A collection of more than 100 previously unpublished photos of Marilyn Monroe can be seen for the first time in a new book.
'Marilyn: August 1953', published this week by Calla Editions, features digitally restored black and white images taken during the summer of 1953 of a then 27-year-old Monroe.
The photos were shot by John Vachon, on assignment for LOOK magazine in Alberta, Canada, where Monroe was filming 'River of No Return' with Robert Mitchum.

1. Huh; she doesn't look smitten to me at all.

He does, though.

2. Yep.. Joe is smitten.. clearly.. Marilyn? I can't tell from this shot..

3. Her eyes are down and she appears to be

blushing. That's my interpretation anyway.

8. That landscape is certainly enough to captivate anyone...

That said, she seems a bit uncomfortable or even shy....He certainly does seem "smitten."

interpreting a photo.

9. 1953 - The year her earlier movie "Niagra" was released

"Niagra" was released in 1953, starring Monroe as well as Joseph Cotten and Jean Peters. It showed real promise for Monroe as a dramatic actress. It's a great movie!

OOPS. I edit this to correct my mistake. She was there filming "River of No Return." But you should still see "Niagra."

10. Lenny Briscoe dated Marilyn Monroe?

J/K.

Lovely photos. She died before I was born.

Every time I see her photo, I hear "Candle in the wind" by Sir Elton John in my mind's ear.
