I found some new pictures of Marilyn. In this shoot she’s visiting the movie set of Sitting Pretty in January 1948. I’ve added the pictures to the gallery.

The pictures are taken by Life photographer Loomis Dean. What Marilyn was doing at the set, is still unknown since she wasn’t in the cast. The darkhaired girl is actress Laurette Luez. She wasn’t in the cast either. The two girls seem to be eating chocolates with actor Clifton Webb.

Finally, some new additions to the gallery! I’ve added pictures made by John Vachon to it, which were taken during filming River of No Return from August 1953.

In September 2010 a new photobook will be released, with lots of unseen pictures. Taken by LOOK photographer John Vachon.

I’ve added new pictures to the gallery, made by Richard C. Miller.

Photographer Richard Miller photographed Marilyn in 1946, when she just started her career. The result is beautiful, with lots of colours and poses.
