibition.
The photographer's autobiography, 'Phil Stern: A Life’s Work', was published in October 2003.

26/06/1953 Grauman's Chinese Theater
Marilyn Monroe, enfant, avait souvent essayé de mettre ses mains et ses pieds dans les empreintes des stars de cinéma (comme celles de Jean Harlow, photo ci-contre), devant le Grauman's Chinese Theater. "Je n'ai jamais pu trouver pieds à ma taille, ils étaient toujours trop grands", raconta-t-elle.
Le 26 juin 1953, peu avant la sortie de 'Les hommes préfèrent les blondes', Marilyn Monroe et Jane Russell, les deux actrices du film, sont invitées à poser leurs empreintes dans le ciment frais. Marilyn suggére que pour mieux rester fidèles à leurs célébrités, Jane (pour laquelle Howard Hugues avait dessiné un soutien-gorge spécial) aurait dû se coucher par terre pour poser la forme de ses seins, et qu'elle-même se serait assise pour laisser celle de ses fesses! L'idée n'ayant bien sûr pas été retenue, elle demande qu'un diamant soit posé pour le point de son "i" de "Marilyn" en l'honneur de la chanson du film "Diamonds are the girls best friends". Un diamant de fantaisie est placé, mais rapidement descellé et volé.
Marilyn Monroe, as a child, had often tried to put her hands and feet in the footprints of movie stars (such as Jean Harlow, see picture above) before the Grauman's Chinese Theater: "I never could find my feet in size, they were always too big", she told.
In June 26 , 1953, shortly before the release of 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' on screen, Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell, the two actresses of the film, are invited to put their footprints in the wet cement. Marilyn suggests that in order to remain faithful to their celebrities, Jane (for whom Howard Hughes had designed a special bra) should lie on the ground to put the shape of their breasts, and they would sit to let prints of their ass ! The idea have obviously been unsuccessful, so she asks that a diamond is put to point the "i" in "Marilyn" in honor of the song from the movie "Diamonds are the girls best friends". A fancy diamond is placed, but quickly loosened and stolen.

"C'est pour toujours, n'est-ce pas ?" demande Marilyn à Jane au moment fatidique. Elle est submergée par l'émotion tant cet honneur est réservée aux plus grandes stars.

Le jour même de la cérémonie, Gladys Whitten Rasmussen, sa coiffeuse, reçoit un coup de fil affolé de Marilyn: "J'ai besoin de toi, s'il te plaît Gladness. S'il te plaît, vient, et amène aussi ta maman." La situation semble grave à en juger par la voix, jusqu'à ce que Marilyn explique: "Je ne sais pas quelle robe mettre !" Gladys, qui habite dans un autre quartier de Los Angeles, bondit dans sa voiture: "On aurait dit une gamine ! Je ne pouvais pas m'empêcher de l'aider."
The day of the ceremony, Gladys Whitten Rasmussen, her hairdresser, receives a frantic phone call from Marilyn: "I need you, please Gladness. Please, come and take also your mom." The situation seems serious judging by her voice, until Marilyn says: "I don't know how to dress!" Gladys, who lived in another part of Los Angeles, jumps in her car: "She looked like a little girl ! I couldn't prevent to help her."

Le 3 août 1952, Marilyn Monroe est l'invitée d'honneur de la fête Ray Anthony Party, organisée par l'attaché de presse de Ray Anthony, Red Doff, et par la Fox pour promouvoir leur nouvelle star, car Marilyn accédait peu à peu à une certaine notoriété: elle était en tournage du film Niagara et son film Don't bother to knock était encore à l'affiche sur les écrans américains et de grandes pancartes publicitaires étaient disposées pour promouvoir le film.

09/02/1953, Beverly Hills Hotel - Marilyn reçoit le prix Photoplay
Le 9 février 1953, Marilyn Monroe reçoit le prix "The New Star Award" ("Le prix de la nouvelle star") du magazine Photoplay de "Rapid Rise to Stardom in 1952" ("L'accès le plus rapide à la célébrité pour l'année 1952"). La remise de prix eut lieu dans une salle du Beverly Hills Hotel. C'est Fred Sammis qui lui remet le prix et Marilyn est arrivée avec deux heures de retard.
In February 9, 1953, Marilyn Monroe is awarded the "The New Star Award" by 'Photoplay' magazine of the "Rapid Rise to Stardom in 1952". The award ceremony tooks place in a room at the Beverly Hills Hotel. This is Fred Sammis who gives her the price.
Son fiancé Joe DiMaggio ayant horreur des galas hollywoodiens, Marilyn était ainsi accompagnée de son ami journaliste Sidney Skolsky.
Her fiance Joe DiMaggio hates Hollywood Party, so Marilyn was accompanied by friend and journalist Sidney Skolsky.
Pour cette réception, Marilyn Monroe porta la désormais célèbre robe en lamé doré, cousue sur elle, et conçue par Billy Travilla, le costumier styliste des studios de la Fox. Une robe créée pour le film Les Hommes préfèrent les Blondes, et dont la majorité de la scène sera finalement coupée au montage, et on pense en deviner la raison: lors de cette soirée de la remise du prix Photoplay, Marilyn va déclencher à nouveau un scandale dont l'origine n'est autre que sa tenue, jugée -encore une fois- vulgaire et provocante ! Dès son arrivée, l'acteur Jerry Lewis -l'un des maîtres de la cérémonie- a sauté sur une table en hurlant comme un loup.
For the reception party, Marilyn wears the now famous gold lamé dress, sewn on her, and designed by Billy Travilla, the costume designer of Fox studios. A dress created for the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and from it the majority of the scene will be eventually edited out, and we think guess why: during the evening of the award Photoplay, Marilyn will trigger a new scandal whose origin is none other than her outfit, judged -again- vulgar! The launch of the anti-Marilyn campaign was led by actress Joan Crawford who was present at this event. Marilyn has stolen the limelight, Crawford attacked Marilyn by jealousy.
> Marilyn entourée de Dean Martin et Jerry Lewis
Les journalistes commenteront dans la presse l'apparition de Marilyn et surtout sa tenue:
- Dès le lendemain, la chroniqueuse Florabel Muir écrit dans le Los Angeles Daily Mirror : "Avec une petite torsion de son derriere, Marilyn Monroe a volé la vedette... Les invités rassemblés ont éclaté sous des applaudissements féroces, [tandis que] deux autres stars de l'écran, Joan Crawford et Lana Turner, n'ont attiré qu'une attention occasionnelle. Après Marilyn, toutes les autres filles paraissaient bien ternee par contraste."
- La journaliste échotière Sheilah Graham dit de Marilyn, qu'elle “se tortilla, vêtue de la plus serrée des robes dorées moulantes. Tandis que tout le monde la regardait, la blonde se balançait sinueusement dans la longue pièce jusqu'à sa place sur l'estrade. Elle avait arrêté le spectacle à froid.”
- Le journaliste Jim Bacon (de l'Associated Press), compare le fessier de Marilyn à "deux chiots se battant sous un drap de soie" (la formule restera célèbre dans les citations sur Marilyn).
- Quand à Joan Crawford, elle exprime son ressentiment à travers un article de son chroniqueur préféré, Bob Thomas, qui va la citer: "C'était comme un spectacle burlesque. Le public a crié et crié, et Jerry Lewis s'est levé sur la table et a sifflé. Mais ceux d'entre nous dans l'industrie ont juste frissonné. . . Le sexe joue un rôle extrêmement important dans la vie de chaque personne. Les gens s'y intéressent, en sont intrigués. Mais ils n'aiment pas le voir étalé sur leurs visages. . . La publicité est allée trop loin. Elle fait l'erreur de croire sa publicité. Quelqu'un devrait lui faire voir la lumière. Il faut lui dire que le public aime les personnalités féminines provocantes; mais il aime aussi savoir que sous tout cela, les actrices sont des dames."
The journalists will comment in the press the appearance of Marilyn and specially her outfit:
- The next day, the gossip columnist Florabel Muir writes in the Los Angeles Daily Mirror that "With one little twist of her derriere, Marilyn Monroe stole the show… The assembled guests broke into wild applause, [while] two other screen stars, Joan Crawford and Lana Turner, got only casual attention. After Marilyn every other girl appeared dull by contrast."
- The gossip columnist Sheilah Graham says of Marilyn that she “wriggled in, wearing the tightest of tight gold dresses. While everyone watched, the blonde swayed sinuously down the long room to her place on the dais. She had stopped the show cold.”
- The reporter Jim Bacon (from the Associated Press) compares the buttocks of Marilyn like “two puppies fighting under a silk sheet.”
- As for Joan Crawford, she expresses her resentment through an article by her favorite columnist, Bob Thomas, who will quote her: "It was like a burlesque show. The audience yelled and shouted, and Jerry Lewis got up on the table and whistled. But those of us in the industry just shuddered. . .Sex plays a tremendously important part in every person’s life. People are interested in it, intrigued with it. But they don’t like to see it flaunted in their faces. . . The publicity has gone too far. She is making the mistake of believing her publicity. Someone should make her see the light. She should be told that the public likes provocative feminine personalities; but it also likes to know that underneath it all, the actresses are ladies."
La réponse de Marilyn à Joan Crawford sera rapportée par un article de Louella Parsons:
"Bien que je ne connaisse pas très bien Mlle Crawford, elle était pour moi un symbole de gentillesse et de compréhension envers ceux qui ont besoin d’aide. Au début, tout ce à quoi je pouvais penser était pourquoi m'aurait-elle choisi pour lancer son venin ? C'est une grande star. Je ne fais que débuter. Et puis, après le premier choc, je me suis dit qu'elle avait dû parler à M. Thomas impulsivement, sans réfléchir."
Marilyn's response to Joan Crawford will be reported in an article by Louella Parsons:
"Although I don’t know Miss Crawford very well, she was a symbol to me of kindness and understanding to those who need help. At first, all I could think of was why should she select me to blast ? She is a great star. I’m just starting. And then, when the first hurt began to die down, I told myself she must have spoken to Mr. Thomas impulsively, without thinking."
