MARILYN: Never-Published Photos

That Gorgeous Face

That Gorgeous Face

Marilyn turns to the camera. "She was unknown then, so I was able to spend a lot of time shooting her," photographer Clark recalled in the 1999 interview. "We'd go out to Griffith Park and she'd read poetry. I sent several rolls to LIFE in New York, but they wired back, 'Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe?' Later, though, they did a cover of my shot of Marilyn and Jane Russell in 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.' "
