A rare look at Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe, 1957

ALLAN "WHITEY" SNYDER
This photo was taken in 1957 in England during the filming of "The Prince and the Showgirl." The photo was taken on set during a costume test. The film was being produced by Monroe and photographer Milton Greene. Laurence Olivier was directing the film, but he and Marilyn didn't get along well, so in a lot of the photos from this session she isn't smiling. In most of Snyder's photos, though, she's smiling because of their close relationship.
