50 Rare Historical Photos That You Probably Haven’t Seen Before

#51 Marilyn Monroe On The Beach From The Year 1957
You don’t need to be a fan to know who Marilyn Monroe was but just in case you don’t, she was a famous American singer, actress, and model who became extremely popular back in the 50s and 60s with millions of fans both in the States and abroad. And even though the actress passed away back in 1962 at just 36 years old, she has remained a major pop culture icon to this day.

Throughout her career, countless photographers took photos of Marilyn but it was Sam Shaw that took one of her most iconic photoshoots. He was a close friend of the actress and organized a beach photoshoot of her back in 1957. Marilyn was pregnant at the time but, sadly, had a miscarriage a month later.
