Marilyn Monroe photographed by George Barris in her last photographic session, before her death on 4th August 1962. 

“The sun had gone down, it was windy, it was cold, and Marilyn said, ‘Can’t we stop? I’m getting cold’. I said, ‘There’s only one film left in the camera’, and she said, ‘But, George, you’re always saying that’, and I said, ‘No, honestly, it’s the last picture’. So we took the towel, or the blanket, we put it over her legs, and she said, ‘I’ll blow a kiss to you’. She puckered up her lips and she said, ‘George, this is just for you’. And I’ll never forget, that was the last picture we took. We got up, it was rather chilly on the 13th of July. We both walked off the beach, and that was the end of our photographic session.” - George Barris.
