MARILYN: Never-Published Photos

The Relationship Continues

The Relationship Continues

In 1953, three years after the Griffith Park shoot, Ed Clark visited the set of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," where he captured many of the iconic moments from the film. Here, Marilyn performs "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend," the number that later inspired Madonna's "Material Girl" video. See more photos of Marilyn Monroe on the set. (And if you're interested in even more Marilyn, pre-order LIFE's "Remembering Marilyn" book.)
