Have you seen the newly released, previously unpublished photos of a 24-year-old Marilyn Monroe, courtesy of the LIFE Magazine vaults?
You can view some of them here: http://www.life.com/image/first/in-gallery/27412
They were recently discovered when a LIFE employee (um, one of the two or three left?) uncovered them while they were in the process of digitizing the defunct magazine's massive photo archive.
It's nice to see her unglamorized by celebrity, naturally beautiful and free of her oversexed image. It seems a more true portrait of the Marilyn Monroe depicted in several biographies, the best of which is Marilyn Monroe: The Biography by Donald Spoto.
